You Underneath Time

A piece I wrote a couple years ago, but haven't shared much.

You Underneath Time is a poem about a broken heart and friendship. This is the tea sis.


You Underneath Time

I am not okay

I hate you

You don't know boundaries

You don't mean sorry

Sorry doesn't mean anything

Sorry, you said over and over

Over time it may get better

Over time it may not

Not looking back

Not thinking twice

Twice this has happened to me

Twice it's ended a friendship

Friendships don't always work out

Friendships are continually broken

Broken hearts are not easily healed

Broken relationships can not mend

Mend my heart I feel so blue

Mend my mind to think something new

New days bring new thoughts

New friendships bring new memories

Memories the good and the bad

Memories I think about all night

Nighttime is scary

The night leads me to think

Think about your actions

Think about what you've done

Done is all I can say

Done are my feelings today

Today I can't bear to see you

Today I want to forget

Forget that night

Forget trusting you

You don't understand

You don't know how I hurt

Hurt me once

Hurt me again

Again I cry

Again I made mistakes

Mistakes have become a "habit"

Mistakes are no longer just that

That thought is in my head

That thought plays continually

Continually I loved you

Continually you were forgiven

Forgiven no more

Forgiven not this time

Time will speak

Time will heal

Heal me

Heal my heart

Hearts may break

Hearts will change

Change this mindset

Change my mind

Mind my business

Mind your own

Own your mistakes

Own up to this

This is over

This cannot go on

On to something new

On a new path

Path to happiness

Path to a good time

Time to forget

Time has a limit

Limit the bad

Limitless the good

Good is around the corner

Good times never stop

Stop trying to be ok

Stop trying to make us work

Work for what you want

Work for the best

Best friends may not stay

Best days are yet to come

Come along this journey

Come to a new me

Me myself and I is what I have

I am what I need

Need some time

Need some space

Space to be free

Space to be me

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.
