Poetry On Odyssey: New Phases

You were the rainbow after the storm.

Couldn’t ever see the light in someone else’s scares,

Hangin like a shadow he can never figure out who or what he wants to be.

Dragged me through the mud after every word you would speak,

I came out bruised but still unable to defeat,

Blood drips from my lips and decorates my clothes but he never noticed.

I knew I couldn’t take anymore from him but I wanted to taste the pain he hid away,

To see a world kept in the dark,

But he turned out to not be that deep,

A cheap knock off really but not many can see.

He couldn’t see me as an equal of an intelligence,

Told me my thoughts and ideas were insane,

Yet he could not see the mistake he would soon make,

A relationship based only on the sensation of touch and dry conversation,

No connection just led to some sick depression.

Then I met you

Someone who can see the beauty behind my eyes,

A soul who feels like sunshine and has a voice as soft as a gentle rain,

As delicate and gentle as a flower,

Yet as strong and beautiful as a tree.

Let me get lost in your eyes,

And drown in your ocean,

I want to taste the bitter and the sweet on your tongue,

To be so close I can feel the blood pump through your veins,

And to explore the galaxy that is your mind.

Take my hand and dance with me in the moonlight,

I want to be your dark and your light.

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.
