Poetry On The Odyssey: The Big Bad Monster

He has her locked away.

Poetry On The Odyssey: The Big Bad Monster

There is a girl inside of me who knows who I am...

She harmonizes to the cries of my very existence,

Reading the scribes of my aching soul

All-knowing in my mind.


She dances through the nooks and crannies of my memories,

She is beautiful in her spirit,

She is bold and seeks justice.


Her love flows to depths of the world,

Her smile lights up the darkest storms,

Her energy is in abundance.


Euphoria caresses her in every moment!


This girl is buried deep within me

So far that she barely exists

She is veiled by the big dark monster in my mind


He is sneaky,

dark,

Almost invisible.


I can only feel his energy,

It's dark, cold, lonely.


Corroding my body...


His poison slows my love,

My individuality,

The songs of my soul.


The hope that I yearn to cling onto,

Very rarely do I see her anymore.


I don't hear the girl anymore,

I don't feel her anymore.


She is lost...


Occasionally, I hear the echoes of her calls,

A twinge of a smile curls in the corner of my lips.


It's a mournful smile...


I know she's gone,

All I want is for her to come back...


But he has her locked away somewhere,

And I can't find the key...

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.
