Quote of the day
Month: April 2017
Light
my way to the path
of the righteous.
For I don’t want to fall back into the darkness
anymore for I have come a long way.
I am not the girl I used to be and every time
I think about it.
It always brings happy tears for the chains that used to hold me back
have long been broken and I won’t ever go back for it is not me that leads this life anymore.
I have never been more grateful than I was when the light came and saved me.
Now the darkness just can’t hold a candle to me.
The darkness is like a shadow it never seems to last long .
I smile in the light and I breathe in the light and, the baggage I used to carry has been left in the darkness where it belongs.

Daily Prompt: Heal
Wounded, I once was so bad that I bled out tears
that ran down my face and created a puddle of sadness.
That puddle soon grows into the river. You walk past every day now.
You never thought once to stop by and check on me.
Things have changed, and I could be mad or sad about how much time has passed.
But this time, you healed me, and I forgive you, and I will move on, for my wounds
are no longer fresh, and as they slowly fade from me, I won’t look back at the challenging times, just looking forward to the most significant moment in my life.
And that is the present.

Quote of the day
Daily Prompt: Outlier
To not feel like you fit in
can be one of the worse feelings to feel.
Or to be new and not know where you could fit in.
the feeling of being alone with no one to connect with.
Keeps running through your mind until you make your first friend.
Written By: Deirdre Stokes
I used to
think my life would end up on a path so much different from the one I’m on
but I never thought I see the connection that grew as I aged up turn into dust
and fade away before I had a chance to mend them.
Time sometimes sneaks up on us and when it’s time to think where it all went wrong
it’s too late or the truth is not around anymore.
So you’re lost and so confused on how it all could have went so this way or maybe
you know the times you slowly but surely walked away and just maybe you thought someone would notice your gone.
But, life has a funny way of showing you just how unimportant you are when you are all alone and no one is trying to find out what happened to you.
You want to be bitter and sad and miserable but you still see the good in the world that has started to close its doors on you.
You smile and you don’t let the bad and lonely moments turn you into someone who doesn’t have some hope left in you.
That little hope keeps you going when time gets so tough that breathing seems like the last thing you should care about.
That little hope carries you on for so long that everything in the past doesn’t bother you anymore but you wouldn’t open that door to the things that don’t matter anymore.
You live with the possibility that someone will remember you and that the connections of today and yesterday will continue and not everyone will leave you.

Quote of the day
Daily Prompt: Denial
I guess I was in denial of the truth
even though it was right there in front of me.
The truth that could unlock all I needed to know
but I choice to just to not acknowledge the things right in front of me
for I’m stubborn sometimes like that.
denial keeps me sane just for a little bit
before I lose it.
But, sometimes denial is all we can do to survive
for the truth just seems too hard to deal with.
We don’t want to be sad or disappointed about the results and we
just don’t want to start over again.

Quote of the day
Detach
I detach from you and it’s the hardest thing I’ve had to do
for I’ve grown to know you and trust you.
And now I have to forget and move on as if it was all just a nightmare
and I have to wake up and just trust and believe it was not real.
I have to accept that what happened in the past is over and to live in the present
knowing your not apart of it and trusting that I can get through all on my own now.
I was angry at the end and disappointed at the same time but now I don’t remember too much but I haven’t truly forgotten you but I don’t think of you either.
Your present in my life is a thing of the path and I’ve accepted that and have grown to be a little different when it comes to handling things this time around.
I don’t think if I saw you that it would hurt but I’m sure I will recognize you and will not stop to say hello for it is best to just leave it alone.

Daily Prompt:Champion
Some days I want to be the champion that defends you from all the evil in this world
to be your hero on a daily base.
But, life doesn’t seem to be able to give me that chance and so sometimes I can’t save you from your hurt.
And I guess it’s shown me that sometimes just being around is all you need to get back up and fight the battles of your life.
Today I may be your champion but, tomorrow someone else may be the one to save you and help you through your trials in your life.
Things will get better and one day you will finally believe you are a champion too.
But, I already know you are for you’re a fighter and you don’t just lay down when times get tough.
You get back up when the hits are barely making a scratch, and when they are strong and knock the wind out of you.
You still get back up and handle the life that was dealt to you for your going to knock life right on its ass and accomplish what you were born to do.

Quote of the day
Daily Prompt: Cusp
I’m just on the edge of something
new.
But, something is holding me back
and I can’t seem to figure out how
to push past it.
And time seems to be running out and the little
bit of chance I have to succeed this task is coming to an end soon.
