We all

mywords2228

want to be loved and understood and heard.

But, while we we’re looking for others to pay attention to us so that we feel important.

All we get is disappointment and nothing to gain but so much to lose.

If we just accept that we are already loved and we are already someone important.

Then doing what we love will make us feel this feeling that no one in this world could give us and they surely wouldn’t be able to take it away.

I’m a loner and lately it hasn’t been that bad for I’ve found my happiness on my own and I’m relying more on my God and myself now.

Yes, I still like to talk to others but the overwhelming feeling that used to eat me up inside unless I talk to someone is gone.

And I don’t try that hard anymore and maybe I don’t care that much either.

But, I’m still me if you ever still need me, I’m still here fighting and letting go of the things I can’t control.

Daily Prompt: Genius

Their cleverness with words drew me in

the emotions they were able to capture and display.

Were impressive and I could only think and believe they had to be some type of genius

for the words just worked together so beautifully and the picture that was painted in front of my eyes.

I will not ever forget.

Here we go onto the escalator as we head in the direction of our destination

to be free and get time off without stressing over work and anything else.

To finally get to enjoy the breeze and fresh air outside and not just the cold A.C. inside your job.

To be around different people and not feel like you can’t be yourself and just enjoy the time you have to yourself.

The days you got off will be spent enjoying the life that you need a break from and to not have someone question you about anything just felt so nice and relaxing for the feeling of not being overwhelmed is the best feeling in your world right now.

Write three lines inspired by the photo prompt (& give them a title if possible).
Link back to this post (& check the link shows up under the weekly post).
Tag your post with 3LineTales (so everyone can find you in the Reader).

Write to me like we used to do, pen and paper

where I can read your handwriting and trace every letter on the paper.

Let the ink dry so that I can save your letters and read them on days when I need words of encouragement.

Your words were always beautiful and brought peace to my heart and always made me feel the love you had poured out for me.

I will always cherish your words close to my heart for the rest of my life.

Daily Prompt: Fashionable

mywords2228

I love seeing the little elderly ladies that still dress up so nicely.

And their clothes still be  fashionable and they know they look good for they eat up all the compliments.

They are the kindest and funny people who just enjoy everyone’s company.

They are always smiling and seem to be having a great day.

They say thank you all the time and they mean it too.

Their smiles reach their eyes and you just look forward to seeing them.

Daily Prompt: Deny

mywords2228

They deny you the job you want

but you can’t be reliable.

But, you still fight for them to give you a chance

and when they do you blow it.

But, you still can’t accept that the deny is because you choose to do the things you wanted to do.

You deny your own responsibility in the way your life has gone.

But, you do keep fighting for the things that you believe in and maybe one day it will all work out for you.

Daily Prompt: Interest

mywords2228

I want to say I’m interested in you

but who are you and where are you.

The days that could be spent with you are spent being lost in books

Being busy at work doing the things I slightly like half the time.

If only the things I wrote about were true when it came to you and who you were to

get lost in your eyes and your arms and your laugh.

You would interest me by just being you and there wouldn’t be a moment that you haven’t  spent just doing the things you love.

Daily Prompt: Athletic

mywords2228

I was never really athletic and I don’t regret that as I did enjoy watching sports now and then.

Like basketball and then Soccer

But, what I’m not good at never stopped me for not trying new things for

I would find what I was good at and I’m happy with things I am and the things I’m not.

The silence

mywords2228

falls on her life and the noises that light up her life

were nowhere to be found.

Her once colorful life was now nothing but dark grays and black

everything she saw now just seemed so lifeless and hopeless and a dead-end.

Nothing was going to break through the cracks of this new darkness and she didn’t want it to either.

She simply just gave up for the fight had been too much for her and now it was time to just let go and let the storm carry through it out and wherever she may land would be where she was meant to be.

The hope and light that used to be inside her just was gone on and in this life there just didn’t seem like it was possible for her get it back anytime soon.

Days turn into weeks and nothing seemed to be improving for her and those who tried to help lift her up were slightly giving up hope and were about to just accept this was who she had become and they just needed to accept it and love her even more now.

Poetry

Daily Prompt: Popular

mywords2228

To be well liked by so many people

may have seemed like a good thing

at one moment of your life.

But, now you enjoy your alone time

that excludes other people and the peace and quiet.

Unless you listen to you favorite songs well getting lost in a book that keeps you reading for days.

This book you read is one of those well liked books and every time you are out and a bout reading it, someone always comments on how great and wonderful it is.

And for once you just want some peace and quiet and don’t want anyone to want to hangout around you and you feel right now I need to be unlike and just left to do what I want in peace.

So, being popular or have a very well liked object it’s just best to keep to yourself until maybe everyone gets tired of seeing you and will fade into the background.
