Poetry On Odyssey: Living In Outer Space

We are seeing stars.

Poetry On Odyssey: Living In Outer Space

I have been time traveling.

Do they call it time travel if you're still stuck in the past?

I mean I haven't been in the present.

I have worked on building a city.

Lights twisted through the vines.

Setting my city on fire.

With an energy brighter than the stars,

Sometimes the meteorites like to destroy us at night.

An explosion of betrayal written across the sky.

Music blaring in the streets.

Making traffic lights beam.

These are the warning signs.

When my cheekbones glisten rainbows.

Each color is a different path home.

Oranges and yellows

Burn in the city's mind.

I really have tried.

Sharing this ride makes me want to get high.

French inhaling the future.

As I dance across the skyline.

A dance number back to my safe haven.

Here in my room is the universe.

Big and bright.

The door open to all the possibilities.

Music blares like the The Big Bang.

I lose myself in this vast space.

When I jump on my bed I can reach the stars.

I grasp on to all the positive energy

That dances in the air.

The clock ticks at 1:11,

A reminder of the light I am grateful for

The strong breeze blows through the window

I can hear the animals sing love songs to the sunrise.

Astrologers footprints on the welcome mat.

They traveled through this galaxy before.

Warm compliments bounce off the solar systems,

painted on the walls.

The moon's glow beams off the mirror

We can see the stars speed across the sky

We lye down on the soft milky way carpet.

Where we share our wishes in between passes

of a trip to outer space.

Astrologers footprints on the exit mat.

They traveled galaxies to get home.

And I stayed a constellation in my room.

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.
