Poetry On Odyssey: Sense

Early set delirium.

Poetry On Odyssey: Sense

I suppose my recognition of such early set delirium may be my only probable shred of sanity I have to show.

I'm present here, inside my head.

Growing scarce, I see the faces I know and the commitments I've made. Places, current news, dates and basic knowledge..

It seem they're terrorized now too.

They're darting out of my ears, slipping down my skin and falling into the void.

Gone beside anguish.

That's both worrisome and comforting but from here on I can only encourage them.

It was repressing the past that cost me the order of the future.

I see that the sensible mind would know this mania is never marvelous.

So I guess that makes me unsensible.

Which makes sense.

See, there's no space for grief when the tradgadies quake both me and my unsteady world.

And it isn't such help after all, when there's a strain on reality and a wonder in insanity.

And it's not really that absurd because I can't find the whimsy in this presumed salvation.

So what's to lose if I entirely fall into oblivion?

What's more whimsical than senselessness?

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.
