Feeling Alone

You cannot be bound.

Feeling Alone
Daily SMS Collection

Slipping, sliding

Falling down

Tumbling all around

Groping, gasping

Begging for air

Fingers tangled together

Ripping, pulling

Breaking my hair

Crawling, reaching

Kneeling down

Pushing, pressing

Weighing, holding

Me down

Squeezing, crushing

Breaking my chest

This rib cage is

Only a vest

Which has been

Cinched to the point

Of complete unrest

Rolling off of me

My skin slids

Off my body

Exposed, naked

Bare — Completely

Unaware of

What the Hell is

Wrong with me

Why can I not

Get any air

Oxygen absent

Nothing is here

Crying, shaking

Shuddering, searching

For help

But there is none

Not in this Hell

Tormented, tricked

I’m shutting down

Soon enough my

Eyes fall out

Blind to reality

You cannot be

Bound

To anything which

You cannot see

Me

You are only

Stuck in this

Dream which comes

In waves slowly

Gently, calmly

Chasing, licking

At your heels

Running, stumbling

Tripping about your

Own mistakes

Flying, soaring

Sky bound

There are no limits

In this life which

You have found

Without your eyes

You see the colors

Bright, blinding

Lights

Searing, scorching

Burning you down

Falling like ashes

Down to the

Ground you’re

Flailing, thrashing

Flapping about

But now these

Arms have given up

You cannot be

Bound

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
