Childhood you were left in the past for I didn’t need to hold you anymore when my days were hard and I just couldn’t understand how cruel people could be. 

I knew that the day would come when I could hand this all without the comfort you provided for me. 

It was time for me to be a big kid and let go of my childhood toys and embrace the new things the world had to offer me for these toys were farther more durable than you ever were to me.

Things

Are trying to get better

as we begin to look out for one another.

We start to stand together and begin to build a bond like no other.

But, things are hard enough as they are that it doesn’t matter how hard we try.

There is no good timing to what is to come and to feel less stressed and relaxed sounds so great when you become one of the best.

Not enough time is given for you to feel like you are doing more than what can be done in the first place.

It’s getting

Cold outside and all I want to do is stay inside and wrap myself in a blanket.

I don’t want to wake up and deal with the day.

For the moment I walk out the door I’m slapped with the cold air and the powerful wind.

And all I can think of is going back to sleep and getting as far away from this coldness.

As fast as I can physically can.

For being in this cold air for too long and my mind is all foggy and all I see is darkness as my eye close.

Coldness I don’t appreciate the cold air you blow my way and in the end I can do without you.

This

is torture if I just knew 

how to get out of this.

Then things would look so good for me. 

But, here I am again playing the same old games as I did before. 

I know that this time should be better but I just can’t give you the answer you want to hear right now. 

I have a feeling that the future will be a little better than what the current present moments are like. 

But, I can’t go there yet and so the hope that is keeping me going is going strong right now as I hold on tight. 

In hope that this week will be different and better than the last ones, I can only hope and cross my fingers that things will work out not just for me but, for  everyone around me now.

I

Almost forgot to tell you this morning 

about what has been running through my mind lately. 

I knew that you would understand and would make things so much better 

and even if this week went wrong you would hold me tight and I would get through it all.

With a smile on my face even if that smile doesn’t last for very long.

I know that as long as I don’t forget you then things will always be so great for me for you are my savior and my friend. 

So yes I’m hopeful that I will not forget what you have done for me and what you will do for me soon.

How

could I have let things get this way 

when all I had to do was follow directions and do what was on the list. 

So much time has gone by and now I just don’t know how to go back and correct the things I’ve messed up. 

I know that I should feel bad right now about all the things that have slipped my mind.

But, with no time to do them I just can’t feel too guilty right now at all I just got to keep moving forward and hoping things will workout for me and those around me.

My friend

here we are again with another day of fetch the ball and even though we have been doing this for a while you still get so excited as if it’s a new ball or a new game.

I throw and you run and hopefully if we play the game right then you will return to me with the ball and we will keep going back and forth until one of us is tired.

But, if you don’t bring the ball back then the game ends before it even really started and it may be just find with you but soon or later this game won’t be possible and then we both will be sad.

100 WORD WEDNESDAY WEEK 93

 on that instead of learning we are trashing the place where we can take ourselves to a place where we can expand our minds and find ourselves. 

To step out of our little bubble of comfort and meet new people and express ourselves more without worrying about much. 

Though there is still those that rather ruin the good things because being bad is fun and in a way they are taking back control and listening to no one for they are who you fear now.
