Poetry on Odyssey: Fantasize

"Let's justify our actions, quit foreboding."

Here is a short poem and my general view of our world today. The focus of the poem is to say that our current reality is far from the wanted "fantasy."


What if there were a world with no commotion?

And what if there were no such thing as fear?

Let me make one thing clear:

There cannot be sadness or racket.

For those are the rules, no exceptions.

Where will we ever be able to find such a place on this planet?

The problems lie in our own depth perceptions.

This society will never be familiar to me.

Maybe someday instead of beating each other,

We will act like we are part of one another.

Or maybe when hope is needed,

Tears vanish and we finally feel completed.

But not just as an individual, but

Together, as one person.

At least, isn't that the goal?

We're not determined,

But even so,

How can we even change what's already been broken?

It's not impossible but difficult

To release all the faults we've been holding.

But if we did, that means success, not just a miracle.

Let's justify our actions, quit foreboding

As if there's no chance or too difficult

To fix, but instead, keep going.

There's no acting as if all of this is opposite from reality

Because this world is known as a fantasy.

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.
