Collateral Damage Is Real

Lose this Battle so we can win this war.

Collateral Damage

Lose this battle so we can win this war,

But, who is there when the victims are left sore?

Their hearts left numb.

From the things you have done

You TERRORIST!

Oh! The events you have caused

Drove that innocent to slicing their wrists,

You made them forget about that crucifix.

They thought their lives were too damaged to be fixed!

Ohhh, The lives that it will soon impact.

No! Now they cannot look back.

Look back to the past and witness what they had,

Was not as bad.

You took away their memories and their heritage,

But for what advantage?

They are left with this false sense of helplessness,

So, as their heads are bent towards the ground,

And the people from all around town,

Are looking hopeless.

You now have altered their focus.

They have focused their resentment towards you,

Now what are you going to do?

What are you going to do when the masses collectively protest?

You thought you won,

But I guarantee once they make that pact

They will never look back!

All the lives they will change,

Will cause your diminishing existence to deplete

Your acts against them will soon become obsolete!

Never forgotten nor forgiven.

Society will fall.

Lives will forever change.

Existence as we know it will never be the same.

That loss they took,

I guarantee,

Will never make nor break

They live beyond your meniscal influence

So, they will lose this ONE battle to win the war.

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.
