Red: A September Poem


I know what I know

Red: A September Poem

A red wine colored blanket wraps around my tired body.

Chemistry bonds of red hydrogen and oxygen swirl inside my brain.

I have so many due dates and tasks I think I am insane,

Because I love this work I have, why else would I choose to do it?

The force inside me compels me to keep looking for it,

what is the "it" you say?

Why it's the purpose of these ways

To seek

To learn

To create a better day from yesterday

To live in the moment is to write poetry,

To swim in the ocean of knowledge is to be poetry,

The science I study, and the days that I hurry, are all apart of me escaping from worry,

because there is no worry in the world of an electron

negative, but never sad,

Positive, but never too far away from a neutron of balance,

and always moving, why,

maybe that is why I like to move!

From page to page in 500 page books

and move from street to street,

from person to person.

Trying to understand what could possibly be worse than

living a life of no curiosity-

No newton, no thomson to counter religeous illusions

the world becomes clear with science,

but it becomes fun with poetry,

the connection between these have always been woozy,

But I dream of a day where the connection is clear,

My poems have a melody that one is able to wear

On the crown of knowledge that they wear on their heads

Or alongside their crazy traditions and unmade beds,

Nothing has to make sense!

But everything is clear!

Poetry is a music a feeling written for the world to hear,

because less is more, and more is less,

the world can be confused with the tilt of my poetic hat,

I know where I go

I know what I know

And chemistry and poetry will find their place together

So beautifully matched like pen and the paper.

True knowledge combines the freedom of rhyme with an elemental rhythm,

True knowledge knows no limit to the neuro connection.

Poetry is chemistry and chemistry is poetry

The world makes sense now with their communion.

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.
