Quote of the day
Month: September 2017
No more
words can come out of my mouth
or float in mind as the day goes on.
And everything about me just shuts down inside
with no hope to surface until the day I’ve been waiting for comes.
The things that were so thought out just don’t matter and the pain just makes it all seem so not worth it.
I can barely focus on today and I still have a tomorrow to deal with.

Quote of the day
Daily Prompt: Recreate
I want so bad now to recreate all the times we spent together but I know there is no going back.
As you leave me here to fight another day on this earth, I know that you are at peace in heaven.
I know that I am not the only sad one to see you go and it would be selfish of me to want you to be here still when you’re in a better place now.
I’d take all the rough days of my life just to be with you right now and see your face and feel your embrace.
But, I can’t go back to past and the tears I cry are for the moments I had with you and I love you and I know this day didn’t go very great.
But, hearing you were gone was a wake up call.
For no matter how busy and rude people are and will be, you were my little light that shined bright and you loved me so much and now I feel so sad.
I want to recreate the last moment I saw you and make it last for a lifetime but as I close my eyes tonight I know my thoughts will be about you.
I will carry my memories of you with me all the time and even though I wish the world would stop just for me to have enough time to be in my thoughts.
I know the world will carry on with or without me and I know I will build my wall back up and life will go on.

Quote of the day
Daily Prompt: Flavorful
The milkshake was full of so much flavor as the vanilla ice cream was mixed with little Oreo cookies.
The taste against her tongue was so rich and delicious that she just couldn’t get enough of the drink that day and soon went back for another one the next day.
It erased all the pain and stress she had gone through that day and just made her remember all the good times.
But, also not to forget the times of trouble because it made her take risk to try new things and taste the different flavors out there.
So many flavors she has tasted and not a moment was wasted as she got her favorite ice cream at least once a year.

Have I
disappeared from your mind that one day when I ask you something.
It will come to a shock to you
Should I have tried harder to make you a part of my life.
Am I the reason things are the way they are and If so I have no one to blame but myself.
Should I feel sorry for myself now and will that even make things better or worse.
I don’t know what to think as my days go by and the things that once seemed so important fade from my mind.
The things that used to overwhelm me no longer trigger me to feel that way.
I am calm and counted with not much bothering me now.
But, then I feel guilty for just living for you and not worrying about the things I used to put first.
But, somehow I don’t want to go back for the now feels so good and I’m not in my head so much.
The pain isn’t what’s running my life now, it’s the peace and love that is so deep.
That I can now get though so much more than I thought possible now.
I’m on a high that out lives my worse days and the person that just seem equipped to marking me miserable.

Quote of the day
Daily Prompt: Thorny
Her words were so sharp
that it felt like I had fallen into a bush of many thorns.
And no matter how many times I tried to get up, it would just cause more pain
as my hands touched more thorns.
As I finally rolled over and fall to the ground safe from the pain.
I looked up to try to ask you why you had been so harsh to me but,you were gone
and it all seems like a dream because you were gone before I knew what had happened.

Quote of the day
Daily Prompt: Penchant
I have a strong passion for writing and just letting it all out
until I’ve drained every emotion inside me.
That sometimes I have to take a break from writing for I’m just burned out but, sometimes even then I keep trying to come up with something.
Through my writing I find understanding, healing and freedom to just be who I want to be and write the way that feels good to me.
No walls are left standing when I get through writing about the reality of my life or coming up with something clever in the moment.
To have that feeling when a piece is just so great that you believe and trust no matter how many people enjoyed it, it was something great because you felt the greatness before you hit that publish button.
It’s one of the things you look forward to get to do everyday and night, even times when you’re so tired.
You just drag yourself to write a piece short and sweet because you just need to write and leave your mark out there for another day.

Protect
100 Word Wednesday: Week 36
We stand here to protect and serve, and sometimes our job is hard
Because some people don’t want to listen to us or some of us don’t do the right thing.
But, we here still trying our best to protect you and make sure nothing bad happens for that’s what we signed up for.
We could have choose anything as our career but we fell in love with what this job has to offer not just for us but for our family and friends.
We don’t just protect the one’s we love but, the ones that need protection more than they think they do.
The one’s that feel all alone and have no one to count on at the end of the day.

Quote of the day
Can you feel
the feeling of the music pouring all over me and my once tired body
is moving and awake like it hasn’t been interrupted the last couple of days
from the noise of rude neighbors.
Can you feel the world just being so much brighter now than before when all you wanted to do was lay in bed and fall back to sleep and not care if you wasted the whole day away.
You tried so hard to block out the noise and at last it worked but the hours that you had missed out on really took a toll on your body.
But, as the day goes on you have so much more energy than you had before and you feel like you can do so much.
You can feel your life taking back control of the things that are bothering you and you start to do the things you used to do again.
You feel alive and refreshed and hopeful as the music beats to everything going on in your life or things that don’t but you believe and trust it will all workout.
So for a little while you forget all the things that have been bugging you for so long, and you feel lighter when the song is over and the next one is just as strong.
You walk away with a smile on your face and all the things that had pissed you off now don’t seem that big of a deal.
