Single Life: A Depressing Poem.

I felt a little creative today and my emotions always get the better of me whenever I'm creative.

Single Life: A Depressing Poem.

I wake up in the morning, tired but not sad.

A new day is beginning, it always makes me glad.

I drive to the campus, I sit in a chair.

Reading my book, trying to be there.

My mind is racing, with thoughts and ideas.

But everyone's scared to remember what's real.

Iphones, and laptop's, electronics and more,

we are one-dimensional beings. Nothing more.

Never time to play, because we have school all day,

We work during our free times, just to get paid.

Conversations are only five minutes long.

The interest is certain, but never is strong.

I bury myself in what I read and what I write,

but I can't ignore smiles walking by holding hands tight.

My hands have been cold, never held for five years,

on to the sixth, loneliness cheers.

I've tried my best, to be a wonderful guy.

But every women I've met bare's a shallow eye.

Nice guys finish last, like I always will.

Because I never seem to fit anyone's bill.

Bodies of hourglasses, and flat muscled chests.

Love only applies when you look the best.

Beauty is evil because it always comes first.

You are blessed to possess it, but if not, it's a curse.

Romance is dead, love exists in the bed.

We are beautiful once, before we die, it'll be dead.

Maybe I'm wrong or I'm just depressing.

But the beautiful people still act all oppressing.

I hopelessly hope for someone in my life.

I pray to God one day, I find her. But not tonight.

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.
