Poetry On Odyssey: Festive Friday

When the start to the weekend feels like the end already.

Poetry On Odyssey: Festive Friday

End of the week, start of the fun

Start of relaxation, ‘til the stress returns Mon

Alarm wakes me up, I peep out the window, squint at the sun

And just tell myself to deal with it, this week’s done in one


Shower, shave, succumb to the sleeplessness

Pour cold water in my face and wonder what week this is

Got nothing major today, and can thankfully say

It should turn out to be a pretty smooth day


But I walk out the door, with the heat on my ass

Run in a packed bus like are these kids going to class?

No seat, standing, waiting to get out and walk to the train

Knowing damn well once I’m at the station, the waiting's the same


Fast forward, I’m late, say “I’m breaking the habit”

My boss stares, wondering if she should let me have it

Walks away, giving me a pass on a platter

Probably thinking “it doesn’t even matter”


I head to supervise staff, make a left then a right

Stop for a second and see something ain’t right

A kid, complaining to a staff about how he can do what he wants cause it’s his right

So I set him straight as the staff tells me he was “handling it” …right


Head back to the office and start doing work

Emails and such, while the AC doesn’t work

I melt away in my chair, trying not to go berserk

‘til I peep the time, and clock out with a smirk


Q66, F train and off to the gym

Work a sweat, walk out in the heat, Q38's here? Don't mind if I hop in

Head home and plan the night because, I need to have fun

No offense to my coworkers, but over there I have none


The night is set and I’m ready to go

Happy hour invite, I’m ready to show

Train did me right, by not going slow

Walk to the bouncer, whip out my wallet… NO


Forgot my ID, and I know they’re going to need it

I look young as hell, so people would wonder why they’re letting a teen in

I'm not gonna beg, if I can't get in, so be it

What a start and what an end, they’re all having fun in there, and Snapchat’s where I’ll see it

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.
