Poetry On Odyssey: A Ghost of Someone

A poem about love and self worth

I still walk down the same road

the same one you and I used to go to,

the one where you gave me your sweater,

where we would hold hands,

and watch the snow fall in December.


I still remember when you looked at me,

and your eyes were looking for her

as I disappeared into the snow,

while you silently wished she were me instead.

Now I can't blame you,

she's so pretty

and an angel,

I would do the same too

if I were you.


When we hang out

I see your eyes watching her as she glides so effortlessly,

and here I am a ghost of someone

who wants your attention,

but all of this wishing won't get me anywhere,

and while I'll admire her from afar,

wanting to be her,

I'll have to sit silently,

cause my soul is not yours,

not even hers.


No matter how much I dream of you,

I'll have to move from you,

leave you be,

and be a ghost in this December weather

letting my soul heal on its own,

let my sore eyes become clear once again,

and learn to embrace the cold weather

like I did before,

and remember the comfort of your sweater,

and know that I won't be a ghost for long,

cause around the corner awaits true love,

one you couldn't give me,

only to her.


While I still walk down our old road,

I don't forget to thank you,

cause without you I wouldn't know exactly what my soul needed,

I never knew that my soul needed a type of closure

that was rarely granted,

and while I patiently wait for divine timing,

I'll continue walking the world as a ghost of someone

who is healing,

of someone who is shining brighter

with the winter moon,

and ready to move on too.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
