want to cover up anymore
the feelings inside that need to be expressed so you understand.
That this isn’t right and without change things are not going to get better for us.
Oh how I wish you would listen but, I feel like my breath would be wasted on you if I said a word.
Yet, I feel the worst is coming if I don’t say something now.

how miserable you are and yet you continue to go down this route.
Stop and think about the things you have been blessed with.
And then go back to that moment when you felt not happy.
And I hope you realize the little things come and go but, it’s your attitude that’s the real problem.
Stop!
letting the things uncontrollable control your every move.
Like a predator stalking its prey, not one to give up when the chase has already taken to long.
Open your eyes and stop doing or saying things you don’t understand and start to learn them instead.
You want to go far than get up and do the hard work.
The end result won’t show up on its own!

want to be trapped in this space where no matter how long I run around.
Nothing seems to get done and I’m going mad and I don’t know how much longer I can keep falling and pulling myself back up just to survive with the same results all the time.
I no longer know who I am for I have become this robot doing what they expect me to do.
When all I want to do is run and not look back not even when they call my name .
There isn’t anything left to hold on to I’m at my breaking point and the light that shines in me is dying each and every day.
The need for change is so strong that I can’t keep sitting around waiting for it to come to me.
It’s time to move forward faster than I even thought possible because if I don’t the rope holding me up will snap.
Turning me from a swan to a monster no one can control.

one with myself as I lost myself to the nice feeling of the sun on my back.
And the feeling of the sand through my fingers and just knowing I’ve been having such a great time.
But, on this day I just needed a moment to relax and let time go by for I hadn’t felt this relax in such a long time.
If only this moment could last a little longer I would be so grateful to experience more days like today.

get to close to me if you know you’re going to mess me up.
I’ve had enough headaches and heartaches to last a lifetime.
I just want someone to turn my life upside down and make me see how much better it can be.
To expand the good things and make them great.
To make my face hurt because I can’t stop smiling every time I see their face or hear their voice.
To have someone chasing me and for me to feel so much more relax and content.
One day you may earn my heart or you may just earn the door slammed in your face.
But, either way you won’t forget me in the end.

do this on my own even if I try I know that I will fail.
With you I can hold my ground and smile even when I don’t feel like it.
You relight my fire everyday that I am blessed to see another day.
I know that me being around has a lot to do with you.
You are my greatest blessing and my only hope of getting through these trials I My life.
You’re the only reason I keep going when the days seem too hard to understand.

a thicker skin for you shouldn’t be getting to me not now or ever.
I know what you are trying to do and I just know that things are coming for everyone else because you are evil.
I see the smile on your face when you make others do what you should be doing just to do less.
The end game is not good for you and yet you are standing here think this is it for me and no one will stand in my way.
You push and you pull and even though you feel you are doing the right thing even though you don’t really understand all that is going on around you right now.

many walls I have had to break down just to get to the center of who you are.
The journey has been quite tiring but the result at the end of knowing who you are and what you stand for has been worth it.
I wish you would see how much you mean to me and those around you and you would give yourself more credit when it comes to this life that you live.
We all make mistakes but if we own up to what we did wrong and pay attention next time things would be more easy for me and you.
I know that every hole I fill back up after truly getting to know you is worth the pain of talking it through because you are so much less stressed now and you are truly living now and doubt is something you barely worry about these days.

to play the victim again as you mess up again.
It is not my fault when you don’t want to pay attention to your surroundings.
I’ve tried to help from time to time but, at the end you slab me in the back and expect to not be corrected when you make a mistake.
The things that are going on are all important and serious in their own ways.
You don’t understand that this is how things work and instead of taking the time to see the new things blooming all around us.
You just keep seeing the things that have brought you down because you let them.
In the end you wonder back at what you did wrong and you still don’t jump and take the matters into your own hands.
You just figure you will do all that you can in the end and that will help you out when the door that was closed is now back open ready to take you hope and to a place you will truly fit in.
