Hey, I'll check those "new" poems you have out!
I say "new" because I'm sure that was from a few weeks ago, and I haven't been on. I'm grounded, so I don't have my laptop.
Life's speed for me has more to do with the fact that I don't really care much one way or another, so it's just moving, moving, leaving me behind. If only it were literally true, I could stay a kid forever....
I would have taken the poem in a completely different way if you hadn't said that... ice, to me, is hatred, because I have yet to see how it is a burning flame. It is fire, perhaps... but I've always seen it as the cold one. But I digress.
If you love the cold, or if you can view it as a positive thing, the poem does not seem nearly as dark as I first viewed it. If you love it, if you would let it shield you, fine. But.... do not lose yourself in it. Do not make your walls so thick that nothing can penetrate. You might start to seal yourself from hatred, but there are shadows that will creep through your ice.
**Sigh** I suppose life problems can never be easy, hm? That's what makes them problems. But rarely are they dilemmas - without a solution.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that all I really can say is "I'm sorry." Which is unhelpful, I know.
I have not been presented by college-related crap yet, so I have no idea what I can say in that regard other than "I'm sorry, that sucks." I'm not taking AP Physics... but may I ask what makes it difficult, or basically why you are failing? **clinging to the naive hope that I might actually be able to do something useful**
Anything to say regarding the situation with your girlfriend is not something I know. The realm of dating is not one I am aware of... so I don't know what to say, other than what I said before - "I'm sorry."
And yes, I realize that this is exceedingly unhelpful.
With regards to your sibling? I can understand that. I don't exactly get along particularly well with my sisters. Better than some people, for sure. But I don't really regard them as family... more like friends. It takes a lot for me to regard someone as family, and being related by blood is not one of the criteria...
Off topic there, sorry.
Yes, constant disagreement is understandably unhelpful. It is an annoyance and, adding that onto your other current trials, potentially unbearable.
Writing poetry is an excellent way to vent stress, as I'm sure you know - that's what you've been doing. Stress, sadness, anger... they are all great muses, and, as odd as this sounds, you may miss them when they are gone. Or maybe that's just my oddity.
I cannot mentally stimulate your situation... and thus am mostly incapable of offering empathy. Sympathy is fairly low on the scale... but it is above pity, I suppose.
So I offer sympathy, and hope that things improve for you...
Figured I'd ask, since I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to have started thinking about that by now.....
