Not a content replicator,
But when I was younger I wanted nothing more than to fit in.

That people liked me more when I was different.
An isolated graveyard
only death to keep his guard
willow trees rustle and moan
grieving for decaying bone
spirits hiding in the mist
just the souls of the pain-kissed
hiding behind name-carved stone
My heart is beating faster than normal.
Perhaps it’s the coffee or all this anticipation.
On edge and full of emotion.
An agonizing wait as today is the day.
The day that could change.

I saw these words with my eyes but my heart was still rejected

Until I can no longer hear the thud
Of the slowly dying heart from within.

The darkness stabs as a dull ballpoint knife,
Until I can no longer hear the thud
Of the slowly dying heart from within.
Everything about college is a process.
It can be difficult at times.
And even more difficult at other times.
The choices and decisions are endless.
The thought alone of it can make your head explode.
My heart beats at twice the pace
Than the beat my feet take down the staircase
And the walk to those exit doors seems like a chase
A long awaited race to my fate
