I'm Trying To Figure Out If I'm A Blessing Or A Curse

When I first meet you, is my introduction backed up by the devil or a holy verse?

I'm Trying To Figure Out If I'm A Blessing Or A Curse
Christine Saint

This poem reeks of low self-esteem. Every single person is a blessing! Sometimes, I can forget that and I find myself thinking, am I a blessing or a curse?

I'm trying to figure out if I’m a blessing or a curse.

When I first met you, is my introduction backed up by the devil or a holy verse?

Should you hold me closer? Or avoid the void that is my presence?

I don’t want to suffocate you any longer.

You may be stronger

without me.

Will I do right and you do wrong?

Will we be better off along the road, together or a part? Did I enter your life to break your heart?

Am I that cruel? To the point where I need to rule everything around me?

I’m trying to figure out if I’m a blessing or a curse.

Does my smile comfort you? Do you see what I’m truly trying to do? To help you and give you the best of me that I can.

I want that to be enough

to land in certainty that I am, in fact, a blessing

And my presence is not meant to get you stressing.

I wanna be your right hand.

I wanna know where I land when I fall into your world

Do I calm it down or do I make it cold?

To the point where you can’t figure out why you let me hold your heart for a while.

I’m trying to figure out

If I’m a blessing or a curse.

Because right now this question can’t be answered.

I hope I am a blessing to you. Because I knew as soon as I met you that a blessing was upon me,

I guess that’s just how it’s meant to be.

You’re a blessing and I’ll never know if my presence did the same to you…

this seems like part of a curse too.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

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.

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.
