Looking

mywords2228

Back to all the choices I made

I feel like the one that sent me here.

wasn’t worth it as the struggle to stay true to oneself was slowly coming apart.

As people are you make you lose your mind and the good things that make you.

Who you always were, something that you were proud to be and now you’re the shell of that amazing person?

Looking at you now feels like the past wasn’t so bad and living in the present Hasn’t improved for you, just got worse.

And the hope for a better future for you is looking for a slim right now.

One can only hope things will get better for you soon.

Hiding

in the background is what I do best these days.

Only seeing the beauty of the world from the shadows.

I know I could step out and join the crowd but, what’s the point.

When your surround by people sometimes you can be made into an easy target.

And soon everyone is looking for  a way to put you in a box they feel you fit into.

But, in the shadows there is no one to judge or to worry about turning against you and yet you still get to still see all the wonderful things.

With no worries or care as you stand strong and know that your weakness, won’t be the thing that makes you fail or fall down.

Through

Sunrises to Sunset we have always been there for each other even though we may keep going in different directions.

We always seem to come back to this spot and connect again.

We are all so different and yet we stand on mutual ground and even when we have our difference we still make time to make up and make sure the bond is strong.

I know that even as we continue to grow separately, I don’t have a doubt in my mind that when I need something or just someone to talk to I always have someone or many options to relay on.

Friendship sometimes just work out and that bond grows into something either of us thought was possible.

Spring how I wish you’d come soon because winter has stayed a little too long.

The cold is doing nothing but making everyone sick and slightly miserable  because of the cold.

We want to feel the sun shining down on us without the feeling of cold surrounding us.

The feeling of feeling good when being out in nature and feeling one with it.

The beautiful flowers blooming all around us and all you will  see is  nothing but green as you walk around town or when you visit other places.

You will want to walk around and play outdoors with no care in the world until you are tired and ready to go inside.

I don’t

mywords2228

think it matters anymore

as I float above the negativity.

I see the light that is shining my way and I’m not afraid to embrace the possibility of something great coming my way.

I won’t let those that throw stone my way bring me down completely.

I’m fighting for more than they could ever understand.

So I won’t grow weak when the time comes and I have to face you all and say my side of the story.

Maybe one day you will understand or maybe you won’t even care than too.

We hadn’t

expected this little bit of snow to appear on this day of the week.

For it just didn’t feel that cold out for snow to fall or for it to stick either.

But, here we were as we looked up from all the rushing around the shop this morning to see the little flakes falling from the sky and lay so nicely down on the pathway between each store.

It looked so nice as if it belonged there and we have no say in the matter, but we all agreed  as we had so hoped that winter was over and spring would soon appear.

But, the cold was in the air again and we soon begun to bundle up again and leave early so that we wouldn’t have to rush when the weather got so bad that traveling would not be likely or safe.

Oh how we know winter looks nice in a picture but is not so fun to be in the moment when it throws all your plans off and makes you not want to go out for freezing your butt off isn’t something you want to accomplish this season at all.

Blow

mywords2228

out the candles as you turn a year older.

Turn off the lights as you lay down to sleep.

Close your eyes as you begin to drift off into a dream, becoming someone else as you witness a story you have just created and became apart of.

Long or short that dream may stay with you for a while until it fades from your mind like all the dreams before.

To

mywords2228

escape the evil one

who looks like a nice person.

But, soon shows her true character

the one that tries to rip everyone apart just because you’re doing things better than her.

A snake that just wants to bite so she can show you who is boss

while she sits on her ass not doing anything.

How much more can one take being around someone so evil and how. does that person live with themselves.

Trying to take down someone who is barely rising up is like stealing candy from a baby and laughing in their face.

Who does that, she probably would or do something even worst

so my friends if you see her coming please turn the other way quickly for I wouldn’t want you to get hurt or sucked into her lies.

Light

that surrounds me could be me in my final moment when

I am free to go to my true home.

I wonder what it would feel like to not be tied to a world that is full of so much hate and people don’t see all the love that it has to offer.

Because we are hurting each other more because, it is better to fit in then be the one that is different.

And maybe that was true in some point in your life but, as you get older I hope you respect  those that seemed different and embrace them for who they are for I want to be in that light moment with nothing holding me back.

With the feeling that I put all my love and care out there into the world and I leave with peace and happiness on my face with no fear or sadness because I know that I’ve done all that I could.

Embracing the light so many before me have done and when it is my time which I hope is not for a long time.

I hope that at least once I touched someone’s heart or helped them out and even though I may not know it, I am okay with that because it is not my place to receive the glory for doing something good or right for someone else.
