Don’t think any harder.

If you think you know me,

please rethink your theory

because your efforts are no good.

I am not meant to be understood.

Predictable is the opposite of what I am.

I am a walking paradox.

Some words may sound odd or straight out of the box,

but take my apologies.

These are my normal abnormalities.

I see what you think

every time you blink.

You may see me once or twice

and make up your mind like a cheap grocery store price.

Before you finalize your decision, 

allow me to cause indecision.

Let me ask you now.

Did you ever ask how?

Did you ever ask why?

Have you seen me cry?

Have you seen me broken?

Do not make assumptions.

Do not make conclusions.

The “me” you see today

will be different from what you saw yesterday.

Louisiana Tech '22

I am fourth year in the doctoral Counseling Psychology program at Louisiana Tech University. I love reading, writing, and cooking. Fun fact: I am a vegan!
As a little girl, I spent hours writing stories. Obviously they weren't exactly bestsellers, but it was my passion nevertheless. I would fill up my notebooks with everything I didn't know how to say out loud, and anything I could imagine. Now, as a college student, I'm chasing my dream one word at a time. I'm currently studying English and Marketing, with the intention of becoming an editor.
