Nothing At All

Have you ever felt like you were nothing at all?

26
Nothing At All
Tony Webster

I left my life behind

Sealed my lips and vowed to never speak again

And who did I think would care

I built these walls

Made from tears and fears but I don't remember when

Why do they all stare

And I ran so far away

They chased me all the way to worlds end

I tried to keep quiet

But screams broke the silence

And God was real why does hand feel like broken promises

I dreamt of better days but that was then

Now I feel nothing at all

My mother cried from the top of hill and through the trees

With monsters grabbing my heel

I ran and ran from nothing at all

The world took my only friend

Took her soul and left her in my weakened arms

And they never said things get easier

I looked back at the heavens

I cried and I cried

But I heard nothing at all

I was stuck in the dark

The things how they haunt and they taunt me

Took my eyes but somehow I saw

Oh I hate them I saw them I know that they saw me too

I wanted to be rescued

I wanted to feel safe

But instead I felt nothing at all

Again if God is real

Please come and save me

I am broke

And I am weak

These words overflow

The cries of a father,

This voice none the wiser

But nothing comes out

I learned my place again

So I'll say nothing at all

As you all do nothing at all

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.
