I thought

I knew the answers to the riddle that you seem to want me to answer.

But, what I discovered was not the truth I wanted to know

I thought you cared about my well-being  and now  I’ve never felt so lied too.

Your words were the truth I never wanted to know and yet, now that I know I feel free and at peace.

One second I am anger and just can’t shake the feeling that I am feeling right now.

I’m stuck in a hard place that I really don’t see it turning out good for you but, for me there are so many paths to take for you have broken the chains that held me back all these years.

I thought I knew the puzzle I had been building but along the ways a couple of pieces were lost and I found myself trying to find in pieces that would not ever truly fit.

Daily Prompt: Flaunt

As the weather gets nicer more people will want to flaunt their body that they worked so hard on in the winter.

They will want to show off their new clothes as they start to wear less layers and enjoy the sun on their skin.

They will want to be out and about to enjoy the weather and see what is going on around them now that the weather is more enjoyable.

Daily Prompt: Bubble

If I was surrounded by a bubble and had  to go through life with it protecting me from germs and people anything that could hurt me.

I feel sometimes I want that bubble to protect me from all the crazy things that are going on in my life right now for I feel like people are getting to close.

I want to have wall up that will truly keep people out and not have this worry that they are going to act out because things are not going their way and I’m the only one around for them to come for me.

I am lost in the feeling that this bubble is about to be popped and I’m right back where I started from with the people who feel having a layer of protection is not what they are looking for.

I just want to go back to the day when I was a little kid and blowing bubbles on a sunny day was something to look forward too.

Tomorrow

will come and what it holds no one will know but him, my God.

Things may look good tomorrow and all the frustration that is going on is really starting to eat at me.

I try to be strong and fight back but there is so much I have to go through that I just can’t seem to make myself come to the terms that it all going to work out.

Will tomorrow give me the comfort that I need or will it bring on more pain then I want to deal with at this time?

As tune goes by I just hope things will change because I just can’t bear to keep things the same and I just want to get rid of the memories so bad for then the dreams wouldn’t be like this and I wouldn’t be waking up so confused and unclear of why they were in my dreams.

Daily Prompt: Mentor

Someone who taught me something I may not have figured out on my own.

They changed me from the troubled child to a good and kind Adult.

Who realizes that the things that I did in the past helped me to be better in the future and to not take crap from anything one.

I know you would be happy with who I became and I’m glad to have remembered the things you said to me those days.

You were the light to the path I thought I would not go back too but now  I’m on that path again and things have changed since last time.

Your words are the reason I have not given up on my dream and I know one day it will all work out and maybe not the way I want it too.

But it will be the best that I can do.

If only

they knew the truth about your wicked ways.

The breath so hot it feels like a dragon breathing down my neck.

The strength of your words always feel like I’m drowning with bricks tied to my feet.

The days that I count until you’re not around to hunt me down like a wolf looking for its next meal.

The sweat I feel dripping down my neck as I fear what will happen to me if I mess up again in front of you.

No witnesses to watch you take your anger out on me.

I want to be free from this prison I live in only to wander through life not knowing what to do next with my desire to be free at last.

Daily Prompt: Tide

My life is like a tide coming in from the sea.

Good moments come into my life and they sometimes last a lifetime.

But eventually, they go away and drift farther away from me.

Until those good times are long last memories that only seem to come back to me when my mind is unfocused.

Those good times I try to hold on too don’t say for long.

But, when they do come back again it always puts a smile on my face.

Daily Prompt: Observe

I observe you from afar and what I’ve learned is you are a person who has to put up a shield and hide certain things just to get through the day.

You are kind and sweet but certain things in your life has left you bitter and angry and as much as you want to fight the battle feels like a losing one.

The misery you feel just keeps growing day by day and you no longer smile like you used to.

You are broken and I so want to help you but, like everyone else, I am on the other side of the wall you put up to protect yourself.

The pain I see it flick every now and then through your sad and blank brown eyes, I want to so bad to erase that pain you feel for once and for all.

Maybe one day you will let me in and then things will be different between us and you will smile again and the wall will be down at least for me.

Watching you as you try to sneak up on me late one night and all I want to do is get away from you but, you start to move faster towards me. 

And before I know it you’re upon me and all I want to do is get out of this situation which all started with a little eye contact here and there. 

I wasn’t and still not interested in what you have to offer and at the last-minute, the door opens and automatic closes behind me and all I see before the doors close are your eyes still watching me.
