Quote of the day
Month: June 2017
Daily Prompt: Cringe
I didn’t want to coward away when you
came around but the thought of you so close.
Took all my courage away from me and I just couldn’t
see the outcome of what today would be like.
Every screen that played out in my mind just didn’t
end well and I just couldn’t bear to see if my fear and embarrassment came true.
So I ran away before you came near and even though you said hi before
I got away, I just couldn’t stay.
And even later when they told me you looked confused and hurt at the same time, I knew I had to apologies but I just didn’t know how too.
But, at the end of the night I guess you gave me no choice as I drove up to the house there you were waiting for me and excuse to why I ran the way I did.

Daily Prompt: Commit
I commit to you not just today
but every moment of my life.
I owe you everything for you saved me
and you keep saving me.
I’m lost without you and I struggle with you but
that’s only because you want me to learn and do better.
And how can I grow if everything is easy and not complicated, You lift me up and committing to you comes easy to me now.
I’ve become someone because of you and my worth was defined before I opened my eyes and entered into this world.
I am who I am supposed to be because of you and I won’t stop writing and believing because you fuel me when I can’t seem to function without you.
Getting by day by day without you on mind and without you in my heart is like living in this world but walking around like a zombie with no purpose or direction.
Always hungry for something to fill me up but it won’t happen because you are the reason I feel complete now.
No longer feeling lost looking for something or someone to fill up the emptiness inside of me only to be disappointed when the emptiness is still there and growing bigger.
And no amount of time is making it better and I grew completely clueless and hopeless and dramatic.
But, one day you helped me finally wake up and walk away from the life I thought was the right one.
So today I commit to you Lord and only you, for without you nothing else would really matter or hold an interest.

I suppressed
it all inside the feelings that rises up inside now and then
I just can’t seem to find the right time to express them.
Because I have not met you yet and so the hope of just releasing what I know will be
the greatest weight lifted off my shoulders.
Will have to wait until the right time comes along and you make me smile, a smile that reaches my eyes.
A smile that changes my soul and lightens up my life for the first time ever.
The things that feel like a snuggle will no longer matter as we become one and the things that bother others will no longer be my concern.
I will live for my God and you and then what comes next will be unknown but I won’t suppress anything if it means losing what I have just gained.

The sun shines down on me that day, a day full of smiling faces and cheering as we run up and down the field.
We were in the finals and we were hoping to win it all and so we ran like crazy and scored until we were so ahead that there was no coming back for the other team.
We won and we hugged and cried and shook hands with the other team, we were proud of our accomplishment for we believed it would all work out and it did.

Daily Prompt: Illusion
It had been a long day the heat was getting to them.
As they walked through the park and on to the path back to the car.
They all swear that day they heard an ice cream truck and so badly
wanted something cold to cool them down.
As they saw the truck coming around the corner they all ran closer to
get the drivers attention.
But, as they got closer they realize it was just a delivery truck with lays chips on the side
as they stopped running and waving their hands.
They all started to laugh for the illusion of wanting something cold had made them all make a fool of themselves and they were grateful not many people were around that day.
But, they know this memory will be one to remember.

Quote of the day
Daily Prompt: Paper
Paper you used to be my go to when I had to write something down
whether it be poetry or just a thought.
I would just get this feeling and quickly I would grab a pencil and just start writing until
my heart was content.
The words would just flow from my mind on to that paper and I wouldn’t stop until I felt I had let it all out.
I still have poems on paper and read them now and then but my love for writing on paper isn’t as strong as before.
As I spend more time writing on my computer than I do with paper.
Sometimes I go back to you paper and write and write until my hands just can’t write anymore and I have to rest.
Paper you were what I used in the past and sometimes in the present and if It hadn’t started with you.
I wouldn’t have a full notebook of poems now and I wouldn’t have so many more poems on my computer either.

I had your back and you had my back and together we could accomplish anything we put our minds too.
Then one day you notice something we weren’t both good at and soon we were going into two directions and there was no goodbye just you disappeared.
And the anger and hurt I felt didn’t seem to matter to you now that we were no longer friends and you had moved on and I guess I had to move on too or I’d never get over the hurt.

Quote of the day
Daily Prompt: Loop
Sometimes I get lost in a loop of a song
and I just can’t seem to break away from listening to it over and over.
The song just plays on and on and every time the words bring a new message to me
and I lose myself over and over again.
Until some other song comes out and I just love that new song and the loop is broken
until the next song and song after that.
I enjoy these loops and keep playing them until the next time I hear something new that needs to be my new loop of music for the week or month.

Promise
I promised you that everything would be okay.
And that I would stop being that way
but sometimes what my mouth says isn’t what my mind wants to listen too.
So I do what I shouldn’t do and in the end that promise is broken and forgotten.
Maybe guilt will come along and maybe it won’t.
But, I will know I broke it when I realize things are no longer the same.
And your trust and faith in me is now on shaken grounds.
My word is no longer reliable anymore and my actions seem to surprise you.
