is my time to just not worry about anything and just sip on my cocoa and write down all my thoughts of my day.
Charging my phone as I wait for replies for my plans for later this day, I really do enjoy this quite moments I get for there seems to always be noise around me.
I just need a moment to refocus on what I need to get done for things are happening all around me and it just seems to becoming too much and coming at me so fast.

You’ll find full guidelines on the TLT page – here’s the tl;dr:
is that way as I move quickly from my seat to get to a place far away from here so that I can finally think without interruptions.
To feel like I’m not about to fall apart from being overworked and feeling like no matter what I do there is not enough time in the day for things to work out.
The decision made around me are just not quite good or even adding up at the end, how much more can I go through before I’ve had enough too?

so hard to find the words
when it comes to saying hello
and when it comes to saying good-bye.
So much to say in between it all but, not sure how to say it in the end.
Morning and afternoon comes and goes and as evening comes around
still the words have not formed inside my head.
When will it all become clear and the words be let out for those that need to hear it.
Will it be too late when you write it out and then say it.
Will the effect that would have had on you not be as strong now.
Why do I even try now or When will I try or have the time to really do it anyway.

Fog I step out into the world of chaos
Nothing good seems to last outside the fog.
I rather be lost in safety of the fog than to be in the open with nothing to hide my vulnerability.
So much has happened and so much has been undone but when will the chaos calm down.
Back in the fog I go when they do nothing about this situation that is slowly getting out of control.

you have arrived and you bring so cold air with you as fall finally comes around.
Yet, you still bring along your friend the rain who has rained too many times this summer that he isn’t really welcomed in October.
He wants to rain down and bring lots of grown in the grass and other things but right now he has over-stayed his welcome.
It’s time for the rain to take a vacation and let the cold air be just enough for everyone to use a light jacket outside.
You welcome the cold and hope now you don’t get sick because well everyone is counting on you.
But, as fall comes and soon winter to follow you know that time is slowly running out and this year is soon to be over.
What will you bring October and will November follow with no rain and nothing but shine and just the right amount of cold and cheer too?

Moment I had this feeling of overcoming everything that was holding me back.
No more feeling of how much more can I take before o break.
The truth is they broke me a long time go and now nothing feels the same.
Until, today when all that hard work that played off and all the stress that came with it was lifted off my shoulder.
My breathing was calmer and my body was no longer tense.
My life was in my hands again and this time I knew I was going to become strong again.

Shine down on me today
as my day begins For I need you now.
To light my way and to pull me from the darkness that calls me sometimes.
I want to stand still and wait out the storm that is coming my way.
There is barely a sense of peace as I wander through navigation of my life.
Since finding this place it one day well wandering through nature this tree gave me shade from the sun on such a hot day.
All of a sudden bright light shine down on me and I just knew the hard days were behind me and there was going to be lots of good days ahead of me for I had faith that it will all work out in the end.

You have arrived but I have yet the time to enjoy you.
i remember the days when I would play outside and enjoy our time together.
How I would swing on that old tire swing with no care in the world.
Just lost in my thoughts with nowhere to go.
Just enjoying the weather and this moment where I’m free to breathe and truly know this day will be a good one.
Oh Fall don’t go by so quickly now for I would love to enjoy you just a little more.
