I wish it was you I was seeing on the other side of this hole that used to be filled with lots or love and laughter. 

Now it just so empty with broken promises that never seem to be happening for me, I just to hope that something will come of this situation. 

Will this hole ever become whole again and will my smiles ever reach my eyes again, or will I be so hallow and empty until the end of my time.

Why

mywords2228

do I try to fit in when I’m better at standing out.

I’m always showing you different sides of me for I’m not just one-sided person but, who you see is what you get when it comes to being true to myself.

I know that when you see me for me and you get to know everything about me then you will understand everything about me.

Nothing will be a surprise to you and, you will know when something is not right with me.

I don’t want to hide anything anymore and so I’m ready to let it all out and finally be free from it all.

Daily Prompt: Explore

mywords2228

To explore the world and get out of one place is what I want to do for

being stuck in the same box for too long is no longer pleasant. 

The days are long and the places are well, all the same, nothing new coming my way feels like a maze walking around seeing the same things until you finally find your way out. 

I know my time to explore will be limited eventually, so, for now, I will take the time to see what the world has to offer me. 

For living with regret is not something I plan on doing now or ever. 

I want to have books full of memories of the time I travel here and explored everything and tells these stories I have to anyone who will listen.

Daily Prompt: Radiant

mywords2228

You shine like a light that I never want to go out

I know that things can be tough and difficult at times but I don’t want you to lose who you are to please those that don’t care in the first place.

When you’re quiet and staying to yourself I know that something is going on and all I want to do is help you through things time.

But, you’ve been hurt before and your trust is on lockdown and I just wish that you would shine your light on me and see the truth soon.

For I’m here for you and I’m not going anywhere for I have so much time to offer that I know that you will let me in soon.

Because you are not the type of person that lets someone sit around for long without telling them off.

Daily Prompt:Betrayed

mywords2228

I let you in when there was a time not many people knew what was going on with me.

You were there for me more than those who had known me all or most of all my life.

I trusted you and yet you choose to betray me with the words you knew would hurt me the worst.

You took all that you knew and turned it against me and in the end, I saw you for what you were a useless and heartless man.

Maybe one day all this will come back and bite you in the ass but for how I know I will have a hard time just keeping it all so small.

Daily Prompt: Toxic

mywords2228

It’s always better to leave the toxic things in your life behind and move forward into something brighter and wiser.

I won’t sit by and let them drain me of all the goodness I worked so hard to put into my life.

This moment the toxic things will not overcome me for I will surpass the things that try to drain me and wear me out.

I stand here brave enough to lead the way in this place that has been so dark for so long.

I’m not afraid of what I may come in contact with in this place for I stop fearing stuff a long time ago.

For fear held me back from so many get opportunities that I just grew tired of standing on the sidelines while everyone else is doing what they love to do and pushing so many boundaries.

I too want to be great in my own way.
