Daily Prompt: Parallel

It seems that we will never be on the same page in our life

no matter how much we try the end results are always the same.

I’m wanting to do things that you would not want to do even thou I would try anything for you.

I know opposites attract but this time being so unlike is just creating a tension that can not be improved at this point.

I didn’t think this day would come and the nerves that are running through me seem to be too much.

I am trying to be calm about this situation for this is something I’ve been dreaming about but, didn’t think it would ever be possible.

But, today is the day all my dreams come true and I’m excited to see how it all works out.

Daily Prompt: Genie

All she wanted was to be free so

tired of being used for three wishes here and there.

She was not happy with the outcome that everyone was taking from asking for three things they wanted the most.

Because she knows three wishes was never enough for them and they begin to resent her and try to trick others into wishing more for them again.

Until someone says no and wishes for themselves to have money and anything else they think they need.

Do we need three wishes to make one’s life better

Or do three wishes take away from true happiness in life?

I so needed a night out and some good drinks and laughter for it’s been rough lately and time just seems to be going by way to fast for me.

I’m always tired and the time for fun just doesn’t seem to be possible lately, I wanted to try the lobster today and anything new.

For I knew tomorrow I would be so worn out from a night I had been waiting for way too long and now that it’s here I don’t ever want to look back again.

I’m not

sure I can keep doing this as my head feels like it’s about it’s about to explore.

I didn’t work this hard for you to push me so hard that I’m completely falling apart.

I want to tell you off so many times but here I am just shaking my head because this is beneath ridiculous at this point.

No time to think just more stuff piled on me in hope that it will get better.

The quest seems to fall short and I just don’t know what to do now for this could have been someone’s else path but here I am living out what feels like a nightmare wide awake.

With no hope of it ending on a good note for the good things seem to pass me by at this point in my life.

Daily Prompt: Fret

I keep telling myself that there is no point in over worrying about the things in life that seem like they are out of your control.

Am I worrying about the right thing or are they worried about the wrong thing?

I know they are because I’m giving up more of me and in the end, I feel lost and well they are happy that they don’t have to overstress.

Because to the rescue here, I come but at the end of the day what about my worries?

Or do my worries not matter and am I just wasting my time for no one cares or worries about what happens to me?

Daily Prompt: Crank

They want to crank up the pressure to try to make you be able to work through the heat even when you shouldn’t be pushed that far.

But, do they care no they do not and so when you end up cranky and not acting like yourself.

What do they have to say nothing because as long as you do what they say they don’t care about your whereabouts.

So cranky is what I am when I think about those people and all that I do, in the end, is it worth it.

I love you

Those words I haven’t heard in so long make them seem like some fairytale your grandparents used to tell you.

Those words spoken by the right person has you feeling like nothing bad could really touch you.

You know that the pain that waits for you some days would all not seem so bad if those words were spoken to you.

But, like a bedtime story as you grow up they are no longer needed to fall asleep and are soon forgotten.

You want more than anything to feel like if you disappeared someone would do all they could to find you.

If only to tell you that they love you just one more time.

You know there are some you used to say this too and now those words just don’t fit in your life anymore.

Like time has made them no longer acceptable in this situation.

You want to say those words so bad but at this moment who would be around to receive them.

Daily Prompt: Song

This song always helped me get through the tough times in my life, I just put in my headphones and listened to this song for hours and nothing could put me at peace like it could do.

It always felt like this song was written for me and no matter what I was going through it could relate to every moment and second.

I didn’t know what I would do if I didn’t have this song to listen to when the noise around me was just too much.

When the light just wouldn’t come on and all I could do was sit in the darkness and wish things would change for me soon.

Do you hear

me here as I sit here to wait for you to arrive, repeating each word out loud until I remember each word.

I know that if this speech doesn’t go right it won’t just embarrasses me but you too and I just don’t think I can let my failure be yours too.

I woke up this morning with all the confidence in the world that things were going to go well.

Now, as it pours down raining outside all the good luck I felt before just feels like it got washed away.

As panic set in I want so bad for this to work out because I just can’t continue on with knowing that there is more out there and I have so much to offer.

Just when I am so close to having a panic attack, I get a text from you saying just breathe I’m on my way sorry traffic was crazy.

Today will go down just the way you pictured it, a win that you deserve and will receive because you are what they are looking for and they would be fools to pass you by.

Just like that the switch of doubt is turned back off and I start to get my confidence back and when you arrive.

I already know that tonight will be a success because  I am me because of you and all the support you have given me during this time.

Tonight was one of the best wins I have gotten in a while but, I know soon the look on your face will be the greatest win I could have asked for.

To forever with you and to slowly climbing the ladder of success one day at a time.
