Poetry On Odyssey: Silly Girl

My dear silly girl, what are you hiding behind your eyes?

Poetry On Odyssey: Silly Girl

My dear silly girl,

What are you hiding behind your eyes?

Is it how you sit alone and try not to cry?

Is it those thoughts pounding in your head of how someday you hope to be wed?

Dearest silly friend,

Will you ever say, why you sit there and stare because you can't look away?

You can't look away from the girls with big hair and their silly ol' friends,

Or the boys with tan skin whose very words make you want to sin.

Please, silly friend,

Do tell me one thing...

Tell me what makes you cry and fight instead of smile and dream?

Don't you dream, my silly girl, of flying with birds in a place where words no longer hurt?

Come and share silly friend,

Share your story with me.

The story of a girl who no longer dreams.

My silly girl, my angel in the sky.

My lovely little bird, no longer does she fly.

Dear silly bird,

Come back to me.

Come be with your friends in a land of dreams.

Turn your light on and flap your wings.

Don't let others crush your dreams.

Please, my dearest friend,

Let me tell you one thing. There are many who will try to dash your dreams.

Some people are hateful and some people don't care.

Sometimes our own voices will cause us the most fear.

Don't stop dreaming or trying to fly.

No matter how hard it gets

You should always, have to try.

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.
