Blank Page Poems
The Guardian

The blank page watches the writer pace back and forth. The writer is frustrated. The realms which he imagined are stuck in a region between the brain that invents them and the hand that illustrates them. The blank page is bored. The blank page wishes that the writer would write. The writer sits there with inspiration as vacant as warmth in a blizzard. The blank page cannot tell if the writer is depressed or angry. His face has wrinkles of frustration all over it. The writer’s eyes are now closed. The writer has entered a trance which the creative mind is originating new ideas.

The blank page is motionless on the table. The blank page does not want to be blank. There are so many pages without black ink decorating them. The blank page does not want to one of the countless pieces of paper forgotten in a drawer. It wants language to organize itself on them in an unique manner. No one cares about a blank page. It is the pages which have words with beauty and brilliance that are given attention. The blank page wants to be given attention. The writer can give the blank page what it most desires by writing on it. Though currently, the writer cannot write. It is not that the writer does not have the story formulated. It is that the writer does not have the words to illustrate the story.

The writer begins to pace back and forth. The blank page can see the frustration is building up. The pacing increases as the frustration build up more and more. Then the writer stops suddenly, going from swift motions to stationary in a mere second. The writer’s face portrays a rationalization of perplexing thoughts. Maybe the writer can begin to make the blank page unique now. The blank page hopes that is the case. The writer takes a pen and begins to write on other blank pages. The blank page is now jealous. The writer was supposed to make them special! The writer works as if possessed by the spirit of William Shakespeare. The blank page is now furious. It deserves to be made special! The writer is finished. Maybe he will make it special! The writer walks over to the blank page. He begins to write on it. He writes one of the most lovely poems which ink has ever inscribed onto paper.

She

She walks with elegance as others run with awkwardness

She not a woman but the woman

She the royal warrior

She the powerful scholar

She a reminder of the wonderful novelties of life

She a reason to avoid the grip of death

She whose skin reflects the gleam of an angel’s halo which touched by light

She my better

She who transcends me

She my beautiful defeat

She my love

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.
