How you Doing?

How You Doing?
By Kristyna Cochran

Doom, Doom, Doom I say,
doomed since the thought of me arise,
afflicted by redundant catastrophes,
I pull from my innermost strength,
stumble through adversity
cursed before the parents of my parents became a speck
of a thought in their parents cerebrum,
Through the institutionalized and systematic injustices that anchor
the country we call "home",
Despite consistent reverence in what is good and true,
exemplified in speech, thought and actions,
Misfortunes are now merely expected,
Do I overdramatize the expected with unhealthy, futile emotions?
Or do you just invalidate my thoughts and feelings
with irrelevant cliché's,
A wreck of scrambled thoughts,
Yet I smile...
Because no one truly wants to know,
"How you doing,"
Just a friendly, cordial greeting,
with lack of true meaning.

I had diarrhea where I ran to the bathroom frequently, headaches, hot and cold flashes, and most of all I vomited to the point where it was just bile coming up.

My mood swings were/are sometimes dangerous.  I remember dreading my period coming up because of how it made me feel; still to this day I usually have the same feeling. My period warranted me the option of staying home from school on the

My Journey...... So far..............

     When I graduated high school May 31, 2005. I enjoyed my summer. Then about August 25 I went down to Montgomery, Alabama to attend Alabama State University. While at Alabama State University I made friends and memories that will last with me for a life time.       Around the end of my sophomore year nearing spring break a representative from Walt Disney World college program came to our school. My best friends and I attended the presentation after we preregistered for our Fall 2007 classes. After we attended the presentation, we were invited to an interview. I went to my interview and the representative asked me to come and become an intern at Walt Disney World. I temporarily accepted the position. I called my mother excited as ever. I asked her do she think it would be a good idea if I went. She told me it was an opportunity of a lifetime and how could I even be thinking about it. I thought I would have to be take some time out of school, but she said I never been why not go for
