Poetry on Odyssey: Nice To Meet You

A poem about...me.

Poetry on Odyssey: Nice To Meet You
Alexandria Nalevanko

Hi, my name is Alex.

I'm a sophomore at West Chester University.

I'm a business major with an actual passion for journalism.


But I know you don't care about that.

I know you'll forget about that by tomorrow.

Or maybe that's my anxiety talking--that's its favorite thing to do.


Maybe you won't forget that just like you,

I always wonder what words people use to describe me when I'm not around.

I wonder if I said anything that hurt someones feelings.

I worry that maybe I'll be the last person on the invite list.


But then again I really don't want to be invited at all.

Hi, my name is Alex.

My toes don't look like they belong on a human and I make a ton of mistakes,

I'm left handed and my car has never been over 65 MPH.

I'm scared of a lot of things, but at least I can pull off the color yellow sometimes.

I try to be a good person and I think I'm doing okay, but sometimes this 5'4" body can't contain it's opinion.

I regret things in the morning, then I do them again.

I fail. I learn. I try again.

Dear Los Angeles...With Love,

After packing two oversized suitcases and two carryons with all the boho chic clothes I thought I needed to travel across the country for my dream internship, I quickly realized that although I may look like I belong out in the entertainment capital of the world there was a lot more to it than Free People dresses and fanny packs.

Dear Los Angeles...With Love,
September: Los Angeles

Ever since I was younger I dreamed of moving out to California. There was something so amusing about being in the hub of it all that bursts with passion and artistry wherever you look. After a trip to LA when I was a sophomore in high school for dance, I fell even more in love with this utopia of a city and from that moment on, Los Angeles was that light at the end of the tunnel.
