Vanishing Into Nothing

A Poem About How I Feel

49
Vanishing Into Nothing

I used to think that poems were lame, until I figured out that they can explain so much in the world. Like your feelings toward something, a different place in the world, and even tell a story. Many people I know are like me, but just give this poem a chance to explain my feelings toward something. I know it’s not normal for me to write things like this, but just give it a chance to express how I feel…

You look in the mirror,

Not knowing what to feel,

You look down at yourself,

Not knowing what you did,

You look back at yourself,

With a dazed look on your face,

You smile, feeling satisfied,

Knowing how it feels,

You feel the warm dripping down your hand,

Feeling your life run out,

You think of everything that you did wrong,

Knowing you did the right thing,

You wonder how long you have,

Just to think about the life you lived,

You see a picture of your sister,

And feel sad on the inside,

You start to cry,

Knowing she will be devastated,

You look back at yourself,

Disgusted in everything you did,

You feel the warm running out of your body,

Satisfying the empty feeling that has been inside for so long,

You collapse,

The shiny thing that did this landing next to you,

You smile,

Seeing the culprit caught makes you seem not guilty,

Your life slowly seeping into the floor,

Knowing this is the end,

Your eyes shut,

the world fades away,

You feel so relieved of everything,

And everything is... gone.

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.

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.
