bad nights

I often long
for that home
out west
and the familiar bed
where I slept heavy
I often long
for those friends
I grew to love
they broke me down
over time
I often long
for my mother's words
her constant nagging
to be better
like she knew
I could
I often long
to fall asleep
in the sweet embrace
of the afternoon sun

Good Opportunities

Friday I have to go to my new Internship, actually, my first internship ever. I'm excited. This is a step in the right direction for trying to lead a more successful life. Finally I'll feel like I'm doing something that is going to progress my life, instead of doing a job that makes it feel like a stand still. People tell me that since I'm going to school I'm not wasting anytime. I look at is as: If i'm not taking advantages of the opportunities of my university or doing everything in my power to go out and find an internship then there is no point. I always end up working at jobs where people who have graduated from GOOD schools, settle for a job as a waitress, or barista. Why? I would NEVER let myself do that. Sure, it may be for a little while until I find something better, but that is what EVERYONE says. Then they end up working the same meaningless job for years because it's quick money or they become too comfortable. This is going to be a good satisfying Friday. (Even if I wont get paid for a month or two...)
