Poetry On Odyssey: I Know Many People

I know and knew many people, but they sadly never knew me...

Poetry On Odyssey: I Know Many People

This is a poem that I wrote a while ago that I have recently revised. It's special to me because of how all of these "people" changed my life. Each of them has become like a close friend and some even helped me through rough times.

I will never forget and never stop thanking them for all they have done. They shaped me into the person I am today and they always and forever will hold a place in my heart.

I hope you enjoy and can relate in some way.


I Know Many People

I know an alien from time and space.

A River was their closest companion.

They had the ability to change their face

And has suffered things you couldn't imagine.


I know a pair of brothers

And a fallen angel of the Lord.

They dedicate their lives to helping others,

Protecting them iron, salt, and sword.


I know a highly functioning sociopath

He lives on Baker Street

With his friend who suffers war's wrath.

They are the best sleuths you will ever meet.


I know a boy, part mortal, part god

Thrown into a world, a boy among men.

The extent of his powers is very broad.

Defending the world with a transformer pen


As for witches and wizards, I know a bunch.

The Chosen One with a lightning scar,

A red-headed family who don't have much,

And the brightest witch of her age, by far


I know a greedy Scrooge, who is growing old.

He'd lost all he held dearest

And turned his heart cold.

His soul was saved, by three Christmas spirits


I lost a woman who dreamed a dream,

A girl whose love was a personal illusion,

A man who broke parole to be redeemed,

And many who died for the French revolution.


I lost the Half-Blood Prince,

A loving, free house-elf,

One of the joking twins,

And a loyal owl who sacrificed herself


I know and knew many people

But they sadly never knew me

Yet I still think they're all special

For they are fictional, you see

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
