Poetry On Odyssey: Mirror Of The Month

"But you knew with Him, who died and bled, / Whose blood He shed / anything is possible"

Poetry On Odyssey: Mirror Of The Month
Andrew Council

I witness your pain like a jury member

Empathizing for you, December

Your words are cold, November

However, I can’t seem to remember

the times where You actually felt lucky

Not like the four leaf clover

Or it snowing in October

But you simply smiling

Smiling like the First day of September

cause it’s the one day you get to be the center

You clean your mirror, trying to clean your self-reflection

However it can’t get anymore flawless

In August

Where you stepped out in the world, knowing you were the change.

No longer the Jury Member, now I’m the judge

Deciding your fate

Restricting your hate

Stop crying

Saying you’d rather “die than live”

“Julying”

Pick yourself up plaintiff and walk

Walk then run with that sheet of paper that you spent four long years working for.

because where you come from, In June, this only happens every blue moon.

“It May happen” they said.

But you knew with Him, who died and bled,

Whose blood He shed

anything is possible

April showers

Don’t bring flowers

They bring floods

Floods of uncertainty and pain, yet happiness when your mother smiles.

Who you’d March a thousand miles

To see

Just cause it’s February, doesn’t mean you have to be alone

Just cause it’s V-day, and no one is blowing up your phone

You Still smile

Plaintiff, I see through you as I look at you

And just because it’s January and you still have the flu,

I still smile.

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.
