feel the fire going out as the passion

starts to go out inside of me.

I know that there isn’t much time left to save the happy feeling inside of me.

So I quickly try to find  a way to gain some  inspiration and hope for the best.

As the words and thoughts fly through my mind I hope the right ones will come out before the fire goes out and I feel so cold inside.

Now is not the time for me to give up

even though some people are trying so hard to keep me down.

As some very big changes happen in my life

they see no concern about the storm that is going on around them for they are safe.

The fight to stay strong is growing more and more each day so the fight is not over yet.

an owl

I’m always up at night trying to enjoy the little moments left in the day.

So tonight I’m going out to let loose and finally let my hair down and just experience each moment that comes my way.

It’s been too long since I’ve just let myself truly breathe and live again after just pushing through a long day at work.

tree that we wrote our love on will stand there maybe longer than we can appreciate the little moments we have together.

We will most like forget where we found that tree  but, hopefully we will not forget that day and how much we still love each other even on our worst days.

I know the tree was not just representing our love but the love that came before us and the love that is yet to come.

This tree represents so much love and peace and hope that so many more will enjoy it too.

day I didn’t know what to expect and to my surprise.

You blew me away with all the love and time you took to make it so special.

To end up on top of your truck staring into your eyes and knowing that this moment was just the beginning to a great love that has so much more to grow on.

Never

Enough time to truly enjoy this break from this place.

Never say never for it always seems to come true anyways.

One knows when it is time to let go of the never could have happened or the never would I go back and experience that again.

Never is there a right moment to just drop everything and do what you love.

But, you know when it’s the right time to walk away and never look back.

For you learned all that you can learn and now it’s time to move forward.

I

was a fool to think this was how it was going to end. 

I always wanted to be in control and maybe lately I have been more out of control than anything. 

The feeling of anger was burning through me so powerful and strong and the feeling was real. 

So much hurt but, so much forgiveness that the all of a sudden I was not myself and no matter how much I tried to shake the feeling away. 

It just grew stronger until there was nothing left to fight and all I could do was embrace who I had become 

And sadly there was no going back and the person I used to be was gone in her place someone less caring and kind and just out to be left alone for good this time.

up from my darkness days 

only to find the light is shining so brightly. 

There isn’t a moment when I want to go back

for I feel so alive and there is no baggage that I have left to carry around. 

I feel light and at peace and this moment doesn’t feel like it will just last for a day 

but possibly for a lifetime this time around. 

But, I will try to be hopeful but not put all my eggs in one basket for it could all go back the way it is the next week. 

To hope that the day will be light and joyful and the darkness will stay inside and not come out and play again.

me choose what I need to do right now.

For even though I feel like I have the answer it’s clear that I don’t.

What I want to happen may not happen as the darkness that surrounds my life swallows me whole once again.

The feeling of knowing what I am supposed to do vanish with the light that was protecting from the pain and sadness that overcomes me right now.

The path that I walk on is not clear to see and I feel like I’ve been walking in circles lately and no matter how hard I try there is no relief in this journey I am trying to go on.

The beating of my heart is all that carries me forward but the silence feels so not right as I push away the noise and lay down and hope when I wake up tomorrow things will be better and brighter on this side of my life.

How was

I to know this moment wasn’t just some ordinary day but, the moment I’ve been waiting for.

The moment when everything would change because I got off the floor that day and took charge of the life that was giving to me.

I know now that there will always be parts of my life that I won’t have answers to because the questions aren’t mine to answer to.

So I may put distance between the situations but, can you blame me when I’ve tried so many times to get your attention.

I was okay to be part of your life then but, now I am something of the past and I am fine with that for I am living in the present and you are barely on my mind.

But, you will always have a piece of my heart and I will always care about what will become if you.

I am a stranger to you now and only when I go down memory lane do I think about the fun we had but, now I must keep moving so I keep growing and living with a smile on my face now and then.
