A Broken Masterpiece

I see someone more than myself.

She’s beautiful, she’s fun.

I look at the girl beneath my skin.

Who she used to be was amazing.

Pain crumbles her soul, but no one sees.

She acts out, she tells her wounds.

No one cares and they are very aware.

Too caught up in their own, she sits and cries.

She is pouring out for love, pouring out for hope.

Just to be left all alone.

One day the girl wants to be able to see.

She wants to be who she used to be.

All these thoughts in her head.

The thoughts stay around for awhile.

What do I do, how will I survive, will this get better?

I look up at the sky and ask why.

I must be surrounded always.

If not I start to wonder again, and who knows where my mind will go.

Very broken, the type of broken that can’t be fixed.

The type you live with, piece by piece.

Maybe I was meant to be broken.

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.
