Weather the Storm

I made a promise to myself, no matter how much I would face in college I would not drop out. Now I realize exactly how much I underestimated this yellow brick road. This is not as easy as high school was. I only have two days of classes and a lot happens in those two days and limited hours. I now find myself missing information on my classes. Its my fault really, I'm blinking trying to take it all in. I've already found myself as the mediocre college student just scraping by. this isn't what I thought would happen. Of course fields of flowers and sunshine isn't in the weather forecast either.

My life seems to be falling apart at the seams. I can't hold myself upright anymore, my hands are slipping along the wet rails of this ship fighting a storm in the middle of the ocean. Theres no clear daylight in sight. When will these clouds begin to fade? My lungs have been taking on so much salt water its hard to breathe. Gasping and shaking I can feel all resolve falling apart ripping down my bones.

Nothing is ever easy and yet the things that are meant to be the hardest are easiest to deal with. Life is full of surprises at every turn both good and bad and all that we can do is hold our head up high.
