I know

I said I didn’t care what others think.

But, some times it really gets to me and I start to think did I make the right decision.

Time and time again when I feel like I’m on top and in control of my life.

Someone else comes a long and makes a point to point out the things I have yet to complete.

I know it makes me feel sad in the moment but, I won’t let them bring me down when I know  there is so much more I have to offer.

It’s just going to take time for everyone else to see just how far  I really have overcome these past years.

Am I

The one to fall for the foolishness

Because I don’t want to be alone.

Am I to worry about my chances of going down in life because I feel a little old.

Am I to work myself to death because they are losing people left and right.

Am I to make sacrifices in my life so others can be happy around me and I suffer for it.

Am I to give up before the real battle has even begun.

Am I to change what needs to change in order to make the things I need to happen actually happen.

Am I to pray on it and then sit by the side doubting it will happen.

No, I am to believe it will work out and take some steps to help make it happen.

So that I can say we did together for the Lord didn’t make me be lazy but yet hopefully at the same time.

It’s time to say yes I am to do this and let the others figure out their own plan.

Let’s

Not waste a moment of this time we have together.

Because of the things going on around us, there is not enough time to waste by doing a lot of simple things.

We must act now and worry about the risk and outcomes later.

Life can special you and shock you all at the same time.

Keep your head down but yet do your best to get it done.

For the stress of the unknown is worst than knowing what will happen and still not doing anything about it.

It’s

time to take back what is mine and fight to do better.

I won’t settle or wait around for things to just fall into my lap.

I will not be your yes lady and wonder why later I even agreed to this.

I will appreciate the moments given to me and honor all the little things for things could be worst.

The struggle is gone and the hope to move forward is on and looking back at my darkest moments will get me nowhere fast.

Its time to embrace the light and focus on the things that really matter in my life.

Wow

look how big he is, I didn’t think he would look this amazing up close to me but wow it’s absolutely amazing.

His so big and white to be able to see a polar bear looking so calm and the black fur under his neck with a hit of blue just makes him really pop in the blue water.

It feels like we are in a painting and missing the colors together to blend it is just so unique and unreal.

A moment in time!

Poetry

I can

feel the music inside of me as the song begins.

The lights dim down as something awesome is about to happen.

Then in a blink of an eye, the band is on stage and the music has started and it’s like every beat is beating loudly in your chest.

And at first, you feel a little weird for its beating so loud and so hard that your heart will beat right out your chest.

But, the feeling starts to build up you’re hype for the show and you’re just so excited.

You don’t feel tires anymore as the show unfolds around you and you feel so blessed to be alive and witnessing this moment.

With the two people who are the closest to you.

And you can’t wait for another adventure to happen for a little fun makes life so much more bearable.

Finally

the night of our weekly gathering has arrived.

It feels like it’s been a long time coming since we have all been in the same space.

I’m looking forward to the food and the laughs we will share and the hope of making more plans sooner rather than later.

I’m so excited I can’t stop thinking about what could happen and the joy not just I will feel but everyone that will be there tonight.

It’s going to be great I can feel the great vibes.

any moment you could fade from ones life and just like a bit of smoke or fog

you will be gone in a blank of an eye.

And in that moment will someone know you are gone or will they think of you later on when it’s too late.

It’s

not up to me to plant the way for you even though I want so much for you.

I know you Would rather be like the plants that don’t need much water or care.

Then one who needs to be covered with water daily.

You hate the unwanted attention and yet you feel mine is needed every once in a while.

Sometimes I worry you will truly push me away and regret it because all you truly wanted was someone to love you unconditionally.
