Even

when you don’t want to open up and tell me what wrong. 

Your eyes always tell me the truth and even when you try to hide behind  the mess you make to cover up the pain. 

I always in the end can read it all on your face and when I confirm all that is wrong and work with you to fix it. 

You seem so surprised that I took the time to figure out what’s going on with you, the minute we became close and I got to know the real you. 

I was hooked and didn’t want to let go for you were a special gem to me and the light that came from you made the darkness in me disappear. 

You were a perfect beat for the song of my life and together we connected a song like no other and as we grew together the song begun to tell our story. 

A story I was sure would end up with a beautiful sunset and many morning waking up knowing we were not alone for we had each other.

I know

that this is the right move for me as I take a deep breath and let go completely.

I fall so fast the thrill of falling hasn’t felt this good in so long.

I have no doubt that everything will work out as I come down and finally hit the water.

coming up for air just feels so great and nothing is left holding me down.

As I float around in the water I feel so much better than I felt before.

This hot sunny day could only be enjoyed in the water and enjoying nature in all it’s beauty.

As I get out there you stand with a towel and smile on your face and I’ll admit this time you were right.

I so needed this after the week I had.

Am I

only as great as you make me lord.

I don’t tend to stick out for I am not sure I’m ready for all the attention lord.

I like the peace of not being someone everyone is looking too for answers and when everything is not calm.

To be thankful that you always here for me and when I feel like too much is being pushed on me your always there to take some of the burden off of me.

Putting you first is the best thing I can do in my life for you guide the way for me and when I come to you everything seems less stressful than if I relay only on myself.

Today will be a great day because you will be by my side every step of the way and I know nothing that will or can happen is too much for us to handle together.

My mind is clear and I take this time to just enjoy the little things in life that you have blessed me with and everything else will come when the time is right.

To you I say thanks for today is possible because of you.

It’s

surprising what one day can do for a person

the things that are holding me down have vanished.

The smile is back on their face and all the pain is being washed away by the rain and as the sun comes out today they have not even been so happy to wake up to this day.

The words are coming out clearer than before and no time is to be wasted as she moves for the door not looking back at all that has been left behind.

She knows that these trials are not fully gone and the next round will come and she will be ready and will try her best to remember she is not in this alone.

It maybe be silent now but the noise will come and as she gets lost in it, I just hope she looks around now and then and makes sure she still in a good place.

For only the next day will tell if things are getting on the right path and she will be stronger at the end.

She will leave all the old things behind and buy new things for she wants her emotions to be strong and in one piece as she makes this journey will fewer people than before.

But, she has to have faith that it will all work out in the end because, she knows herself more than anyone else possibly could.

from all the stress that is getting to me I just need to get away and just be relaxed with no overwhelming thought of what I didn’t get to or what I could have done better. 

I stand out here just trying to capture this peace I’m hoping to find when I’m away and enjoying the time I have off with no care in the world of the outside things. 

Just enjoying the quite and nature all around me as I know soon I will be sailing back into the port and be back in the reality I left behind.

That day

was so peaceful and when the sunset it was a great part of our day that was so relaxing and breath-taking for me.

I know that you were smiling so big that day because this day was the one day we were both looking forward too.

It was a day that would change so much not just for us but, for everyone we know and as the day came down to an end we couldn’t help but feel so grateful to be together and happy at the same time.

heart is beating so slowly as I close my eyes

and let this feeling of calm wash right over me.

I feel the stress fade away from me and I wonder what could I have done differently and why do I feel like this path of difficulty is never-ending.

I know that things are not always in my control but in this moment I feel my eyes relaxing and the aches are releasing from every part of me as I breathe in and out.

I dare not over stress about the matters that fall in front of me as I listen to the noise around me and pinpoint the sound that is so sweet.

I don’t dare to open my eyes as I feel this moment will vanish the moment I take my eyes off of all that is going on around me.

Let me stay here just for a little while for the storm is not yet to arrive for another hour or too.

Do you

see me as I lie here letting you see me as me

I’m hiding behind anything just laying here bare and vulnerable.

I am still in this moment when life is at peace for me and no stress is overpowering me.

I lie here wondering  what today will be like when I  get back up and face the world head first.

I sometimes have to calculate the moves I make in order to get ahead of the trouble I know that is coming.

I know that on the outside it looks like I have it all together but on the inside I’m a mess and all I want to do is scream and let out the frustration.

But, for now I will be calm and I will do my best to be up beat and lively when I stand in front of you today.

I release you

my darkness for you will no longer suffocate me from the happiness that I’m trying to enjoy.

From the words that I’m trying to get out and share for words are truly all I have to express my troubles.

To let out the stress that captures me throughout my day that sometimes feels like I can’t run away from.

But, the time for darkness is over for the light is coming and there is only room for one thing to overpower me and right now it will be the light that guides my way.

That helps me escape the place that can make me feel so small and not worth the knowledge at the end of the road.

The light knows my truth and has seen my pain and knows that I am strong enough to get through it and I am strong enough to experience every moment even the ones I don’t want to be apart of.

It’s been

rough these past days it felt like a strong storm just kept hitting me hard to the point that getting  back up just didn’t seem possible.

The tear flowing down my face was like a bad rain storm that would come and pour so hard then disappear as quickly as it came along.

The pain just felt so unbearable that all I could do was sit or lay still for a great amount of time.

Nothing came to my mind as the day begun and as the day ended, time went by and nothing seemed to change in my mood.

The light was fighting so hard to overcome the darkness and just when it was winning the darkness would come and blow the light right out.

Time and rest seemed to help but, not for long and soon the things that felt so good were things that drew  no interest to me.
