Daily Prompt: Deplete

mywords2228

He depleted all the funds from your joint account and he wasted no time to get away and never to be seen again.

You thought you could trust him and you felt mad and sad all at the same time.

But, the truth was he did more deplete on your energy and time then on the money because most of the money was his and not much of yours.

For, you learned a long time ago that what is your’s is best kept with you and someone who wants to spend all the time will take more than their own in the end.

You were relieved that the account was finally closed and he was gone.

For you didn’t sign up to do all the work on your own for there was always the two of you and in the end.

It was just you and even though it was a struggle you did it all on own and no one could tell you that you didn’t work hard in the end.

Which way

mywords2228

do you  need  me to go for you to finally notice me or

which way should I go so that we end up on the same path again?

How long will this go on without either of us knowing which way to go

for all we want to do is to meet up and finally find the time to lay it all out.

Please just let me get it all out for you open your mouth, for I know I won’t ever truly get it all out if I let you talk first.

I know that this day had to happen in order for us to finally get it together and end up possibly together.

Only if you let me have the time to prove to you that I’m not like the others and the trust and faith you have in me will only show you the light and the darkness because without the bad there wouldn’t be good to work on or look forward too.

I am the way for you and I just need you to hear me out and let me be what you need more than anything else.

Daily Prompt: Glimmer

mywords2228

The faint light was coming through the window today as I sat inside knowing I wasn’t going out.

I said my peace and did what I had to do but, for now, I was going to rest and not think about much.

As my days became different and light again, nothing was holding me down any more the faint light was the sign I had been looking for all this time.

Now the faint happiness that I felt that day was pleasant and I hope it would last longer than the time I have off now.

I don’t want

mywords2228

much just some of your time for I know that we are both very busy. 

And these times together are precious and right now I need them more than before, for I see what my future will hold. 

I know that it won’t last if I don’t give you time and calm my still hear for right now we may be going to two different directions and know that maybe there is no part in this path that we end up in the same place. 

I am okay with that for the time I get with you while I’m still here and you are living out your life. 

Both of us, trying to figure out what is going to work out and what is best to stop thinking about. 

But, right now were not stressing and we know that the end game is being able to stay true to ourselves and if we end up meeting up again then things will be great and we just can’t wait to see what life has on hold for us. 

I know that the moments I get with you are very few and well things just don’t seem to be giving more but, I’m happy with what God has given me so far and I won’t complain anymore I know it could be worst. 

I will see you someday on that path that leads you to a place that truly brings peace into your life.

I know that you didn’t expect to see me today but, I just couldn’t leave you alone today and so here I am at your window watching your face light up like seeing me just made your day.

I was pretty pleased with myself that day and that you still talk about that day to everyone that you know and who will listen.

Daily Prompt: Disrupt

mywords2228

I just needed some peace and quiet just for a little while and then you came along and disrupted my moment of peace.

A moment that I treasure and only can last for many five seconds to a minute of two.

But,  I guess by now I should be used to the fact that nothing in this place last long so I should accept and expect that nothing good last for long and when it ends that there is always a mess to clean up.

And frankly I’m tired of cleaning them up and feeling the stress more than I really want to feel it right now.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 66

A forest is a place of sound but a sound that puts you at ease and the thought of being out in nature is always relaxing.

This time to explore and not think about the things that are coming up and you have to finish when you get back from this trip.

You smile at this moment and hope that things could be this peaceful and easy again and you wonder when will you get another chance like this to get away and just rest easy before you become too wore out to enjoy these moments.

Let’s get away!

Poetry

Daily Prompt: Luminescent

mywords2228

They always said I burned a different way and when I light up everyone who choose to ignore me.

Would stop what they were doing and stop and stare like for the first time they were seeing me for me.

And I wasn’t ugly or strange anymore for they finally saw the beauty of me and it wasn’t just within me.

I always enjoyed their looks of awe but, I’ve always known that I wasn’t something to look away from and even though it took them this long.

I wouldn’t mind if they never saw me for what I am for I know the only thing that matters is how I see my self at the end of the day.

Daily Prompt: Rush

mywords2228

I don’t want to rush for I live for these moments when life just slows down for well I’m not in a hurry to go anywhere.

I wish I could be off more for the peace I get from not hearing someone else other than my own voice.

I don’t want to deal with things that are mostly out of my hands but here I am dealing with stuff that happened before I came along.

The stress I could definitely do without as I’m tired of rushing around and just for once would like to not rush and just enjoy these moments for sooner or later these moments will be fewer.

Time seems to be long when you’ve been around for a while but the feeling of not rushing to get somewhere is one of the best moments for me.

I don’t

mywords2228

how to feel right now for I have so many emotions running through me.

I am happy but yet I am sad and tired and feeling lost but with a somewhat focus on moving forward.

I want to admit so many things but, I’ve always been the one to keep it to myself and I start to wonder who truly knows me.

I’m sometimes open up about the things that go on in my life but, other times I keep it all to myself.

I wonder if I’m helping myself or hurting my chances at really seeing this world for what it truly is.

I know I’m trapped in a box that well always seems to be going in the same circle that only seems to drain me.

Nothing seems to bring much joy to me when I’m in that box because returning to it is not something I look forward too.

I can feel my smile slipping off my face as I walk through that place, I try to be positive and hopeful but, that pretending just isn’t happening anymore.

I don’t know when I will finally let it all out but sometimes it’s right there on my tongue and I just want to scream it.

And frankly, I don’t care how I look to the people on the outside for I’m done caring and well it feels freeing to know that this is not the end for me.

In time my plan will come to be and the scream will feel so right and strong for damn I will wonder why I waited so long.
