Beach Poetry

I recently went to the beach with my roommates and whenever I get into nature I find myself being overly sentimental, especially at the beach. While I was there I thought up a few poems and even now I'm thinking back on how I felt while I was in those moments. I'd like to share a few of them with whoever's reading. Please enjoy them!


Rays of sun hit your skin in a million sparkling beams
Smiles so bright your eyes hurt
Waves travel at the speed of sound
I think of you in my loneliest times


Introspection is my worst enemy
as I stare into the cloudless sky
a melody only for you
makes the world go swinging


Laughter is contagious
yet I'm immune to the disease
Lemonade splashing the blue horizon
and toes curling in the sand


I think of you on a lonely towel
Surrounded by many
yet always alone


Sharks are people too
I think to myself as teeth pierce skin
Blood is the wine of gods
I wonder if it's a sin


Calling my name as if it's taboo
ignoring soft pleas and tender smiles
I won't go


My sunglasses block out my cares
You shield your eyes with your hand
Do you feel vulnerable now?


When I take you there I wonder if you feel like me
Do you feel like me?
Do you see what I see?
I ask myself as I watch your back fade into the distance


It's too deep,
too blue,
sometimes it's too cold,
I promise I won't be going there soon


I think too much when I'm alone
when the waves are too loud
when I can't even hear myself think
I always know you're there


Sweat is dripping down my spine
like a cool drink on a hot day
Fanning myself does me no good
if I'm burning from the inside out


Running even when my legs are too tired Sand is an obstacle yet it dips away as my feet sink in How curious life is

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
