The Average Flower

A flower compared to lust

Lust is like a flower,

Ready to bloom and spread its fragrance,

Petals full of beauty,

And a stem stronger than a heart

The more beauty this flowers intakes the more petals

The life around it awards it like a medal

But the flower goes nowhere so it settles

When it settles it finds meaning,

It doesn't need to keep seeking,

For it leads others over its way,

With its beauty on display,

The flower loses love day after day

It starts to lose color and becomes black gray

No matter how bad it got the flower still stayed

As the wind blew the flower swayed,

It started to lose its petals and beauty,

That which was once on display was not hidden,

Left to rot,

It looked sicken,

But that's how nature makes it,

So much for settling down,

The flower is now settled under the ground

Under the ground and through soil

The flower is still awaken through the oil

Why suffer underground when you can be free on top

Why settle down when you cannot stop

Why give up on life and just lay there and rot

Keep pushing through this and don't you stop

As the flower found inspiration,

It leads itself to salvation,

It finally realized reality,

It came to accept mentality,

It stayed patient,

And stopped waiting,

It rose up again,

And regained its domain

The flower gained back its beauty and heart

It has the mind of a genius and has the beauty mark

As it gains and rises from where it start

It captures the sunlight and spreads the love through the park

This flower is now a testimony that the world is designed for us to push through the struggles we face,

It's a sign of beauty

A symbol of grace

It's strength runs strongly throughout those around it,

Look at the beauty it now emits

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.
