The gaping
Holes in my life just seem to becoming bigger and bigger until there is no safe place for me to stand.
For one wrong step will send you down a hole and what is inside is an answer I don’t even know.
So much light is around but the path to getting out is not even more than a line.
To cross will not be easy but I know I can’t stay on this side anymore.
Because if I do the only thing full of darkness won’t be just the holes around me.
For I won’t be myself and everything everyone sees in me will not matter or be true anymore.

That feeling
Is growing strongly
Inside of me and yet.
I still don’t know what to do about it but it leaves me feeling somewhat empty.
I don’t know what it will take to fill this
hole up.
But it comes and goes as I realize I have a content life for the most part.
But I know there is so much more for me to do and yet the only in my way right now is myself.
Maybe soon I will step out of my own way and make room for something new.

Your actions
Speak so loudly today
As the pace of everything is thrown off.
But you don’t seem too concern as you look at your phone.
And flip your hair and touch up your makeup.
As if all that is going all around you is nothing but a dream and we don’t matter for when you wake up.
We will be gone but if I pinch you it will hurt and then you will learn to focus and wake up for the second time today.

Quote of the day
So many
Want the best for me
And I hope it does get better.
For I want the outcome for me and to show them I finally got away.
Like a cold morning I come into your life and by noon I quickly disappear again.
From cold to hot the moods of me change as the stress seems to continue on a path of no endings.
Well it ends just not on a good note and the results won’t be in my favor.

At first

it feels like time has slowed down and you are able to look around and see how much everyone is enjoying themselves.
You feel the music as if it is moving around you and you can feel the beat pulsing through you as you get lost in the song.
You know this is your night and it will be one of your greatest moments as you do what you love and trust that everything will workout.
And you will look back on this moment and hope the next one will be just as great.

Quote of the day
You told
Week 193 of Three Line Tales

me if I ever got lost to look at the map for it will tell me where I am and possible where I need to go.
I know that I can figure it out as along as I take a moment to calm down because you know I might freak out if I don’t get there when I told you I would.
Because then you will think I can’t do it on my own anymore and I don’t want that freedom taken away from me, for I know I am getting order and soon I won’t be able to do it but today won’t be the end of my independence.

Quote of the day
“You can’t get much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good.”
– Jerry West
One
moment
One day
One task
Is all it takes to turn things around for me.
Will today be the day or will it take longer than expected?
Only getting through the day will I know what it will take.

Quote of the day
Blinded
by the pain and frustration
That I don’t see the change that is happening around me.
You see I’ve been in the dark with just a flashlight of light and when that window of light shined down on me.
I didn’t notice something had awakened in me.
For it felt no different than the Tuesday before.
But, somehow the energy I was feeling felt so pure and powerful.
It wasn’t until I saw his eyes what I had been trying to see in my owns.
The look was light itself shining back at me with no darkness around and as he stepped cross to me.
I swear I saw an angel in Him and what to come next was nothing short of a miracle.

Doubt
how I sometimes let you run my life.
Not letting much get by because I know to let others in somehow become disappointing.
You know there is more to say and not enough time to do it for doubt always seems to creep in and try to turn your life upside down.
And when that happens it’s like seeing everything around you and no hope of things getting better for you.
For once again you let doubt win because you believe for a second your not worth something more than what your living right now!
Oh how I hope doubt won’t win this battle I’m fighting right now.
