Nature

How I need your quietness right now as the world has becomes so loud.

I know sometimes life gets busy and you just have to move with it but, some people don’t appreciate all that you do.

And so you just want to yell and that’s where nature comes into the picture.

All about capturing the pretty pictures and breathing in the fresh air and screaming at the top of your lungs the frustration of the day or weeks.

You has to keep bundle up inside for you had no one to share it with.

And so you go back to nature and let it keep your secret yells and screams for now.

For maybe next month things will be looking better.

Oh

mywords2228

Lord If I didn’t have you inside of me

tonight would have gone differently.

The calmness would have gone out of me and in its place would have been a storm.

Words would have been flying around and not in a good way and for once she would have been put in her place.

But, she wasn’t worth going there because that door where my anger is stored needs to kept closed.

For life is better without the anger that just makes a bigger mess in any situation.

So over the devil butting into my life with his followers and today and tomorrow I won’t pay them any mind.

As the wind blows into my life and pushes out the frustration of last night and brings with it some much needed fresh air.

That song

mywords2228

Weekend Writing Prompt #118-Song

That song which plays on repeat on my phone will be my favorite until I feel like I can’t relate in this moment with it.

Or that song will soon fade away as I connect to another song maybe that next day or week, but it would come and be bitter sweet.

And I won’t think about the words that connected to me the first time I heard that song and how the words spoke to me.

For I had been feeling that same way all this time and the hope of things changing for me came to me in that song.

THAT SONG!

Monday

mywords2228

you are here again.

And I can honestly say I am not glad to see you again.

I know today will be challenging and unfair and frustrating all wrapped up in one.

I will put on my face that reflects my happiness and my patience and the knowledge I know all so well.

But it will also bring out the evil and the ones that just don’t want you to be happy for their day was bad on Sunday and Monday will not improve what is to come.

As

mywords2228

the day comes to an end so does all the emotions that have been flowing through me all day. 

Every little thing slowly affecting me in a way it felt as if it wasn’t me who was going through it all.

But a stranger, and the question that kept popping in my head was why me and why today.

Everything coming pouring out and I haven’t felt the same and I don’t know if I am okay. 

Or if this was all the things I’ve been keep inside that decided that today was the day to let it out and let me face what has been bothering me all this time and that it’s okay to cry it out. 

For once its all gone things with start to look up again but a little change will go a long way.

Who

mywords2228

am I anymore

Am I your friend

Or am I someone you used to know.

Am I still the one who is trying to get through this even though I am not completely myself right now.

So numb to the things that make me who I am but, right now having to fake I am okay so that no one knows anything has changed.

But, I know that who  I am is a question even I can’t answer anymore.

Am I a writer and a reader?

Or am I just a reader who likes to write some but then my focus fades away so being a writer can’t get any better than what I have offered so far.

Who am I?

Am I the women that does not know how to find herself again and maybe I needed this moment before it got to late.

My world

mywords2228

is like a volcano exploding every time I turn around.

Some messes are bigger than the others and take so much longer to clean up.

That I sometimes just want to leave the mess and walk away and not care about it.

I know that I’m working so hard but at the end of the day my work is not enough and I’m not working this hard just for myself right now.

So much going on its like is this really reality or is a nightmare I just can’t seem to wake up from.

I’m Stumbling over the bricks in my life that just never fit into who I am to become but I’ve focused in place for the sake of me thinking things will get better.

Am I the problem to my world falling apart or is this more than just the things I can see that are tearing me down.

I’m

mywords2228

falling and not in a good way.

The answers to help me get back up again just aren’t coming.

I know that looking on the bright side would strongly help me right now. 

But the frustration is so thick I can’t cut it with a knife if I wanted too at this point. 

I know that things are rough and my break in this storm will come but lately that just seems like such a long way away. 

I know I want to hold on until it comes but I am getting so tired that I just don’t want to hold on to something that just doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon. 

I just want to stay in my bed and not deal with the things that seem to just keep rocking my world that I can’t seem to pick up all the pieces every time it falls apart.

Week 184 of Three Line Tales

light up my way and turn my path from black and white to something more colorful and great, I never thought I was worthy of  this path and that I would be able to stand here and enjoy it.

The colors of joy and peace and happiness are all around me in this moment of my life.

I don’t have to worry or doubt my worth anymore when you showed me that I belonged here no matter what other people try to say at the end of the day, for I’m living on this path for them but for you.

The Path!

What has

mywords2228

this world become as people become animals.

Snapping at you like a snapping turtle because they don’t like to be questioned.

Looking at you as if your are the prey and they are predator and you have crossed over into the lions den.

When will society get their act together and start treating each other with care instead of anger.

It doesn’t matter where you work or how you live.

You are not better or above me and until you realize that you are living a life of ugliness.

And I feel sorry for you for the world is full of some good things and people if you just give them a chance.

For the thing or person your looking for to change your life may just be that person your snapped and slapped at with your words yesterday.
