Still no internship...
Still no money...
Still no comprehension of Shakespeare...
Still no word from my love thousands of miles away...
Whirling around my brain
Causing sleepless nights
And random crying episodes

And I am grateful
That it's my last difficult semester
That my sister won't make me pay rent this month
That my credit card has only a $10 minimum payment
That my car still starts when it's 10 below zero outside
And that I finally heard back from one of the places I applied

So maybe I'll unwind enough
To start eating regular meals
Without my stomach cramping in fear of what I do not have.

Because the answer isn't what I do not have,
It's what I do have.
And my problem isn't the fault of others
It can be solved by changing my focus

And seeing the positive light in a dark room.
