Poetry On Odyssey: Mirror Of The Month

"But you knew with Him, who died and bled, / Whose blood He shed / anything is possible"

Poetry On Odyssey: Mirror Of The Month
Andrew Council

I witness your pain like a jury member

Empathizing for you, December

Your words are cold, November

However, I can’t seem to remember

the times where You actually felt lucky

Not like the four leaf clover

Or it snowing in October

But you simply smiling

Smiling like the First day of September

cause it’s the one day you get to be the center

You clean your mirror, trying to clean your self-reflection

However it can’t get anymore flawless

In August

Where you stepped out in the world, knowing you were the change.

No longer the Jury Member, now I’m the judge

Deciding your fate

Restricting your hate

Stop crying

Saying you’d rather “die than live”

“Julying”

Pick yourself up plaintiff and walk

Walk then run with that sheet of paper that you spent four long years working for.

because where you come from, In June, this only happens every blue moon.

“It May happen” they said.

But you knew with Him, who died and bled,

Whose blood He shed

anything is possible

April showers

Don’t bring flowers

They bring floods

Floods of uncertainty and pain, yet happiness when your mother smiles.

Who you’d March a thousand miles

To see

Just cause it’s February, doesn’t mean you have to be alone

Just cause it’s V-day, and no one is blowing up your phone

You Still smile

Plaintiff, I see through you as I look at you

And just because it’s January and you still have the flu,

I still smile.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
