Poetry On Odyssey: "Rumors"

Their mouths run, their lies are told, but no one will believe them for long, because I will tell the truth, and I will destroy their rumours

Their mouths run

Their lies are told

But everyone believes them

Because they heard it from them first


I try to tell the truth

They say I'm the liar

That I'm trying to hijack the truth

When I want everyone to know the truth


No one knows their intentions

They act innocent about it

They don't want their reputation ruined

But they already ruined it

By opening their mouth


I feel trapped

Like I'm at the bottom of the ocean

And everyone refuses to help

Because they don't know the truth


They think they know my intentions

They think they know me

But they don't

They only know someone's fantasy image of me


Their words cut through my heart

I feel like I have a sign on my head

"Do Not Befriend This Psychopath"

In big flashing red letters


Their mouths run

Their lies are told

But no one will believe them for long

Because I will tell the truth

And I will destroy their rumours

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:
