She & I: A Poem

A poem about falling in and out of love.

She & I: A Poem

It's getting so dark I can barely see

Maybe that's how it's supposed to be

Sweet little nothings whispered to me

They don't hold any validity

Had me feeling so insecure

The heavy heart is an absent cure

It's become so hollow this part of me

Maybe that's how it's supposed to be


What's today if you've slipped away

The heart of hearts is broken apart

Tomorrows just a shame if you're away

You'd rather see me fallen apart


Woman Drowning Christopher Campbell


Sometimes I wish to cut myself on glass

Maybe then you'll finally pass

In my reach is something wonderful

But I'm afraid to be the fool

Tangled up in blue, what can I do

I believe I can fall in love with you

Easy mistakes are the ones that come true

Maybe you feel the same way too


What's time if you aren't mine

It felt so fake, even from the start

I have you now, but it feels like borrowed time

Cast your burden right from the start


Man Drowning Carlos Domínguez

It's getting so dark this little light of mine

Maybe she snuffed it out, made me blind

Temptation hides between her thighs

And in her eyes a thousand other lies

These violent delights have violent ends

Foolishly I believed we made amends

Reluctantly letting the right one in

Maybe we're not meant to win


What's yesterday, but a day too far away

Each goodbye seems to be the last

Each minute here is another minute away

When can I love you at last?


The Ocean Alex Perez

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.
