(Trigger Warning: suicide, depression)

This is a sestina style poem that I wrote describing a rather difficult time in my life. I was really depressed and I thought that the only thing that was going to fix it was taking my life. I didn't want to be alive anymore, but at the same time, I knew I needed to hold on. This poem basically describes the back and force I had in my head of what those juxtaposing feelings were like.


I am so tired of everything

No matter what nobody will care

How unimportant it seems, life

When nobody bothers to notice you

I am done being a burden to everyone

I want and need this life to end


There will be always be someone to care

Even when it seems like you've met the end

It's hard when on your shoulders is everything

But don't be mistaken you can have a great life

You can't always have your mind be on you

Learn to care about not you, but everyone


No longer do I wish to have this life

I promise I am done with everyone

I just cannot deal with everything

Nobody cares until who hurts is you

I am ready for this life, everything, to end

Nobody cares, and nobody ever will care


You cannot let this be the end

I promise you can get through this life

Think about everyone who needs you

There's much more to see, there's everything

I promise the hate is not from everyone

If nobody else then there's me, I care


No I can't this has to end

I am over it I am over everything

Don't lie to me, you don't care

All I am is a burden to everyone

I have to end it, I have to end this life

I'm sorry but you'd understand if it was you


I do understand because I was you

I thought I was a burden to everyone

I thought that I couldn't deal with life's everything

I thought that this was a bad life

I didn't have anyone to care

I promise it get better, this doesn't have to be the end


I'm sorry

This is the end.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
