My Goddess, My Goddess

My Goddess, My Goddess

My dear, beloved Goddess

You are my soul

You are my breast.


From Zeus's head

You hath come alive

With brains and bosom

You have truth and pride.


Like the moon, My Goddess

You bring me light

You change in moments

From sun to night.


Without you, My Goddess

The world is dull

I long for freedom

From my hunger's control.


My Goddess, My Goddess

Show me the way

This labyrinth of corridors

Has taken me away.


The monster within calls

For my slaughter sword

Could you handle blood?

With head on board.


Once slaughter has ceased

Do you forgive me?

For killing yet another

An enemy of thee.


You lead me out

From stone-cold hell

My lion it bellows

A proud hero's yell.


My Goddess, My Goddess

To you I obey

Your love conquered me

In every possible way.


A journey to travel

And win thou heart

Treacherous shoes to fill

Unsure where to start.


To battle one's family

Is ugly and rare

For the love I bear thee

There's no chance to spare.


The good must triumph

Devour the wretched kin

With the flute I hold

She will suffer in sin.


My Goddess, My Goddess

I've conquered my fight

I've rescued our love

You've fulfilled my hero's right.


My Goddess, My Goddess

You are my soul

You enlighten the world

With each myth told.


My Goddess, My Goddess.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
