Poetry On The Odyssey: The Big Bad Monster

He has her locked away.

Poetry On The Odyssey: The Big Bad Monster

There is a girl inside of me who knows who I am...

She harmonizes to the cries of my very existence,

Reading the scribes of my aching soul

All-knowing in my mind.


She dances through the nooks and crannies of my memories,

She is beautiful in her spirit,

She is bold and seeks justice.


Her love flows to depths of the world,

Her smile lights up the darkest storms,

Her energy is in abundance.


Euphoria caresses her in every moment!


This girl is buried deep within me

So far that she barely exists

She is veiled by the big dark monster in my mind


He is sneaky,

dark,

Almost invisible.


I can only feel his energy,

It's dark, cold, lonely.


Corroding my body...


His poison slows my love,

My individuality,

The songs of my soul.


The hope that I yearn to cling onto,

Very rarely do I see her anymore.


I don't hear the girl anymore,

I don't feel her anymore.


She is lost...


Occasionally, I hear the echoes of her calls,

A twinge of a smile curls in the corner of my lips.


It's a mournful smile...


I know she's gone,

All I want is for her to come back...


But he has her locked away somewhere,

And I can't find the key...

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
