Would You See Me?

A poem I wrote that goes into depth on how eyes are the windows to your soul, and the only people who you should love are the ones who fully see you. Addiction can take away so much, and this short poem focuses a lot on the inner demons addiction can bring onto a person.

Would You See Me?
Exploring your mind

-If I removed every inch of my skin-

And tore every fiber of my being,

Would you see me?

-If you took off your rose colored glasses,

And looked deep into my soul, my green eyes,

Would you still see me?

-If I laid bare and nude,

In the middle of the ocean afloat-

Would you love me?

-If I stood in front of you,

Exposing all my inner demons,

Would you still love me?

-If I cried for you,

Showed you inside who I really am-

Would you see me?

-If I endeavored to move on,

And let go of the pain in my past-

Would you still see me?

-If I could touch your arms,

And remain your desire to feel calm and safe,

Would you love me?

-If I could remove my flaws,

Cut away the bad days-

Would you still love me?

-If I found the right words to say,

In times of desperate doubt and hardship-

Would you see me?

-If I dove head first,

And jumped from the highest mountain top,

Climbing every rock, finger's blistered,

Sweat dripping down my hot neck-

Only to reach out for you, and grab your broken hand...

Would you still love me?

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.
