Charging through enemy lines

Dealing with only the wind against his wasteful weary face

Seeing only his weapon in hand

Not knowing of the events to come

The clouds started to sulk as his gun whimpered in tears

Click, Click, the soldier had fired

Shivering as his gun fell to the ground

Tears dripping down the side of his cheek

The soldier then started listening to the wind with a plastic face

All of his regret plummeting to the ground like the rain from the clouds

Click, Click, the soldier had fired

Bullets whooshing and buzzing through his head

Laying down now in the damp dark trench bed

He knew then that he was dead

Click ,Click, the soldier had fired

No more cries of pain would be heard

No more gushing of his tears

His country he fought for out of love

But he died questioning if God was waiting for him above

Click, Click, the soldier had fired

The dreaded blood dripping from his soul

The millions of thoughts rushing through his head

He knew then that no more blood would be shed

Because if he had one more bullet to bend

He would use it on himself instead

Click, Click, the soldier had fired

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.
