Say today wasn’t great.
It felt exciting to be learning something new.
To be somewhere new
To know no one but yet not feel uncomfortable.
To be in a good space with no conflicts insight.
No drama, no stress, no darkness insight.
Nothing but light shining in on me as the journey to something new comes my way.

Stairway in Irish Forest…
I could be in a place that was always colorful as this one
for then nothing bad would ever really be that bad.
I would go and sit on the steps and just relax and think about how bless it is too just be able to just be here in the moment for everything is about to change.
I can feel it like the changing of the seasons.

used to be more than just a place where everyone tags there street art or they love, it was a place where we could all get away and all feel equal for we were all there for the same reasons.
To find ourselves in a world that wants to put us in certain boxes and once your in there is no getting out again.
We wanted to feel free but safe too and to be able to express whatever emotion was feeling heavy on our shoulders at the time, we wanted to be able to lean on each other forever.

To that place that makes me feel alive.
Where the smile on my face can’t be swiped off my face even if you try.
To the place where I feel like nothing can hurt me.
Where I finally get some peace and quite.
Where my voice is strong and I am so sure of myself.
The place I so want to call home because when I’m there nothing bad can touch me and I am able to truly enjoy every moment of my day.
My life, and the music is always on and I’m always so chill.
Nothing brings on fear unless I have to leave this place and go back to the reality of a selfish world.

Fair you say
But, let’s get this straight
I run around like a dog chasing a tennis ball.
And you stand still like a statue and life is not fair.
It makes me laugh because there is always something that is not fair in this life
But, I’ve learned that if you complain things never change and you just keep complaining.
And then you don’t fight back when you should and you end up feeling so weak.
And you start playing the victim about everything.
So I’m telling you right now stop and wake up because if you don’t, you will be unhappy longer than you should be!

Tree I can break too.
And not just on an icy day.
Sometimes it’s sunny days and I slowly dry up with no new growth inside.
And I slowly start to bend until I fall completely apart.
And be no more.
You will clean up the mess I made and maybe on a hot summer day you will miss my shade.
But as the storms come and go you will not worry about me as I will not be leaning towards the house.
But just maybe you will plant something new in my spot and it will begin to grow.
For just because one falls down doesn’t mean another can’t bloom in its place.

And overworked
No where to run as everything gets to busy.
And in the storm stands you unmoved and unbothered.
I want to fight you and put you in your place and I know that will not happen.
For I know at the end fighting with you won’t be worth it.
I’m not angry enough to get to your level and I know there is so much more for me now and forever.
But, for you I don’t think you care and you are too comfortable in the situation.
And you think life will always be this great but is it more for show.

long nights
never moment of rest.
Taking so much and thinking it is okay
because you are clueless has nothing to do with me.
To learn or to allow others to do the work for you in the end
leaves you vulnerable when they are not around.
You depend so much on others that you loss the ability to depend on yourself
for no one has you back in the end when they are just trying to make it out of this
zone of laziness and users.
There is no more sun when your in this zone for too long and if you try to stay too long
you too will question your own sanity and in the end you might not come out the same way your were before it all started.

Here’s my take on this Prompt
I wish this wasn’t true but I know the reason I have not heard from you.
Is that I’ve been replaced and even though no one can truly be like me there just wasn’t enough time on my part to give to you.
I know it was great while it lasted a friendship so true and such a blessing I hope the time we had together will always be cherished by you as it will be for me.
I won’t stay hurt for long for I still love you.
