Poetry On Odyssey: Sincerely, Morose

"Thursday and Friday just blurred together...I felt everything, but nothing at all one time..."

52
Girl

Everything I have frequently felt or experienced put into a format in which I can only hope to make you feel and arise a feeling inside that ultimately comes with a new perspective towards life.


Sincerely, Morose

I am 17 years and 11 months old-

Thus far, I ponder frequently- as I am moving through one of the biggest losses of my entire life.

No, not death- but the loss of a human being that understood my soul from the start.

That human being that had watched me break, and develop further.

Then, break again-

develop,

and break more.

Day after day, I knew I had somebody to fall into- somebody to have my back when I dropped to the ground in despair.

But, time is funny-

Time distorts, changes and manipulates the mind to be apart from the soul where bonds have been cemented.

Time cracks the cement after each memory and each person disappears from my life.

Overall, time had changed me,

time had changed you,

and the time of us had stopped.

-losing your childhood best friend


Nobody else bothered, to simply take off their shoes & step into mine for one day.

Monday, was the fucking best;

Tuesday... iffy;

Wednesday, was boring and I couldn't get up out of my bed to even use the toilet.

Thursday and Friday just blurred together...I felt everything, but nothing at all one time.

Today is Saturday. I couldn't begin to tell you, guess or even try to formulate a plan for how my day is going to go.

I wasn't, and I am not able to; ever dictate how my day goes because I, myself, felt powerless.

Laying in my body on autopilot, flying through the days just wishing I won't make it through the rest.


-a bipolar depressed maniac.

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.

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.
