A Poem For The Girl Who Struggles To See Her Self Worth

You see her standing there across your way,

And to yourself you begin to say,

Gosh she's perfect, her life seems so great.

Could I be like her, or is it too late?

You stare and you stare, in great disbelief

That a smile so bright could be hiding such grief.

You say no way, not her, she's got it all!

She's pretty, she's funny and she walks so tall.

You fail to come up with something she lacks,

but little do you know when she's alone, her mind attacks .

She lies in her bed, tears running down her face,

each one seeming as if it is some sort of race.

She tries to hold it in, and make her cries silent,

As her mind slowly becomes more and more violent.

She continues to wonder what it is she's doing wrong,

For it was her confidence that was missing all along.

You know it's her confidence that's lacking, for when she looks in the mirror,

she's blind to her blessings, if only she could see clearer.

Constantly worrying and wanting to change,

She wonders why only she is feeling so strange.

She carries on with her life, hiding her struggles,

Wondering why no one else has any of these troubles.

She wonders why me? What did I do,

God answers "look around darling, it's not only you.

You all do nothing but put yourselves down,

and after all of my hard work, seeing that leaves me with nothing but a frown.

For in my eyes I have created a masterpiece, so wonderful and unique,

But everyone wants to change something about their physique.

Open your eyes darling, stop putting yourself down,

Instead treat yourself as royalty, and put on your crown.

In all of your troubles, realize that you are not alone,

and the next time you see a beautiful girl busy on her phone,

Don't wish your life was like hers, something new,

Because darling, that beautiful girl is YOU. "

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.
