Daily Prompt: Tailor

mywords2228

She always needed to tailor her clothes for she was always too short

She couldn’t find pants that were in between too short or too long.

She didn’t look forward to shopping for it just was too hard to enjoy the time

of finding something nice that would last a long time.

She moved around the in store in search of something just right for her

and even though she had to go through almost the whole store to find them.

She took home that day a very nice denim jeans that lasted her for a couple of years.

You move around me in awkward pattern like a child trying to walk for the first time.

I try to ignore you because it’s just annoying as I try to get around you.

after five minutes of getting no where, I just laugh and push you down.

And laugh even harder when you just can’t seem to get up right.

its like seeing a turtle trying to turn over and get back up.

I realize it’s all just your way of trying to cheer me up and for that I’m grateful.

And so I find myself smiling and helping you up and off the floor.

Daily Prompt: Bury

mywords2228

I buried my thoughts away as the days go by

and I have to move on from the things I have no control over.

Time will go by and maybe I will forget what happened that day

I want to bury it away and not dig it up again.

To just walk past where I buried apart of me and move on and

grow into a new me where that pain doesn’t guard me to a place

I don’t need to stay for a very long time.

The darkness will eat me alive and I’ll be buried for too long that

coming back up to the light will be far from my mind.

As the words that hold no true meaning will make me feel

so lost and broken until I can’t fight this anymore.

Daily Prompt: Grit

It took courage to tell you everything that was going on

even though she knew you wouldn’t say anything because you didn’t

know how to help.

But, she needed someone to listen even though she knew it didn’t matter in the end

the results were lying right in front of her and she just couldn’t bear to tell you.

But, she told you something else and walked away knowing you didn’t have to bear the

burden she would carry on her shoulders for the rest of her life.

Maybe I

mywords2228

want to say more to you but the words just won’t come

and so I find anything to just distract me until I fall asleep.

And talking to you is forgotten and I wake up with so many

things to do that I just don’t play attention to the things that I can’t find the words to express.

I don’t know when it happened but it did and I know that no matter how much

time will go by that there is no going back and things will never be the same and that’s

something I have to live with and maybe one day you will read this but for now it’s what it is.

Where this will end is unclear but, I know that I am not the women I used to be and you have to accept that now because later will be too late anyways for me.

Daily Prompt: Caper

mywords2228

She needed to dance so bad for the stress

and disappointment was eating her alive.

No amount of time was healing these wounds

that seemed to close and just rip open over and over again.

As she put on the music and just let herself move to the beat as

she let go of everything that was crowding her mind and driving her insane.

The headache that was  building up in her head was making it hard for her to focus on what was going on around her.

That smile she pasted on her face was becoming harder to hold as the level of her patience was slowly falling away.

But, then time was on her side and she got to get away and just let loose for a while, so she closed her eyes and danced to everything song until she was too tired to move.

And the smile on her face before she called it a night was a genuine one that she only showed everything now and then.

Daily Prompt: Savage

mywords2228

You always seem so quiet

but that day you were like a

savage animal and no matter.

How much we tried to calm you down

you just became too much to handle.

And we had to step back and let you go

and hope the next people who helped you.

Got through to you for everything we tried

just made you angry and untamable.

When will

mywords2228

it end sooner or later

will I even know when the days start to seem different

like shorter because I’m sleeping more.

Or will it all seem longer as I read more and get lost in what’s in front of me and not in everything  going on around me as it all just fades away.

And I’m all alone before I know what happened and maybe at first it will be sad but

over time it will just become my new normal and maybe over time I will accept that and move on.

Will I know when the time will come or will it just happen and I just happen to wake up one day and know everything is different.

And I feel different and only a few things make me feel connected to this world but all the worldly things just don’t do it for me anymore.

I just don’t feel that desire to crave the things that everyone else is looking forward too and then I wonder what I am I looking forward too.

When will I know this is it and there is nothing to go back too and I don’t feel sad about the things that I’ve left behind and the things that left me behind.

I’ll finally be at a place in my life where all that I thought I needed was never  mine and all that I have now is all that I ever needed.

I always know when you are coming near for the jingling of your keys

is heard before I see your face.

Or hear your voice but when we speak is always entertaining a moment I look forward too.
