Abandon Me: A Poem

Because I will never abandon you.

34
Alone

I come in waves, of emotions, of surprises.

Some may not be predicable, while others can be.

I will push you when I'm mad, I will cry out loud when I'm sad.

But I can never abandon you.


I lock myself in when I don't have anything to say.

Nothing can make me speak, not even your smiles, hugs, or kisses against my tender cheek.

The past reminds me of those bitter moments.

Before people eventually abandon me.


I'm sorry, but nothing can ever fulfill me.

There's this hole that I discover about myself from time to time.

This hole that I can never show others, for people will then realize that I'm not worth it.

My past will just repeat itself: laughing, gazes looking me up and down, paired silhouettes in a crowd without me.


I want the sky to hug me, I want the clouds to support me, I want the sea to surround me.

I want love, approval, support, and kindness.

But every time, I grasp at it, those things always take a step away.

As if my hand and my heart are just cruel, cruel objects desiring for something they can never receive.


Abandon me, before you lose yourself.

Abandon me, before you realize you love someone else.

Abandon me, before you recognize who I really am.

Just abandon me, before it's too late.


My smiles, my tears, all my turmoil from within

Will eventually swallow you up.

The decision's yours.

Will you allow yourself to be swallowed or will you escape the reality of what's really inside of me?

The one that you thought was for you was nothing but a figment.

Something you made up, for the reality is far far worse.


Abandon me,

Because I will never abandon you.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
