Quote of the day
Month: April 2018
Daily Prompt: Thwart
This wasn’t how the plan was supposed to go and she knew he had thwarted her plans again for it just wasn’t ready for the next step.
He thought he could be brave and well take on his fear yet again, but he couldn’t and well he didn’t want her to know of this fear he just yet.
So he made others get involve and be the reason they couldn’t go this time or that other time and so on.
But, she was tired of trying to make this plan come true so she simply just stopped trying and made other plans with him.
Until one day she just asked her right out of the blue what his problem was and that he better tell her now for she will not be defeated again.

Everything
is out of control and all I want to do is chill.
Not think about all the bills and feel like my life is becoming like a bunch of drills.
Do that and that until I just can’t move and then things start to move faster and what are you doing back there.
I can’t answer all the questions for that’s not in my title, I want to work hard but last time I checked I was only getting one paycheck.
Will you worry that you really didn’t work hard enough because it was all on me?
Why do I worry when I know what the end result will be.
So stressed out like I’m about to take a test, I know I know as much as I can but no matter how I look at this situation.
Something always seems out-of-place, will I ever get enough space to have time to figure it out before it’s been too long and opportunity is up.

Quote of the day
I just
want to let go of all the frustration go because I’m tired of being mad and unsatisfied by the things that this life has been throwing my way.
I don’t want to be bothered with and so I start to distance myself for I just want to survive but, I don’t want to be involved anymore.
I’m here in this place with you but, I’m not going to keep giving myself because well I’m done and I don’t care anymore.
I know that now I just see what this really is now and I won’t sink anymore for I’m not about to save them all when in the end I’m just losing myself.
No one wants or needs to be saved at this time and even if I try which I have, it just comes back around as a failed attempt.
I’m done jumping through the many hops to only not please myself but no one else either.
I have learned that giving too much just ends up with you begging for some help when all your lifeboats are gone and there is no one around to save you.
Because they didn’t care in the first place to make sure you had a way out, you were dispensable and they had no desire to keep you around.
You were used up and washed out and well now you didn’t look like someone they needed to depend on, for there is always someone better just waiting for you to drop the ball.

Like a blur you were gone before I could capture the real beauty in you that day, the only thing I saw was the yellow in your skirt and the black of your one boot.
You said you would slow down and try to enjoy these little moments in life that we bot h wanted to enjoy together was slowly cut short.
You were gone and I didn’t know how to feel or how to get in touch with you, for your phone was not picking up and all I wanted to hear was love and calmness of your voice that day.

Daily Prompt: Haul
You wanted so badly to haul the words that would make them all be so shocked because you were tired of hearing them complain over and over to you.
You wanted to haul the words that they threw out at you because they were mad about something that had nothing to do with you.
You wanted to haul words and possibly things just to end the anger and frustration that had nothing to do with you.
You wanted to haul the words of I don’t care because well it’s you life and right now you are not listening to me.
So I’ll haul everything to the side and move on and let you figure it out on your own.

Daily Prompt: Frigid
The water was freezing cold that day and anyone who would go in would be a fool.
It had been a bitter winter and the coldness just didn’t seem to be going away fast enough.
Spring had arrived and still it was too cold to say it was spring
how much longer will the cold stick around and how much longer did we want to deal with bundling up and trying to not get sick.
The cold air was putting us all in no mood to be out and about when it was so much warmer in your own home.
If you didn’t need to go out then you just didn’t go out that day, the cold air had us all ready to take a trip away from here for the mess was far from cleaned up and the cold air wasn’t the only thing cold around this place.

I want
to say that words are enough and well it just isn’t this time and no matter how many I write I know the way I feel just won’t go away.
If I just get it all out maybe then things will seem so much lighter and maybe just maybe they will leave me alone.
Will my questions ever be answered and will there be somewhere new to go to when this is all over.
Will the path that I am on just go away once I move on to the right one for me to cross and travel on next.
Will I look back on this day and realize that maybe all the answers were always around me but, I choose to ignore them for I just wasn’t ready to let it all go.
For I can’t move on with the same stuff from before, everything new and everything old just can’t mix and match in this new place of peace and understanding for life is way too short not to have some tricks on one’s sleeves.

Sometimes
I wonder if I let these things happen to me because I feel I’m not worthy of being treated better.
I feel like this will not ever end for they own me now and the way out is just not something I am blessed with.
Some come and go and yet I am still here through it all.
The pain will not end and so I feel it all everyday like it’s something brand new is happening to me.
But, it’s not new and it does not decrease but it increases until I can’t remember when it ends for by then I would have already passed out.
Sometimes I think what if and why me and then I’m usually blessed with not knowing and I guess now I’m okay with the answers to these thoughts are not answered.
For eventually I forget about those things and move on to other things in hope that things will get better in the end.

Quote of the day
I can’t
keep going on like this
hiding the pain behind it all.
The tears that fall
are not for a show or attention.
Because, well I rather be left alone
but no matter what they keep pushing their way into my safe place.
The place that keeps me whole when everything else in this world is falling to crap and the outcome is not looking very good.
I know I’m supposed to be stronger but I’ve always been the weak one and everything well is all an act to just keep the real me locked away.
For she is really fragile and I’m not ready to let her out for this world would crush her and I really can’t let that happen.
So those that I’ve let in I’m sorry for my walls are so about to go back up for it’s not safe to let anyone in right now.
I’ve seen the truth and well it’s not pretty and well I just don’t want to be out in the open anymore.
So goodbye I will miss you but, I know its saver on my own and I now know that I’ve made the best decision.
For I’m free and everyday I wake up and walk on the beach and the sun beats down on me and I’m at peace.
No more stress or pressure now I’m free and in a place that makes me feel free and at the end of the day I smile instead of crying myself to sleep.
The ending for me is happiness and not what it could have been complete misery with no light to guide me out of that hell.

Daily Prompt: Churn
Sometimes the things in life are rough and messed up and all you want to do is blend them up.
When your done blending it all together, you hope that things would smooth out and for once you could smile about what’s going on around you.
But, right now you just want to let go and not think of the things that are outside your life the one that is full of peace and love.
The one that keeps you on your toes and not the one that makes you want to run away and not look back.
The peace is slowly ticking away and the time is eating away at what used to be me.
Can I blend together a life that would be smooth as butter or will it be more lumpy and unclear to where it will end.
