A Poem For My Alterego

And you will never hurt me again

A Poem For My Alterego
geminrian.blogspot.com

An alter ego is your worst self; it is the complete opposite of who you are, almost like a devil side to you that you never knew you had unless it comes out when you are sad or angry.

Sad, distressed, and confused

That is what you want me to be

You want me to suffer

And lose every time

You bring me to my lowest

And never are afraid to drag me behind

But I have this little message for you so then you know I changed my mind

I am growing up way past you

If you think you are out to get me, you better think again

In my time of need I had people near by

You may have made your visits abrupt but you never took over

But all you do is wish the worst on me

And I will never let that down

Now that your battles have lost and mine took a great victory

The mistakes I made will never die

Because you will remind me of them again

Just because I remember my mistakes does not mean anything bad

It reminds me of who you want me to be and of who I once was

People make mistakes and that cannot change, ever

But I know one thing is for sure, I will never let you control me again.

Good bye alter ego, for now that is.

You may come back but not anytime soon

Because I have grown up way past you

And you will never hurt me again.

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.
