I feel like all I do is go to school in the morning then go to my job and stay up late finishing my homework. I am a very social human being it is very frustrating having many responsibilities and following the same schedule everyday. I really hope it is very different when I finish school because this life that I am living in the present it is pretty boring. But in general I can not really complain about anything other than that.
I am a healthy young kid living in a great country full of opportunities. Even though I am very bored and feel like I am living a dull life right now it will be worth it at the end of my college career. I have to stay focused and not give up on my goals in life. I am going to have to sacrifice a lot of things so I can stay on the right track. Once I am done with college I can travel the world like I have always wanted to. As a nurse I will have the opportunity to work any where in the world and help many lives while getting paid to do it, so I guess I can put up with a little bit of board for now. =}
When I stop, I notice
many things that people don't notice
like how many peoples voices are noteless
how they follow the hottest trends
even though their soulless and bent
I notice that everyones trying to get rich
but to lazy to pick up a cent
i guess their to good for copper
but will go after a peice a paper with a dead president
i notice how many people have arguments
even though their life is a timed event
I notice and thank god how im always happy
even though most of my lifes been a bit crappy
i notice how poeple live their lives in a rush
would they slow down if they know that someday
they will all roll over and turn into lumps of dust
I notice how life is so crazy
that everything and everyone
might change up daily
when i stop and notice
i hope i notice how to fully live my life
and make the best of it before im not alive
Good post.
ReplyDeleteI like that you're being honest with your frustrations. It sounds very typical of people your age. I felt the same way for years. I still get stuck in patterns. Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in a 5 mile bubble - and I gotta get out!
It's good to write this stuff down... get it out. And by the end of your free write, it was great to see that you could come back to the ultimate goal. That this time, in school right now, is just a temporary sacrifice (seemingly) for the greater goal of becoming a nurse and traveling the world. That sounds like a great goal.
Your poem is good, too. Another channel to get our some frustrations. I'd like you to try and expand it a little. It's a little too short. Go for it. Let it open up. Make your poem a a free write experiment, too. Write a lot, then go back and edit out the stuff that doesn't fit. Give it a try.
