Poetry On Odyssey: Creatures

A group of creatures caught in a misdemeanor.

I still remember that one day

That was nearing the end of eighth grade.

A happy moment for all of us

Until the truth came upon us.


I was enjoying myself until someone

Got my attention and told me to come.

She was sitting with another

Who was very familiar.


There we were sitting in the bleachers

Not knowing of the other creatures.

My friend had asked who are you going with?

I responded "no one," and I thought that was it.


But I noticed something about her

She looked troubled and started to blunder.

She asked if I knew anything about the other creatures.

I said "no," after all, what is there to wonder?


And at that moment I figured it out,

As their attempt to hide was feeble.

The horrible truth came out of her mouth,

The other creatures had done evil.


Hatred swooped upon me and I knew they had shunted.

But that's not all.

They had been confronted,

And were stumbling to their fall.


The other with us had later joined the other side,

And she made a terrible mistake.

One more of us who had joined us with pride,

Led herself into that dangerous lake.


So now it was two lost fools finding their way to the creatures.

Who had gathered together,

To go out and about,

Hunting for another.


While the two wisest of us were angels,

And we discovered many new experiences,

On our trip together,

Isolated from the creatures.

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.
