I don’t know

where things are going and yet I feel like there is so much more that I could have right now.

I know that I’m supposed to be able to do a lot but, right now I’m tired and two days just doesn’t seem enough anymore.

I don’t have the strength to do anything or I just don’t feel like doing anything when I do have the time.

My body doesn’t want to run around and do the things it does doing the week, my soul feels like it’s searching for more in this life.

The words are on repeat and so they are not coming out as much when the inspiration is basically not existing.

The feeling of being overwhelmed is overpowering and sometimes I have to stop and just sit for a while before I can get myself together again.

Even though we are so close my unique style always set me apart when it comes to you, my  bright colors always made me be the first one they pick and you always second.

You didn’t care for how bright I was for with all that I had going on the outside you felt there is was something I was hiding in the inside and you just needed to know.

Even though we were different and people pick me most of the time you know how I feel towards you and that’s, that we are still there for each other in the end for I care for you my friend.

You

light up my life in a way no else has ever been able to do before.

The light that comes from you doesn’t just touch me but can touch everyone around us.

I’ve seen how when you walk into a room how you light up everyone’s mood and everyone is always wanted to be near you.

Your voice is so welcoming that little kids always stand next to you and listen when you have something to say.

I know I always enjoy the time we share together, there’s never a dark moment when your around.

You happy when you set me free from this life you said had so much more to offer me these days.

Did you ever think about how I really would feel about you leaving me that day and how long it took me to get to this place of peace I’m living in now.

I reach up to the sky and I feel so blessed to feel the light shining down on me this day.

I know that who I am today is because of me and that day you walked away from me, made me realize how much I was leaning on you and not standing on my own two feet.

I need to be balance of myself before I could ever really lean on someone else and now I’m more happy than I could like possible.

I’ve been

running all my life from something that could eat me up inside 

and many may not know what this thing was and how much it controlled my life. 

Some days were rough and I just didn’t want to deal and so I kept running and I wouldn’t stop until this feeling would leave me and I was at peace with myself again.

Things used to feel like this great pressure was always pushing on me and no matter how much I tried to push back it would win and I would become so weak.

I wouldn’t know what to do but, let this pull win and that it control me as I just didn’t care and life became so dull and my focus was way off and everything felt like I was in a storm. 

And no matter how hard I ran way this feeling would resurface and knock me back on my butt and as I reached out it would help but the pull will be something I live with until this day.

Long

journey ahead of me and I’m ready to take it and get away from this place. 

I need this trip to forget all the things that I’ve been stressing about and I just want to read and lose myself in something other than my life problems and the things I want to do. 

I want to feel like I’m doing something I want to do and I’m enjoying this time that I have to myself for this trip will be so long that I won’t know what day it is and I wont have a care in the world. 

As days and weeks fly by all the matters will the be the smile on my face and laugh that seems to be always filling the air around me. 

I will smile and realize this is the sweetest and peaceful  moment in my life and I know that I’ve waited a long time for this moment to come and I wouldn’t trade it in for anything.

The day you graduate from high school seems like the best moment of your life for you accomplish 12 years of school and the freedom feels so damn good right now. 

Then summer goes by and soon you starting college and it’s a new journey you are on and four years pass by so fast that you are again walking across the stage with a smile on your face and well this time freedom is a little more real. 

You feel like you’ve worked so hard for this moment and days later things just don’t seem the way you thought it would be but, embrace where takes you anyways because you know things could be worst.

need to be alone right now like this picture I need to be far away from everything and everyone.

This sunset gives me the peace I’m craving for I feel like I’m surrounded by good people and then just one idiot comes along and ruins it and, I try to keep my cool but I am no ones servant on this earth other than God.

I don’t get be your babysitter and do your job for you for then I would be getting the best paycheck and would not complain or stress out over this stuff.

I just need you to check yourself and really think about what you know and what you need to know.

For I can help you but I can’t save you if you think you already know it all for not even I know all of it.

I am calm like this sunset because if I am not I know the worst is not what you would expect coming from me.

I’m like a sunrise which can be so beautiful if you are a morning person but if you’re not, nothing in the world will make you wake up to watch it.

Well when I get so mad nothing in your mind is going to be able to forget me snapping at you.

I can say sorry but the truth is you will not ever look at me the same and right now I am okay with that.

I will be the new dark cloud raining and following you through your days that you will feel like you were curse and maybe you were because making someone who tries so hard not to go to the dark side so mad.

Well I just hope you know what is in store for you because not even myself wants to go down that road which was once perfect is cracked because the real hell just raised and it will definitely take sometime to get it back down.
