Poetry On Odyssey: Hold Me

In This Article:

Hold me and tell me it'll be alright.

Promise me the pain won't be forever.

I'm sorry for the things I feel inside.

A person like you deserves so much better.


I wish I could be as strong as you.

Believe in myself the way you do.

I feel like heaven is calling me.

That angel's song is so heavenly.


I don't really wanna live life like this.

I can't survive another night like this.

Cuts in my wrist, pain in my veins...

Bullets in clip, one shot through my brain.


And after I'm gone keep the tears to yourself.

My life was for family and friends––no one else.

I don't want your fake flowers, fake tears, and fake love.

Talking 'bout me like you knew who I was.


How could you let time pass you by?


Guess that's my situation.

What if I gave you a better life?

Take suicide off your brain dear, maybe?

Held you and told you it'll be alright.


Promised you the pain wouldn't be forever.

I'm sorry for the things you feel inside.

A person like you deserves so much better.

I wish I knew why you did what you did.


How can you take your own life you were only a kid?

Guess life is a lot easier when you stop breathing.

But it makes it harder for the people you end up leaving.

Pain's temporary kid, happiness is immortal.


We've all felt like giving up, the feeling is normal.

I wish I could've told you all the things you'd accomplish.

All the people that didn't believe you, how you'll leave them astonished.

All the weed and pills man, you above all that.


I know they make you feel happy but you'll never adapt.

The emptiness inside could never be filled with prescription.

All them nights you felt alone cause the love you wanted was missing.

Can't promise you it gets better; I don't know myself.


The only advice I can give you is to love yourself.

I can't blame you, depression can win when you feed her.

If I didn't have you, I wouldn't be here either.


Hold me and tell me it'll be alright.

Promise me the pain won't be forever.

I'm sorry for the things I feel inside.

I could never be what you wanted for me.

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.
