Daily Prompt: Dignify

She walks with so much grace as those who don’t know her watch and judge her

like it’s a game.

She does everything with an honor of doing it for her Lord, for she could judge too and be all that everyone else is.

Or she could be different and step out on what others think makes you worth of their time.

She feels she is worth for she was giving a certain path to live on and she knows that maybe what she does is not what people think she was meant to do.

But, it is a path she is on and for that she is grateful for, for the past was not all good and the future is a mystery in certain areas.

But, she is happy to know she is worth for the breath she breathes everyday and all the things she does to make someone else day good when all she wants to do is have a day without much stress.

Realizing it’s not over yet

100 Word Wednesday: Week 33

Image credit: Bikurgurl, 2017

Capturing all the moments spent with my friends these last couple of days  has me thinking about how much I’ve missed from their lives.

Because I was trying so hard to keep my own life together and now that I’m with them I can’t imangine what my life would be like now if I hadn’t reached out a couple of months ago and planned this trip for us to take.

Would we have talked anytime sooner or would I continue to live my life regreting that I had pushed them all away for I just needed a moment to be worthy of them again.

Like the skeleton of this dinosaur there are many bones too discover in my past and many bones to my future.

Each path is rocky some point of the journey and even though I enjoyed so many there are paths I don’t want to  travel down again.

Each step I take now is carefully placed for I don’t want to make the same mistake again and I want to make sure what I have left of this journey is memorable so those that follow after me will have learned a thing or two.

Daily Prompt: Synchronize

These days it’s like you have to  synchronize everything you have just to keep track of what is going on with your life.

You synchronize your watch so that you can remember that in an hour or two you have to remember to pick something up at the cleaners.

You synchronize your Fitbit with your cellphones so that you can keep track of your steps and many moves through out your day.

We synchronize our plans so that we can hang out with the people we care about during our days off.

Daily Prompt: Visceral

Deep down she knew the feelings she had for him

would come back up again even though it’s been a long time.

Like the deep well in the village it would take a long time for her to

build up the courage to say anything to him.

Some days she felt it would be okay to not say anything at all and just move forward

but other days it felt like she needed to just say it and get out the way.

But, she knows that this matter is sensitive and should be told in person and she needs to make sure she says it right and clear to get her message out.

Because, not everything that is kept deep down should be let out into the light.

Daily Prompt: ooze

The poison oozed from her eyes and mouth as her body tried to push

all the poison out of her system.

They thought it would only take some hours for she was not afraid and was using

all the strength she had left to get the evil out of her and to be pure and safe from the poison that was flowing through her veins that night.

It took days and nights and weeks for her to get her true strength back.

She now knew more about the poison that had been inside her and she knew who had done it.

She laid low for a while to keep her enemies off her trail and let them think she didn’t make it or that she was still not to full up to her true power yet.

Daily Prompt: Lurch

She swayed to the beat of the music as she danced with the crowd

Everyone was so hyped up about the music and band that was on stage.

She had never been in a crowd this big but she was glad she had decided to come out tonight.

The air was clear and fresh and the breeze made it so much easier to be around everyone in since a tight space.
