how cold it is and how much rain has fallen that as the year ends the rain comes to wash out the last bit of bad and unfortunate things that have happen to you.
You stand outside preparing yourself to the things that will come next year and your hope that things will get better is so high that all you can do is give a little smile for 2019.

when things fall out-of-place you realize that it was a good thing because you got to reconnect with someone you didn’t know you missed seeing around.
They brought back such good memories and you are so glad to see them again.
Things can and will turn around for you even when you don’t want to go out and interact with people.
You find yourself smiling and having a good time and hoping that you can get it all done for there is no time to play around in the end.
Sometimes plans are meant to be ruined and turned upside down and then played out in the end to show and shape the best of us.

isn’t much I can do right now as all the plans I have fallen through.
Time is moving slow and all I want to do is avoid the thing I don’t want to do.
And focus on the things that make me feel alive again.
Being positive seems hard as everything in me shuts down the minute I realize where I have to go today.
It has become clear to me that I want out and there is no more chances to give.
A plan will have to be in the works so I can find myself on the outside and not stuck inside this box of bad luck.

Know when life gets tough and you just don’t think you could get through this moment.
But, when you look up you see that one person who always has your back.
Standing on the side watching you and soon they are there telling you things will get better.
You just have to have faith and you got to keep your head up.
No matter what happens because there will always be someone trying to pull wool over your eye.
Because they think they could out smart you or somehow get their way out the end  but if you didn’t do your job good or well enough they would have kicked you out by now.
And not thought twice about it, out of sight you will  be forgotten.

Down is my spirit right now as I just get tired of overworking myself.
It all feels like everything I’ve been holding in is about to explored and so.
I’m trying to not look anyone in the eye or  I feel something will happen.
My body is shutting down as it prepares for the battle that will come.
I just hope I can get through these things I have to face soon.
For I know if I don’t get it together the worst is to come.
My insides feel like they are on fire and even though I feel the coldness around me, I just can’t shake the heat that is burning me up.

holds so many memories from my past that it makes it hard for me to come back to this place.
I know there is some beauty in this place but, I haven’t seen it in so long.
So as I wait to board my train I look back on all that I am leaving behind and going back to the place that feels like home to me now.
I know that I will be back but I am stronger now and nothing will hold me back from finding more about myself as I explore the world around me.
