This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at TAMU chapter.

The dam–the one keeping the tears contained–breaks.

I’m sorry that I’m never enough for you

The words are said with a sarcastic edge to bury the pain.

Silence follows.

I’m sorry          

The words are a plea for forgiveness? A taunt meant to mock? What irony hides behind these words.

A breath leaves room for consideration.

But I try

The voice cracks much like their heart.  

 I try and try and TRY

The words are screamed. They hold so much anger and hatred and resentment–

A warm embrace is what they crave. But it will not be given. Instead a wall of ice greets the passionate outburst.

… but I will never be what you want

the unwanted truth is whispered

I will always fall short. 

Howdy! I’m Gabriela Gomez, an avid reader who is interested in all areas of publishing and writing. And reading of course! I’m the Editor-in-Chief; I currently oversee all the publishing of articles for the Her Campus at TAMU chapter. I am overjoyed to read all the members’ articles and make any corrections that will help to elevate the article. I have been with Her Campus at TAMU since my freshman year. The first year I was a general member on the Writing and Editing committee. During that first year, I wrote a total of 23 articles and was always finding new ways to help. For my second year, I worked as the Senior Editor, publishing more than 80 articles and writing 38 articles. Now in my second semester of junior year, I have implemented a new pitch process for better organization and cleanest, I have already published more than 170 articles, and I have written 16 articles and will continue writing more! Besides working as the Editor-in-Chief, I am a dedicated student at Texas A&M studying Biomedical Sciences. I am also obtaining a minor in both English and Spanish. While not studying diligently, I work in a research lab grinding away, trying to get my name on some research papers (fingers crossed). In my free time, I read, obviously. I am also on the hunt for the best latte to ever bless this earth and love a good game of chess!
