Poetry On Odyssey: Better Or Worse, Blessing Or Curse

Better or Worse, Blessing or Curse

Was fooled again, as I start to mend

there aren't any friends, there's only trends


a thing people like. and you think you might

its always on your mind, invading dreams at night


but in the end, trust breaks it don't bend

a lot of time lent, and I'm the one that's spent


tricked to think, your sky was shaded pink

but it was dark in a blink, and in the blackness I sink


from there I was alone, shivering in the cold

as my heart turned to stone, and my body, skin and bone


but the fear now has left, and everything I kept

keeps my fight at its best, and separates me from the rest


but when it hit first, then it was the worst

half my family was in a hearse, like god put me under curse


but now looking back, I thank you for the smack

across my heart it cracked, now I know I needed that


it woke up my mind, lead me to find

my own way in time, and soon I was unblind


and now that your gone, I can sing my song

for what I believe belongs, and what I think is right and wrong


before I was trapped, judged off the bat

from looks and not fact, and body ink tats


looked at as a fool, an alien and a mule

carrying your esteem like a tool, that you used to drain my fuel


but as I said before, I'm glad you used the door

now I know when it rains it pours, and the secret for my cure


I enjoy the lesson learned, the trust that was burned

the loving feeling turned, to and end never earned


for better or for worse, a blessing or a curse

for every lesson learned on earth, there's always a first

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
