walked past this ally on our way to his house but did we ever stop and just look at what they did to this building.
No we just talked and maybe looked up or down to make sure no animals were out and about.
But, on this Wednesday afternoon we just happen to both look over and see what a mess they had made to what put up there tags and hope not to get caught as they mostly did it at night when these streets were less traveled on.
The owner probably knows but isn’t worried about at this point.

With no where to go
trying to win a battle.
But it’s feels like I’m standing around surrounded by many people.
But no one is stepping up to the plate, for they get rewards without doing the work.
Standing tall and proud as if they have done so much but so little has came from them.
I fight but stand down at times too for what is the point of over fighting a battle that will not win in the end.
For no one else decided to begin with you either because they knew the results will always favor their way anyway.
To be so privileged would be so nice but for me I have to earn what I put out there and it has to be seen for them to give me credit for it too.

some guidance as I wander through this stressful life.
Feeling like no matter where you turn someone is always has it worst
but somehow they are pushing forward and making way for the world that will not stop for their sorrow.
Some days are easier than the rest and when things get bad that is when the wake up call happens to some of us.
We take so much for granted and yet even when there is not much left we still manage to push the stress on others.
The ability to do it all just isn’t possible anymore and even when you try to make things even it always comes out lopsided.
I don’t want to say tomorrow will be the same but the hope for change is very low these days and even through I believe I can do more I just can’t fight it like I used too and maybe it’s best to not try anymore.

it’s not cold enough yet to sit by a fire but how I wish it was for the days are so hot but the mornings are nice and cold and it just feels like fall is coming.
And right now that is what I want to be able to cuddle up in a blanket and read by the fire.
And just have life feel like it slowed down for a moment and for me to gain a little balance again because right now life is going by fast but the moments of joy are few.
If only it took for a day of staying inside with no worries about all that is going on outside to calm my stressful mind and just let me be who I truly am just for once without anyone questioning me.
Now that would be nice but, the truth is it never truly lasts.

blur everything in life is going by so fast that even when you do enjoy the finer moments in life.
It’s over in a blink of an eye, three hours of fun and laughter ends with you going back to the way things were and always will be.
You know what you want and right now everything is just fine the way it is until someone else points things out for you and you realize maybe I do need this now or why don’t I have that too.
But, back in my safe place I’m content with what I have and happy where I am going and everything else I know will fall in place for my story will not be the same as everyone else and I’m okay with it for now.

think I’ll just sit back and watch you behind this box with no regard towards you if this is creepy or annoying.
I don’t want to do much today but watching you seems like fun and I can tell you don’t like it as much as I do but, well you do it to me all the time and I don’t like it either.
But, yet you don’t stop watching my every move as if I’m up to something when we’ll sometimes I’m not, but other times I maybe about to do something naughty but you still love me either way right?

elevator stopped on the thirteenth floor with a lurch.
And I knew this was not a good sign as my Friday hadn’t yet started off on a good note.
First it was pouring down rain this morning on my way to this apartment building to look at the very affordable luxury apartment that just happened to come back on the market when I’m so desperate to live on my own now.
As the doors slowly opened and you could barely see on this floor as the lights were all dimmed and only a few doors on this floor.
As I turned to the left and went down the hall to the very end, I could have swear I heard a voice say go back now and you will be spared.
It made me jump and stop in place but before I could continue or even think about turning around the Landlord opened the door and greeted me with a warm smile and told me to come in.
I didn’t know how this day would end but I didn’t expect it would end with me smiling so politely as I ran from the apartment and just as I made it to the elevator do I hear a voice again, ” Don’t wait for the elevator take the stairs it’s the only way you will make it out of here, if only I had listen so many years ago”.
Not wanting to ignore the advice I went for the stairs and ran down them all and once on the street I didn’t stop until I was back in my car and thirteen streets away to I finally let myself truly breathe and accept I wasn’t finding any where to live today and back home.
I go away from the most smallest and creepiest apartment I ever been too, it was covered with dust and cobwebs and he wanted me to stay the night in hope the place would keep me there for life.
With those simple words I just knew it wasn’t for me and safety away from that place on the hunt I went for a new place for me.

weather and overworked
Floating on a cloud of a cold
But pushing through the daily grind.
Moving around all the mistakes made by the same person.
I don’t know how to help anymore as they don’t want to listen.
And here I am trying to live in the positive but your negativity is knocking down every wall that I’ve built up to keep going.
I don’t know how much more I can take as you drag me down every time your around.
I want to remove myself to solve the problem but I know it’s not me that is causing the storm that is heading our way.
