Everything

I want seems so far away like the land on the other side of this river.

I know what I have to do but, there is so many distractions all around keeping me so busy I dont think about what time it is until it’s too late.

I know that I should be putting up a fight and doing more but I just don’t know how to get motivated anymore.

For I know what my day will end up like and I know there is no coming back from what is to come and I know I can push through it but right now feels like I’m at the end of my rope.

And if that’s so will I every get everything I need and want at the end of this trial of my life?

How could

 I say this in the nicest way without truly hurting you.

Oh how I want to say what’s on my mind right now.

It’s so bad that I say nothing because I’m afraid I will just spill out of me like a waterfall.

And once it’s out I don’t care about the outcome because I’ve already wasted so much time caring about things that don’t matter.

I’m a open book but right now I’m closing my doors and packing up to go.

Nothing left to share as I realize there is so much more for me then standing here holding my tongue all day.

It’s time to just be me and let my wings out and fly away into the sun in hopes of seeing another day.

Seconds before

I knew it was all going down hill because it’s like no matter how hard you worked to do what needed to be done.

There was always a mess on the other side and there is always someone else who is not satisfied.

So much going on that I just can’t take it anymore and for someone to just assume I would go along with whatever it is going on.

Just pisses me off the truth is I don’t care anymore.

I’ve fought hard and now I’m burnt out and I’m done complaining and I’m done trying to save their ass.

When they just throw mine under the bus because they can’t seem to do what needs to be done.

My eyes are open and so are my ears but there is not much more I can do other than walk way and forget all that I know.

Sunday word wordle 422

You pressed your tiny little hands on my wrist and felt my bone with a smile on your face.

And I melted again from how adorable you can be at times.

Until I noticed the orange paint and in that moment I saw just a little bit of evil and you denied it was intentional and I read it as you telling the truth and not just another one of your lies.

I felt like you collude me into that project that was just a grift and you knew you would trump out on top because you knew you had it better off in the end with no time for your crime.

me see that there is more out there for me and not just in this moment or day.

But in my life and as long as I try and put the work out there, there really isn’t anything that can hold me back.

Seeing you shine made me realize there really isn’t a better time then now to jump and hope my wings will carry through it all.

My voice is powerful if I would just use it because at the end of the day I want to be able to handle everything that comes my way.

I appreciate that you appreciate all that I do but now it’s time for me to do more for me than you.

Tonight I

Want to forget about being the only one you can depend on.

I want to be the one no one bothers on her day off.

The one no one thinks about until it’s too late to call or text.

The one that just skates by off the radar with no concern with a problem comes up.

The clueless one who thinks all she does is really enough and up to standards like everyone else.

I want to be me and not be bothered with a load that not just one person can carry on their own.

But that’s life for ya but I’m a warrior and I’ll be okay in the end.

Living in

 The moment and forgetting about all the things that are holding me back.

It’s now or never to hope to move forward in this life given to me.

I can’t keep holding on to what if’s and how come that can’t happen for me.

For at the end of the day this journey will end with me standing up knowing I did all I could do with the help of my lord.

Not waiting around hoping an greater opportunity will just fall in my lap and that will be the turn of a lifetime.

It’s up to me to put things in motion and do the right thing for when it’s too late who will save me other than my lord.

People come and go from my life as fast as I can blink or read a new book.

I know things can change and well we can be ghosted but it’s what you do next with your life that truly shows how strong you can be.

LOOKING UP

Week 190 of Three Line Tales

to what I can expect will be a long way up and just too many steps for me to take after a long day at work.

For all I looked forward to was a good weekend out and away from all the drama that has been surrounding me all week long.

Just a moment to just  relax but, I know if I just walk up those steps the feeling of being free and just knowing I made it  this far will be so rewarding at the end of the day and that nothing can bring me down for they can’t reach me tonight.

Tomorrow

what is there to expect.

There is always something

but that doesn’t mean what is to come will be something to look forward too.

But tomorrow will come and I hope it brings me a treat or two for I’m looking forward to something to block out all the things I can’t control.

What to do

mywords2228

when it’s late and dark outside

And you’ve been up since it was light outside.

You want to relax but all your body wants to do is sleep and not deal with the outside world.

You want to find the answer to all the questions that made you scratch your head today.

And a pill that could cure all the people who were nasty to you today, just because there were things that couldn’t be answered or solved the way they want it to be.

Sometimes it’s better to not be in this place where the dark is what you see and the light is barely something you remember these days.
