Shipwreck- A Poem

Another poem for those who feel lost at sea.

Shipwreck- A Poem

She is a girl

With a broken smile

Formulated with glimmers of beauty

As well as sadness

She is thrown all these words

“We miss you,” “Where have you been?”

But still she never gets “I am your friend”

Empty messages never lead to the meaning of her shattered heart

Lonely is how she feels

The sea that surrounds her only parts for those who think it is okay to leave her soul as a lonely

Shipwreck.

A shipwreck is what she thinks she embodies

But I see her as a beacon of hope

Out on a colorful bay

Sure, her broken smile may be nothing but forced

And her mind is cast away on thoughts that she thinks are the best conclusions.

But she is strong and can withstand the hurricane of life,

This beacon is more than just a figure against a rocky coast

They are independent and do not need to feed into the constant coming and going of ocean waves,

Just how they left her.

She may feel a bit sad inside

But her spirit and spunk

Overcomes what is spit out at her.

As the waves crash into the shore,

Her spirit uplifts

Because there is a boat laid upon

The soaked and foamy sand.

She is not as alone as she thinks.

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.
