"Who saves a hero?"

The blinking line on the page
Give you your own little stage
It asks: "What's on your mind?"
But the answer is hard to find
So much flies though the empty space
Of the abyss that is behind my face
More than I could share
More than I dare
To know what goes on in my head
Would give most cause to dread
From darkness to bright flowers
My brain ticks away the hours
Until the next stimuli I wait
Either brought or that I create
But the answer is not a simple one
It would be many hours 'til I would be done
But the only real reason to put such here
Has nothing to do with fear
I am an attention whore through and through
But I must become new
Not asking for attention
Where there is no retention
The only attention I should need is mine
I tell everyone that I am fine
My support system is done
Gone to someone else who is more fun
Who do I get my support from?
When everyone else is done
The guy who saves everyone
Is alone when everyone is done
So who saves the hero?
Before he becomes a zero...

One could say that the man does free
Should be filled with glee
But the glee comes from the save
And when there is no one to save...

The hero rides into the horizon
Sure to save more by the dozen
That's why they leave so soon
It's that or face their own doom
Because without people to save
The hero might as well dig their grave
My job is nearly done
I have battled but have not won

Who saves the hero?
When the hero needs a hero...

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
