Daily Prompt: Wonder

mywords2228

I wonder what it would be like if I my life was different and not in I want to go back to the past and change it all.

But, in a way as I Wonder what it would be life if I start to change things that are in the present and can be changed for the good of me.

I want to feel like I have that peace of mind for once and not losing it after being up for so long.

The feeling of being truly relaxed is something I wonder about as I move around trying to do so much with only a very little limited amount of time.

I wonder what I would be thinking about if my mind wasn’t so tired and over worked to the point of no real talking ever happening.

There is a lot to wonder about and not everything is about me when I wonder about certain things in my life and others.

Daily Prompt: Uncompromising

mywords2228

He was determined to get his way and yet I wasn’t having that 

I stood there as he spoke his lies and sounded all type of crazy. 

Not reacting to the haste and untruthful words he wanted to say because he felt he has the right to try to belittle me. 

I stood there doing what needed to be done and stared into his eyes as he continued to go on and on. 

No react from me for I Just don’t have time for those who are stubborn in their ways and choose not to listen or decide today at this very moment is the time to act a fool. 

To be haste does not get you anywhere and I’ve learned trying to talk these people off a cliff never seems to work for all you do is fuel them up. 

So they can attack again and again until in their mind and eyes they have broken you and no one is about to break my spirit because, they choose to be ignorant.

Green everywhere and all I think about is happiness and joy and how bright everything is.

It makes me realize that I needed a little joy in my life and this little reminder made me feel like even in the darkness the light will shine through. 

I just have to look deeper and through all the mess and maybe the next couple of days will be brighter and happier because, life always needs something small or big to change it from bad to good.

What

mywords2228

was I thinking when I made this move and everything was so good now I let this place rob me of my happiness.

And it’s time to take that control back and feel good even though I am stuck here for now.

The timing of everything is not great and I’m just trying to clear my mind so that things will be better.

But, the tunnel of which I can find my way out just seems long and tiring.

Somehow I find the strength to get through this even when I just don’t want to fight the battle that seems like a loss to begin with.

I just can’t find the way to walk away and be like everyone else that left before without a word.

I want to explain but, at the same time I realize there is nothing left to say and even if there were I don’t think you would understand anyway.

Daily Prompt: Fact

mywords2228

The facts of life nothing good comes from something bad other than you wake up and realize you regret what you did last night.

You always want the facts because you rather know what is going on before you walk into a room and all of a sudden everyone is quiet.

The facts go a long way in life and they help you tell the story of the past because you have the facts to be a storyteller.

Without the facts there is nothing to tell and without the facts you have a lot of angry people trying to figure out what to do with nothing.

I like to have all the facts and to learn more about something I may not had all the facts about at the time.

All it takes is one person to share the facts with someone and everything will become better and possibly easier as well.

Daily Prompt: Branch

mywords2228

Like branches everything in my life  that once seemed to matter has broken off and fallen from my life.

At first it stun like a bee  but, soon the loneliness was filled with new happiness and certain things that I had forgotten were coming back to me.

The new branches that grew into my life were stronger than the last and as the vines wrapped around me trying to protect me from the things that once hurt me.

I was grateful for the pain that had ended and the healing that had begun for I always knew a new beginning was coming my way.

Daily Prompt: Typical

mywords2228

I forget what a typical day could be like for well nothing is the same from day-to-day

everything is changing and, I can’t agree that I like it at all.

I’m stuck in a rough spot and the options are very low for me to walk away but, I’m not giving up just yet.

The one typical thing that seems  to not change is my ability to write something each day even on the days that I don’t want to look at words or read them.

I somehow find the strength to let it all out and go about my day knowing that well there is nothing short of hope that things will workout.

For

mywords2228

I have forgotten all that have been around me when times were rough

as I live in the moments that are good.

But, soon the darkness comes back and I am faced with the truth  did I let all that was good just walk away because I was being ungrateful to them.

Time has gone by and I just don’t know how much time has gone by that I’ve reached out and talked to you.

Life just keeps moving forward and all I want to do is just not be so tired from trying to do more than I am capable of doing.

No moment of rest just filling and filling and yet there is no end to the mess that we are in and the light that shined in at first now is just a spot in the corner.

You begin to wonder how long did I walk around in the dark ignoring the light that was trying to guide me home.

Because I thought I knew what was best for me and the path that I am on just doesn’t feel right anymore or maybe it never did but there was something good on the path so the stress and pain wasn’t so bad.

For that someone was taking all the hits and nothing was getting through to me but now that something is saying it is time to step off the road that is leading you no where good.

It’s time to listen to me and follow me from the hell you are living in and come into the light where nothing bad can touch you unless that thing was meant to show you the way to a better place.

To feel this overwhelming love and peace and to know that someone is always watching your back even when you feel you  have come and delivered.

But, your life purpose is not yet over and it’s time to take a walk down a new path now and I hope you are ready.

Daily Prompt:Fabric

mywords2228

The sound of ripping fabric was loud in my ear as you ripped your shirt to bandage up my arm from the fall I took earlier.

I said I was sorry for ruining one of your shirts but you said it was nothing for helping me was worth it.

Seeing me in pain was worst than ripping up a shirt that could be easily be replaced but I was irreplaceable in your eyes.

That day may have not started off great with me being so clumsy but, it surely ended on a good night.

As I sat on my pouch watching and listening to nature as we sipped on some hot chocolate as the wind blew all around us.

The moon was so bright and the stars were few but, we both enjoyed the sound of peace and even though we knew the quiet wouldn’t last long we enjoyed the time we had with it.

Your

mywords2228

words play over and over in my head like a favorite song

I don’t want to forget the things you said to me.

Every word that came out your mouth was like music to my ears and the way you smiled and winked at me.

I couldn’t stop myself from just staring at you, you knew all the things I had been going through and all you wanted to do was help ease my pain and stress.

The end to pain was not a slow and long one but fast and intense, you held my hand and told me that this path was made for me and now it was time for me to survive.

You were my rock and the best person to relate too you had it all and you showed me that I can have that too.

Always positive about the outcomes of life and didn’t let the evil that is in the world bring you down.

You were my archer and you always held me down and in the end I was grateful for the time we had together and as time goes by I hear from you less and less.

But, you will always be on my mind and in my heart, my calmer of all storms.
