Let go of the words that have been building up in me.

Feels so good that I can’t believe I hold them in so long.

Because now it feels like a dam of emotions have been set free and I am able to express and experience them all at my own pace.

No more rushing through the moment because you have someplace to go and something to do.

So your pain or worry is put on the back burning in the hope it will all work out at the end of the week or whenever.

Because you have to keep your head in the game in front of you.

Or else why have you’ve been working so hard if the facts all show you don’t care anymore.

Moment of waiting for so long has finally come.

The count down to not being stressed out has come.

No need to rush around and worry about being late or too early.

No need to lose your mind over getting things done in a certain time frame.

No need to schedule anything just let whatever going to happen next come true.

The need to do more than you are capable of doing isn’t going to happen this day or tomorrow.

So relax and sleep in and just be carefree for once and let everything else blow away like the leaves in the fall.

You

wait for me to make a decision.

Even though we have talked about it before.

For some reason, I still can’t commit to what I need to do.

The word yes is on my mind but when I open my mouth all that comes out is I’m still thinking about it.

Or any other excuse I can come up with.

I know you deserve an answer and it should be me to give it too you.

But, I don’t know when my mind and my mouth will agree on what I have to say.

I just hope it happens, soon for I hate to see you suffer and move on without me.

It’s

time to let somethings in my life just fall apart.

To not worry about where the pieces will fall or how hard they fall.

Just let it all fall and worry about the mess later.

For it’s time to stop cleaning up things and just let something things workout on it’s own.

I’m in this relax and laid back mood and I just need a break from feeling like I need to be somewhere else but, yet I’m still here.

Summer

is coming and along with it is the heat

and it’s slowly turning up as the day go on.

It first starts off nice and cool and then the heat

takes over and you feel like you just want to stay in the cool breeze

because this heat could melt you right to your core and every plan

you had for the day would be over.

no care in the world

I sit here with all the confidence

I have ever had and enjoy this moment.

I am not worried about who is texting me or supposed to text me by now.

I know that plans have probably changed as I don’t bother to look at the time anymore.

I hope you just forgot of maybe your running late but why no warning ahead of time from you.

I don’t know why you don’t say anything and in the end you will show up or you won’t and maybe you will say sorry or you will just keep walking as if it’s not your problem that your late.

of rolling the dice

and paying the price

for other people  life choices I didn’t really sign up for.

I am not your backup plan because if I am I will let you down

everytime.

For I owe you nothing and some day you will realize that when I am gone.

But, for now I will allow you to be naïve and maybe one day you will truly open your eyes up and see how much the better the world would be if you got your act together.

If ignorance had a picture of a sample of the word in the dictionary there you would be with a smile on your face trying to fool the world.

my moments when everything becomes so relatable

that the simple things can bring up emotions.

And I’m not afraid to show them and process them as they come and go.

And sometimes the emotions come so quickly they can’t be experienced in the privacy of my own space.

But, that’s life for you and sometimes we have to express ourselves even in our weakness moments that don’t feel like something we want to experience or explore in that moment.

It’s time to let it all out and hope that the strength that I am looking for will come again so that I can fight through this process but, at the same time not take this time for granted for it is something I need to do.

To move on from this side of the road for there is another crossroad I need to meet at and this time I may not go right but,  I know that I won’t be going back either.
