The Daily Post: Daily prompt: Misplaced
Your gone where did I place you
The thing that means so much to me.
Are you under the couch or maybe your on
The table with all the other important things.
Maybe I’ll never find you because after awhile
It’s getting tiring looking for you and maybe
When I stop you will find your way to me instead.

I’m high up and I’m not letting you bring me down.
Looking over it all and I realize all the small things
Aren’t so big right now.
I’m standing tall and I don’t need to stay up here forever,
Because I’m not afraid to come down anymore.
For I can stand up and I’m not alone anymore and
Maybe I never was.
But couldn’t see it because I locked myself up for
I thought I was alone.
So when things got bad I would climb up to that place
No one could reach me.
And kept it all to myself, hoping one day it would be better.

Sometimes it can be a little tricky
to find the right words to say.
For I don’t want to come off as someone
who doesn’t know what they are talking about.
It’s a little tricky to be yourself
when you worrying half the time, if they accept you for who you are.
It’s a little tricky to feel this way about you
knowing it can mess things up.
It’s a little tricky to write this out
knowing your going to see this and
think I tricked you.

You seem so faraway
even though your not that far from me.
I scream at you to listen to me
but you block me out as you close your eyes
and fade into your fantasy world.
I don’t know if you will ever be here with me again
You seem to enjoy that far off land that’s just
too faraway for me to reach you.

I’m cruising on autopilot
don’t ask me what I see
It’s all just a blur in front and around me.

Am I so upset that I can’t seem to keep it inside
like I want to climb to the highest mountain and just scream
it all out.
Until I’m empty inside
No words left inside, no emotions so high
Just quite all around.
And I feel my feet on the ground again and
I am fine again at least that’s the lie I keep telling myself.

You dived right in
Like danger didn’t exist to you.
You came up for air with a smile on your face
So innocent you were that day.
That innocence I loved is long gone for
You now see the world for what it is.
A place where danger exist and fear grows daily.
But you know there are good things in this world
Too, like joy and laughter and love.
And one day you will dive right back in
again and come up with a smile on your face again.

For my heart is in a place that doesn’t seem safe.
The thorns grow more out of control each day.
Poking and causing pain like never before.
There is no situation to what my heart is going through.
There’s not even an explanation to how this started or when it will end.
So I’m frustrated to the point of I’m just standing here waiting for something to happen.
For I have no moves left to take and no words left to say.

There’s nothing more that I would need
For I know I’m content with everything I have.
As I sit here and I close my eyes it all falls away and I’m content with what I have again for I feel your warmth God.
And you tell me to just let go and let you take over and as I let go everything falls into place.
My eyes open and I smile for once I feel like I choose to put my trust in you and believed it would all workout.
My mind is clear and I’m in heaven as my heart is beating to a new tune.
A tune of praise so beautiful it made everything else fade away, I’m soon swaying to the melody that stole my heart forever.
A feeling of true content in you God for my need always came from you so pure.

I feel like I’ve been missing me
And as the music pours in I’ve awaken.
From this fog called distraction that had me fooled that I was living to my fullest.
The days that seem so good, just seem like they could have been better.
With the light shining down on me, what a joyful feeling
As everything lights up and warms to the touch.
For I once was a dark forest that was too scary to approach.
Now I’m a grand garden that light shines down on and flowers bloom and birds sing.
And at night I’m full of lights that twinkle like the stars in the night and you come and sit by my side and you are not afraid that it’s nighttime.
For I’ve made you feel safe and peaceful day and night, an endless time of joy to come.

I’ve made many mistakes in my lifetime
I can’t say I didn’t regret them all
I don’t think I remember them all either.
But the one’s I do remember, they are there as
Reminders that I’m just human and I must not
Rely on my mistakes to help me grow or be wiser.
I must leave my mistakes in the past and move forward
On my own and not use my mistakes to help me get up
When things seem so hard that I can’t go on without taking the easy way out.
But, I’ve realized I like myself more when I know I’ve done the right thing the right way the whole time.
And not only when I fear someone will find out, because my God is always watching so there is no moment I will get away with doing things the wrong way.
So goodbye mistakes I don’t think I will continue to grow old with you.

(Seeing something I learned about and studied in school in its full structure was amazing. It inspired this poem.)
Being able to see you in your full beauty
was breath taking.
The waterfall that you were built on memorizing
I will never forget the amount of joy you brought me
that day a memory I will always remember.

I didn’t think It would end up this way, where I would fall down the rabbit hole.
And instead of falling into the world of Alice in wonderland did.
I fall into a hole where my life is upside down and all the people who I want to be around.
Have all but disappeared and not in slow motion where you saw them go.
but so fast I didn’t catch on until they were gone and only small fragments are left of the presence that used to be here.
No one is present and soon I feel I am to become the mad-hatter.
talking nonsense to myself, well I guess it won’t matter for no one comes for tea anymore.
Lost in the world not so like Alice in Wonderland.
