A Poem Of Abuse

Without your love to make her whole, she seeks the sympathies of anyone else. She wears her heart upon her sleeve. She will never know what she is worth.

A Poem Of Abuse
PicJumbo

It hurts to see her mouth battered and blue.
Have you punished her for denying your lie?
Is her independence too much for you?
Will you forgive me if I start to cry?
- Forget it.
I don’t need your forgiveness like she does.

She stumbles and your lips curl.
She clutches her red cheek, and you sneer,
while her blue tears turn the mark purple.
Funny. Purple is a royal tier,
But it is not you who wears the mark, is it?
Maybe you did once,
Do you think this forgives your monstrous actions?

She stares at you,
blue eyes welling with Terror.
Your throbbing veins swell blue
in Rage and Displeasure.
You say God is Love -
Is this what you call God’s Love?
I wonder if this something that God could forgive.

Her heart is beautiful and beloved,
but you turn it away.
I fear her blue eyes will fall dead
She insists that she is okay,
but I watch her light slip little by little.
This is something I won’t forgive.

May the Love you preach save your wretched soul.
She sees no value for herself.
Without your love to make her whole,
she seeks the sympathies of anyone else.
She wears her heart upon her sleeve.
She will never know what she is worth.
How she can forgive you, I’ll never know.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
