joy how easy it was to be so joyful about life

no one to raining  on your parade just  because life isn’t going the way they like.

The joy to just take a adventure and not have to worry about when or where you need to be.

The joy of just seeing the world for what it was through the eyes of a kid before you really see what the world is capable of.

You just think about how much fun this can be and how much you can’t wait to see your friends and how their is not much to stress about for an adult takes care of the rest of the things that make your life complete.

But, one day hopefully not soon that pure and innocent joy will be no more and you will wonder how you can get by on the joy that fills the world of being adult.

You will be focused to see the good in everything and to not let anything take away that joy you have for you and God are in control of your life and it really is time to take back your youthful joy.

The only joy that truly out shines the bad the ugly and cruel people and moments of your life.

God how I saw you shining through someone today.

Their joy was so clear and so pure and full of life.

It just made me smile too and not question why he was that happy for I just knew it was because of you.

He jumped for joy when I mentioned it was always so good to see him for he always came around in such an amazing mood.

You and him made my day as you brighten the moments that made me not want to be there just be in my own zone.

You showed me that no matter how much moments feel like they are not worth smiling about, it is so worth it too just smile and enjoy others when they come around.

So

good to see you with a hug here and a handshake there.

But spoken words are said and then it’s like everything just fades into the background.

It’s like did you mean what you said or was it just something to say.

All this is running through my mind and I don’t want to overthink this situation.

Just because you changed upon how you reply to someone now.

Like everything else, I am going to let it go and move on and I hope you come to your senses.

And the right words and response will flow from your mouth to your phone.

And I’ll try to be around to receive it and respond before something else comes up.

movement of my body as I bend to be come one with the water flowing above me

I am lost in this moment as I sense nothing but the peaceful breeze and sense the calmness all around me.

Everything inside of me that has been building up inside me just growing and intensifying.

As decreased and evaporated from my system as the calm and peace flow into me over and over again like the water above me continues over and over until it too is turned off and let to rest until tomorrow.

I know this moment will not last but the memory of this day will stay with me and remind me when things get tough there will be a break in the storm and until then just breath and enjoy the flow.

The joy in the air is so Contagious there is no frown Insight nothing but laughter and smiles.
It’s so peaceful and quiet I wasn’t sure what was going on at first until the planes came out and shoot across the sky with the color blue, red following behind them, what a sight it was for me.

What does

it take to get some responses my way.

Only so I can look out for you like you do for me.

This isn’t a one-sided friendship and as days grow long it always ends up with barely a response.

I know things get thrown all around and nothing is the same as it was before.

But, let’s not lose the ability to spend time together get in the way of having a good friendship.

Tired

of all the people around me not doing anything but taking all the credit in the end.

Smiling in my face as if you are something great.

Saying how hard you work to make things great.

Trying to make it all seem okay on your end but in the long run it’s you that is the problem and I am here to find the solution.

But, no matter how much I work to make things great for others.

You will always be the brick in my way and even as I pick you up and throw you away.

When I wake up in the morning there you are again staring me down in the morning as if I am the one who is wrong.

I do more than I should and yet all I get is misery and depends to do more for you who will do nothing compared to what I do for you.

Fair will never be a word I will use with you, and the fact that you turn around and get rude with someone else is really a joke for you have no space to judge and demand more from others when you can’t do the same.

You are supposed to be a leader but the truth is no one is leading anyone in this circus  and soon the lion will get us all.

I thought

I knew the right words to say.

But as I stand here today looking out on everything I’ve worked so hard for the real question is it worth it now.

As someone else comes in and just trash the place it feels like there is no hope.

And it’s time to just let it fall apart all around me like an abandoned building just one little touch abs every falls down.

No evidence left to identify what this place used to be like.

At this point its a distance memory of what it used to be and it will not ever be as great again.

To the past and getting away from the present to get to a better future for the walls are crumbling around me now and its time to let go before I crumb too.

Your

words light a fire in me

A fire that hasn’t truly burned since winter came and went.

You send me into a cool breeze as the hotness of summer comes and stays.

Every moment in the heat is bearable because you’re there to cool me down and help me through my toughness days and nights.

You get me like no other and you help me realize there was more to me than I thought.

Words from your lips dripped off like melting ice cream on a hot day.

The sound of your voice is so strong and deep like a great beat in a song just so good you can’t get enough of hearing it just once.

On repeat is what you want and what you need today and tomorrow.

Am I

kidding myself by staying and letting the waves of stress and feeling overwhelmed crash into my day and night.

The feeling of being trapped in a box and no matter how much I scream for help no one comes.

It’s so overwhelming that I just can’ stop thinking is this pain and frustration worth it.

To feel like a robot day in and day out.

Repeating the same words and dealing with the same problem over and over again.

The answer is no and yet leaving seems so hard when it should be like a snap of my fingers and freedom will be there.

Yet here I stand as if I’m chained to this place!

A corner in which I have no control of and so when the storm hits I just have to brace myself and hope I survive another moment and day and week.
