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...

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

cousins
Bailey Totten

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
