You Don't Love Me: A Poem

I'm sorry

But you don't love me if the tears that's flowing down my cheeks

Don't make your fists clench tight together

Or make your stance a bit quaky

Or make you feel like fire is down your throat

Preventing you to utter the very words

Of "Don't worry, I still love you."


You don't love me

If you don't put your arms around me when others are staring at me

When they want to know me, but they cannot know me

Solely because my heart belongs to you.

You don't love me if you don't stare at me in the whimsical of the moment

Just when I'm doing nothing in the moment, when I'm minding my own business

When my aura floats around in the air, your eyes on my with that twinkle in the corner.


You don't love me

If you don't pay attention to my quirks or my lows

And still see me in the same exact light.

Because when I start loving you unconditionally

I take off my mask that I need to appear as to please others

And show you my real self

With my stubborn personality

And my hyper-activity when I'm talking about my day

Or something I'm passionate about.


You don't love me

If you look at others behind my back

Or even comment on others' beauty

Because that just shows that you ignored my own beauty

When you know my insecurities exist with my outer appearance

And that my inner insecurities grow because of my outer insecurities.


You don't love me

If you don't notice my love for you

The love that's so clear

That shines through the darkness

That keeps going even when people try to stop it.

You don't love me

if you disappear

And don't come back to 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.
