I know Lady Death.

We have met before

In battle, in war,

She has been a kind ally.

Time after Time

My weapon was hers.

Though, I may have angered her

For she took him

He didn’t want to go willingly

He wasn’t supposed to die.

But now it was just me

Then again, it wasn’t.

Maybe that’s what set her sights

On me.

Despite being surrounded by death

I carried life as if I were it’s master

So next, I must go.

It isn’t hard to know,

Harder to realize it more.

My death was going to be nothing to the world

My life, maybe, but it’s hard to tell.

There will be those who praise my life

They will never know

What happen, who was there,

They will never know them like I do.

My death came in pains, in draining aches

Wave after wave of gods awful pains.

People told me that birth was like a battle

Now, this was more like a war, and I knew war.

My body was failing me, and I knew it.

She was taking me to her.

A pale cold mother welcoming me with open arms.

And I went.

I leave behind a legacy.

Legacy of love and freedom.

I leave behind my love, the last of my family.

My Son, I leave you now, but know that I love you.

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.
