Can You Blame Me? - A Poem

As quickly as you made me believe in love, I stopped believing in it again.

Can You Blame Me? - A Poem

can you blame me

If all the promises you once made

Were merely a facade

the more we progressed, the more I looked

For the man you once were.


the late nights , the times where you made me feel inexistent

don’t fucking ever tell other people otherwise

Making me out to be the bad guy

When you will never take accountability


I thought it was my fault for so long

I thought the man you once were disappeared because of me.

but that is so far from the truth

That man you once was ,

Will never be who you are


You read so far into my words,

My identity, my essence

You knew what I wanted in a man

And became the version that I’ve always wanted,

only for it to just be slammed back

In my face because you couldn’t keep the act up


I wanted the you in the beginning to come back

so badly that I stopped finding the beauty in myself

I believed all the things you said to me ; your words were like gospel to me.

since I truly did feel safe with you.

And thought that you would always be there for me.


but after showing my demons & vulnerabilities since I trusted you

not only were you shocked but you also viewed me as a burden

even though I was there through all your bullshit

I never put them against you; I just wanted you to hold my hand and love me like the way you did before


Can you blame me

If after all this time

I won’t be able to open my heart back up again

and that as quickly as you made me believe in love,

I stopped believing in it again.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
