Like I keep injecting myself

So temporary

That feeling of freedom

But then i am liberated

 

Freed from my own mind

The voices don’t yell in my head

anymore

 

Then it wears off,

The typewriters don’t click

And the feeling comes again

It washes over me

 

It drowns me.

 

Struggling for air

I reach for oxygen

For anything

 

And suddenly

Although it’s blurry

I see someone else in these waters

 

I grab a hand

It holds mine

suddenly

I lie above the water

 

Never more alive.

Hey I'm Abi, a Biology major minoring in English. In my free time I love to write and take photos, especially portraits.

Oxford Emory

My name is Jackie Doctor, and I'm a sophomore at the Oxford College of Emory University. I'm an Anthropology and Biology major on a pre-med track. I'm interested in pursuing a profession in Allied Health. I'm a huge fan of Game of Thrones, Parks and Rec, and Bob's Burgers, and I read, write, and play the ukelele in my spare time.
