The Universe: A Visual Poem

You are more than what meets the eye.

Here is the text of the poem:

A blissful endless hide and seek
In ghostlike shells we slide and creep
From one truth that will set us free
The cage is in your mind – you see?

The arms where you feel chains are bare
No clamps or locks will be found there
And if you wake, oh what a scare
Floating, weightless – full of air!

You’re free my dear, waste no more time
Now you’re a seer, don’t close your eyes
Add wood and fan the flame, the fire
Ever deeper – ever higher

Back and forth, the world ever sways
It never sleeps, it never lays
So darling, dearest, let all go
Release, relax – enjoy the show

Might be a blessing, or a curse…
My love, we are the Universe.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
