Poetry On Odyssey: Butterfly

Often by my lonesome my ideas and inside thoughts take me to a very dark place.

Growth brings knowledge and power, diamonds are made under pressure and butterfly's are preserved in a cocoon, hidden from the world for weeks to unleash a beautiful site to see, vibrant colors, precious and delicate. My point is that some of the worlds most valued, appreciated things overcame and underwent extreme circumstances for the great outcome. Never fail to realize you are just the same.

I'm complicated, a contradiction, slight mystery.
I'm outgoing and have a natural positivity and glow, yet awkward and often feel like I've messed up.

I reiterate everything, in response that no one will understand my sometimes scattered, hypothetical thoughts. I'm a hopeless romantic with the hope that there is still true love. Artistic in many ways and I enjoy the smaller things in life more than the finer things.

I overthink everything and make things complicated because I'm complicated. I'm chess or maybe even scrabble. I take practice and patience.

I'm weird and I'm beginning to learn to love it. I sometimes deal with depression but I always find a way to come back out on top. Not everyone has been so gentle so my trust is fucked, but for some odd reason, I trust you.

I trust that this is more than temporary forevers and lust, that this will linger and eventually whole entirely consume us, in too deep we can't turn away now. When you see me I want you to see no one else, that you could have anyone but there is something so special about me that you're intrigued, invested and attracted more than sex.

When you look me in my eyes understand the tears that have been wept. I hold everything in because of the fear that no one will hear. I realize sometimes I'm near to self-destruction but I seem to always know how to pull it back together.

Outgoing and crazy with maybe too much clarity but my love is so strong like an Anaconda it can kill. Overpowering like spicy lime some like it and some don't. I've learned I'm not for everyone but I still remind myself I'm someone.

Often by my lonesome my ideas and inside thoughts take me to a very dark place. Laced by life I spin out of control, equilibrium off balance I'm a total mess up. Outspoken about my opinion and not afraid to stand up.

Honesty is my best policy but it puts me in more harm than good. I've noticed most can't take the heat and often run far away. Often misunderstood and give the wrong impression but the true real me is a whole different person.

My heart is pure and often too full. Tired of life's heat as I keep feeling beat. Beat to the ground black and blue, left with no clue of how to change the pattern.

Very little know the real me, but there's way more saying they know me, that they know my tendencies and feelings. I never was given an option or a choice, I always made decisions off of what I had to do. See the difference in a decision and a choice.

You took away my voice unable to sing or scream, cry and only hide. You lied and in return I had to stay on the ride, feeling all your tides. Low and high making me feel like I was ready to fly, no more flies only butterflies and beautiful clear skies.

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.
