Poetry On Odyssey: Festive Friday

When the start to the weekend feels like the end already.

Poetry On Odyssey: Festive Friday
Sparkle Thots Blog

End of the week, start of the fun

Start of relaxation, ‘til the stress returns Mon

Alarm wakes me up, I peep out the window, squint at the sun

And just tell myself to deal with it, this week’s done in one


Shower, shave, succumb to the sleeplessness

Pour cold water in my face and wonder what week this is

Got nothing major today, and can thankfully say

It should turn out to be a pretty smooth day


But I walk out the door, with the heat on my ass

Run in a packed bus like are these kids going to class?

No seat, standing, waiting to get out and walk to the train

Knowing damn well once I’m at the station, the waiting's the same


Fast forward, I’m late, say “I’m breaking the habit”

My boss stares, wondering if she should let me have it

Walks away, giving me a pass on a platter

Probably thinking “it doesn’t even matter”


I head to supervise staff, make a left then a right

Stop for a second and see something ain’t right

A kid, complaining to a staff about how he can do what he wants cause it’s his right

So I set him straight as the staff tells me he was “handling it” …right


Head back to the office and start doing work

Emails and such, while the AC doesn’t work

I melt away in my chair, trying not to go berserk

‘til I peep the time, and clock out with a smirk


Q66, F train and off to the gym

Work a sweat, walk out in the heat, Q38's here? Don't mind if I hop in

Head home and plan the night because, I need to have fun

No offense to my coworkers, but over there I have none


The night is set and I’m ready to go

Happy hour invite, I’m ready to show

Train did me right, by not going slow

Walk to the bouncer, whip out my wallet… NO


Forgot my ID, and I know they’re going to need it

I look young as hell, so people would wonder why they’re letting a teen in

I'm not gonna beg, if I can't get in, so be it

What a start and what an end, they’re all having fun in there, and Snapchat’s where I’ll see it

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:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
