The day is coming to an end as the sun sunsets and all try to finish up their work for the day.

Thinking about what they would be doing when they get home and will they be relaxed enough to enjoy their time of freedom.

I like the quietness as the boats are abandoned as everyone is enjoy their down tine and hope to be wiser in the decision they made there today.

Don’t let them know you are hearing every word coming out of their mouth right now.

You know what they are saying has nothing to do with you but you just can’t help listening so hard at this moment.

As they go around the corner, you just want to know what is going on and can you be apart of it.

You don’t want to let them know you heard them but you want to know what’s going on because this may be an opportunity that could benefit you the most.

Even if it all works out you may want to calm down because the truth is you feel you are more valuable than you really are.

It’s a shame that you don’t see what a mess you are and what a mess you are making because, you feel you have and will get what you want in the end but that is not how it’s truly going to go.

Alone

Alone I sit here with no worry in the world right now, my mind hasn’t been this clear in so long.

The peace of knowing nothing will bother me as I sit here and wait for my day to pick up the pace.

No rushing for me as I look at the boat we used to paddle out together on, Oh how we wished to escape from this place that brought us more sorrow than joy in the end.

You always  smiled at me even on your worst days, you found a little joy.

Daily Prompt: Broken

We all feel broken sometimes when life just keeps cutting us down.

You want to feel less broken because you don’t want to feel weak.

You want all your wounds to heal up and you want to move on and smile again.

You don’t want to go through having to pretend that everything is okay when it’s not.

You don’t want to feel like because your broken, good things won’t come your way anymore.

You want to believe that you’re not alone on this pain.

That someone has your back even when you feel like your not strong enough to do it by yourself.

Just because your broken doesn’t mean that is the end to the battle your fighting right now.

If only

you could save some time in your pocket and store it for later.

When you just need a little quite time to a very long day.

You’re tired of solving everyone else problems and not your own because you just don’t have time for yourself.

You try to find the answers to what would this moment be life if I just had more time to appreciate it and really savor it for all the things it could offer me.

You beg for more time just to find your way out of this endless path that doesn’t look like its ended up with the answers you really wanted.

You want to feel the pull that this is the right thing to do and smile because you are having the time of your life right now.

You want to feel like every question that is in your mind has a point and needs to be answered and right now is the time to seek them.

If only you saw yourself the way I see you and if only you truly believed you were doing your best at the end of the day.

Daily Prompt: Juxtapose

I think about the things that are happening now and even though I don’t want to deal with most of the mess that is happening around me right now.

I know if I compare where my life is right now to what it was before I know I’d probably pick now.

I know that things are getting crazy but, there are little blessing here and there that make me strong enough to continue on this journey called my life.

I know if I compare who I was back than to who I am today I’d probably shake my head and tell that girl she deserves so much more than what she is being offered and to know that her worth is more than just how much money she is making.

You

mywords2228

had so much to look forward too and maybe you had it all planned out.

But, the day you prepared to walk across that stage felt like the day you had been waiting for.

You were excited and just extreme ready for this day to hurry up for you were just so ready to get it over with.

Soon it ended and the next day was a new journey for you and one that would go in a direction you never thought it would.

The struggle that became your life was overwhelming and not ending anytime soon.

You tried it all to just keep yourself together during this difficult and dark time, It was long and then the light truly shined down on you and things started to look up for you.

But, you became so busy that the little things in life seem not to be as important to you or you just didn’t have the time to enjoy them.

You wanted so bad to just have a moment of peace because you were tired of it all and no matter the little time you got off the state of your mind and body and soul were already ruined and damaged.

You still try to fix the damage that has been done because you just want to be at peace again and to just feel happy for more than two days at a time.

Daily Prompt: Famous

Being well-known doesn’t mean that you have to be  famous

you could just be some who does an amazing job that others are happy to spread the good word of your hard work around.

We all want  to notice in some type of way and maybe it doesn’t have to end with millions of people.

Maybe a couple hundred or fewer people know how great you are will be enough and you will feel successful and honored that someone out there is truly thinking about you.

A little lost

mywords2228

for words these days when everything starts to feel like it’s blending all together and you just aren’t spending your time wisely.

You feel like you want to do much more with what you have been offered but, because of the situation life seems to be going in you just don’t get to enjoy it as much.

You want to say more but, you’re so far from feeling like yourself that nothing seems to be helping you get out of this place where you are stuck.

Feeling like you have lost your way and this life you seem to not enjoy so much isn’t helping you find yourself or helping do much at all but feel empty at the end of the day.

I don’t want to say yes to you or anyone right now, for I just want to be left alone and not bothered. 

I just need things to be quite and I just don’t want to fight this anymore for if I don’t get this break I’m going to scream. 

I don’t want to fall apart because of the stress is just too much so I will say no because, saying yes is not helping me and right now I’m barely holding on.
