Don't Leave Me - A Poem

What are your words if they are only said in vain?

Don't Leave Me - A Poem
www.maxpixel.net

You are the light to my darkness.

Constant and persistent, but only when you will it to be.

Because you are only the light to my darkness,

When it's easy for you.


When actual darkness and difficulties occur,

You don't look back at the girl you fell in love with.

Instead, you run away, from the beast she turns into.

Because you know you can't tame her.


Then why do I still yearn for you?

For your emotional reassurances, comforting hugs, your warm eyes?

Why do I still want you to be with me when you run away during our tough times?

Why am I the only one begging for you, when you can drop me in an instant?

Why do I care so much?


Don't leave me, my heart whispers along with its vessels that hold it steady.

Don't leave me, don't find someone new.

Don't leave me, I don't have the will to go this time.

Don't leave me, I've been broken too much to break my own heart again.

Don't leave me a third time.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
