Love Is To Hate

Let us Begin

28
Love Is To Hate
Colin Sullivan

We live in a world to be accepted voiceless,

to stay sheltered from the terrors of differences

The openness of our love and soul is sheltered.


We live in a world where we are too blind.

Too blind to see the truth behind the smile,

the pain that lingers behind the face

that is covered up by the nearest high.


We live in a world where gained acceptance

rots in the hands of the devil.

Our ideas become so twisted and flustered.

It becomes unapparent to see a difference

between the man holding the gun and I.


There is one saying too much to handle.

The power leaks through the voice

of many who no longer fear

the pain of our carried out intent.

Who embellish themselves in knowledge,

who seek to find love in what they have learned

to no longer follow the crowd but to

understand why the steps are so easily repeated.


We take a chance to single ourselves out,

to open the eyes of others,

to share the darkness that hides behind the light.

We are here to teach love in a new way

one that isn't made up of sketched hearts in a note pad.

We are here to teach a new love

a love that is earned and destroyed,

one that no longer holds all the smiling faces,

but drags along the misery we went through.


The world came crashing down,

to fall far from what love we believe in

to establish the people that will fight

to be safe, to bury deep into a satisfaction,

to create the world that is grown from good

A world that is reborn on the floor of love.


We get lost in order to grow further.

We lose ourselves to assemble ourselves.

We fall down to learn to get back up .

We hate to understand the darkness of love.


Let us begin.

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.
