If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

3 poems·Since July 2013

I'm a college student & I'm majoring in English with a minor in theater. I have a profound passion for all things of our intricate written language that we call literature.

Savior Complex

July 19, 2013

The mind is never a wasteland

And even without a helping hand

The ultimate defense is to withstand

And for happiness to be a demand.

This is the youth of our nation

Eagerly seeking salvation

Depression becomes their damnation

And their emotions lack vocation.

Is love truly all you need? 

If so, then love for you I do concede.

Next time before you bleed,

Accept my love as your creed.
