Not Broken: A Poem About My Life

Don't assume you're in control.

Not Broken: A Poem About My Life
HD Wallpaper

I wrote this poem a while back about how some things in life don't always go the way we plan. It also is to speak how people often fail to known the amount that they actually effect people in life. Don't always assume, but because people do it anyway it sometimes inspires a poem.


NOT BROKEN

You think that you got me

You think that you broke me,

You think that you own me

You think that you control me.


You were completely wrong

You didn’t know anyone could be that strong.

You on the other hand made it very clear,

You were the real jerk here.

You went around crying telling your sad tale,

You wanted sympathy but you decided to bail.


You wasted my time

You wasted my feelings

You wasted my kisses

You wasted my texts

You wasted my insecurities

You wasted my trust.


You said you were sorry and cried

You were the one that lied.

You said you were ready

You wanted something steady

You committed to me

You then decided to flee.

You let go and there is no going back,

You run circles around me instead of being on your life track.


You wanted me to be pushed down

You wanted me to look like a clown

You wanted me to give up hope

You wanted me to walk around and mope.


You didn’t care about my plans or my dreams,

You don't understand it would seem.

You should know all about my brain

You boys tend to run just when it begins to rain.

You are scared of my established identity,

You couldn't face reality

You are a boy

I am

A women.

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.
