Poem For A Fading Love

In the beginning I was chasing The Dragon,
Now The Dragon chases me.
My heart is heavy,
I can barely see.

I feel so weak,
It's become impossible to stand on my own two feet.

I'm feeling empty,
But I just ate.
There's only one thing left on my plate.

My mind is flooded with all the things we once said.
None of it's in my heart,
But it's in my head.

I somehow feel I am lost,
Inside the house I lived my whole life.
The house where my mother was once a wife.

My stomach is turning,
I cannot move.
I would do anything to see you walk in this room.

I held you so close you could never see,
the damage you've done to you,
and the damage you've done to me.

Break my heart,
then hold my hand.
Here we are playing in the same old band.

You play the husband,
And I play the wife.
I have never been this sad in my whole life.

I love you my dear,
But you cannot hear.
my silent screams,
or my broken dreams.

You hit me hard.
Without ever touching me.

There is nothing left to do,
Nothing left to say,
And nothing left to see.

Can you believe how badly you hurt 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.
