POETRY Another Breakdown A focus on mental illness It's hard when you're always lying, Always hiding the way you feel. Losing your sight on truthful words, Forgetting what is real. It's hard when you forget to laugh And you're scared that someone might see. Hoping no one saw your face, As you struggle to remember how to breathe. It's hard to pretend you're happy, And you're terrified someone might ask. It's becoming harder every day; It's becoming quite a task.
But there's not even enough to speak. Your hands remain unsteady, And your heart pounds like a drum, And even though you can barely walk, You fight the urge to run. You scream as the world starts spinning, And your knees drop straight to the ground. You realize in that moment You're just having another breakdown.
You feel when your body shakes, As it searches for something to hold. Though the temperature feels hot, Your heart and mind feel cold. Your throat feels like it's closing, And your legs feel like they're weak. You try your hardest to grasp a breath,

Feature Story The Dangers Of Vaping Unknown health effects: The long-term health consequences of vaping are not known. Recent studies report serious lung damage in people who vape, and even some deaths. Addiction: Addiction in the growing brain may set up pathways for later addiction to other substances. Brain risks: Nicotine affects your brain development. This can make it harder to learn and concentrate. Some of the brain changes are permanent and can affect your mood and ability to control your impulses as an adult. Use of other tobacco products: Studies show that vaping makes it more likely that someone will try other tobacco products, like regular cigarettes, cigars, hookahs, and smokeless tobacco. Poisons: The vapor made from e-cigarettes is not made of water. The vapor contains harmful chemicals and very fine particles that are inhaled into the lungs and exhaled into the environment. Sports: You want to do your best in sports, and vaping may lead to lung inflammation (irritation). Money: Vaping is expensive! The cost of the cartridges over time starts to add up. Instead, you could spend that money on other things you need or enjoy.
