Why Us? An Original Poem

Pain

And Suffering

Is what I've had all these years


I watched you be happy

With others

It broke me


About twenty years

Since the first day

We met


At the age of 7

You would take me

On pizza dates


You walways tell mom

“She will be my wife

When I grow up”


I was so innocent

And didn't worry about

Marriage


Years passed by

We been through it

All


But, there is nothing

Absolutely nothing

We can't overcome


We are

two strong Eagles

fighting the storm


You make me

stronger...

Did you know?


We've made

Mistakes

We are humans


What's most beautiful

About us is

We know God


If he's the center of us

Nothing the devil

Can do to tear us apart


You love me,

I Love you…

I always did


I get a little too crazy

When I think of losing you

I could never


After all look at us

We left and always came back

Running in circles


We're like two kids

When we are together

Silly


I can never stay mad at you

You put a smile on my face

Sometimes I try to hide it


You catch me smiling

Every single time

Only you can do that


I would give up everything,

fortunes and luxuries

If I had it, just to be with you


You held me up

When I fell down

You cleaned my tears


There's no one

I would rather spend the

Rest of my days with, only you…


I do apologize for my flaws

And imperfections

I will work on it


But for now

Let's show the world

We can survive the storms


This is why us

We are perfectly imperfect

I love you.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
