Poetry On Odyssey: A Collection Of Thoughts I Never Thought I'd Share

It was those days I lived for- physically, stayed alive for.

It was those days I lived for-

physically, stayed alive for.

I never knew

when they would come, or what time they'd go-

but every once in a while

they did come.

and every once in a while

I felt.

I felt real and driven

and oriented again -

back into one-piece.

my mind was clear,

my heart was happy,

and my soul was free.

She knew where to go,

but she was intuitively scared.

& she craved to be free with a thirst for independence, that was needing to be quenched.

Where was she supposed to walk?

With the crowd, or by herself?

She didn't want to go first, or even last, or even at all.

She was scared.

She was alone.

She always was stuck in the grey areas of the world

Consequentially, she was lost in the dark,

grey fog, which soon became her life.

It didn't seem fair that she couldn't remember what the feeling of happiness truly felt like.

I wasted my breath-

screaming,

when nobody was listening.

Now I've lost it-

I'm done

and

I'm gone.

Now I'm done.

Now I'm gone.

& now that they're listening,

I'm unable to speak.

Not only have you

destroyed the faith

I put into you,

but you eliminated

any chance

of me trusting anyone else again.

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.
