Save Me From Mysel-Poetry on Odyssey

We stopped looking up to heroes, when we became villains

No longer reflections of who we were as children

Save me from myself

I need you to

Save me from myself

I need you to

Save me from myself

I need you to

Save me from myself

I need you to

We stopped looking up to heroes, when we became villains

No longer reflections of who we were as children

Letting the drugs and alcohol control our minds

We don't live for the future, we live for the night

Give me a different story then what is on the front page

One kid getting shot another one blows out his brains

Then everybody posts a picture acting like they care

Before they gave up on the world tell me who the hell was there

We don't show love till they ain't alive to see it

Lost so many lives, and for what reason

I would rather see my flowers now then laid on my grave

Write for a better tomorrow but what more can I say

It hurts knowing people hate the life they live

Afraid to be themselves, within their own skin

So they leave behind their flesh and ascend in the sky

Rest in peace to the angels who still get asked why

Save me from myself

I need you to

Save me from myself

I need you to

Save me from myself

I need you to

Save me from myself

I need you to

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.
