Location: Greensboro, North Carolina, United States

My name is Samantha and I am a 22 year old college first year senior at UNCG trying to figure out life as I type this. I am very involved in activism for LGBT rights, women's rights, human rights in general. I enjoy intellectual and political discussion, movies, music, reading, meeting new people, writing poetry and newspaper articles, and the lifelong acquistion of knowledge in and outside the classroom.

Forever the Snow

I try so hard to be strong
But I fall on my knees
My feet along this track
The world on my back
How can the weak survive
Will I ever be alive

I try so hard to breathe
But this life suffocates me
My hands turn the pages
The excitement of love has faded
How can the weak survive
Will I ever be alive

I try so hard to smile
But I can only see happiness-
For a short while
My eyes dart across the room
Scanning the crowd
I lose interest too fast, too soon
How can the weak survive
Will I ever be alive

I try so hard to love
But my heart I can't forsake
My eyes, all a while, never dry
This sea of blue has hit a new low
How can the weak survive
Will I ever be alive

How can the weak survive
With our constant pain
That forever reigns in our hearts
I cannot foresee what I don't know
This is my winter, forever the snow
