Long day

Advertisements

 With so much to do and to learn.

But as I get it together and do my part I realize things will get done only if I take the chance to do what I need to do.

So much going on not enough time to figure it out.

Delay in every corner with no hope of it getting done on time.

No time to pull just time to keep it moving.

With no thought or hope insight.

I bet

You thought you were clever today.

But it’s a shame you still don’t see what you’re doing.

It ain’t right but who am I to tell you what to do when everyone else is and yet the story hasn’t changed.

You want to do more and say you are doing the right thing and everyone else is trying to tear you down.

But the thing is we all know the truth and even if we shine some light on it for you.

We will be the bad guys and the cycle of you playing the victim continues on and on.

Until you choose to grow up and take responsibility for the things you did wrong and apologize for not knowing sooner what you had done.

But I know you will not ever change and it will always be someone else fault in the end.

I can’t tell

you how many times I thought this moment would not come.

But it did and I well I missed it.

But my guardian angel brought it back to me and in the end I know I will succeed.

There is no doubt about it that I will show what I can do and I won’t let the things in this world define me.

I won’t focus on the past but the present and how all the hard work and all the days of feeling like I gave too much only to feel so weak and out of touch with myself.

It was worth it if I can say no and not look back for I owe no one nothing and I have come this far for myself not for someone who thinks they know me.

I stand tall for a short person and I stand up for no one silences me when I am telling you the truth.

You may feel I am hard on you or that I don’t show to much empathy but do you show it will people need it the most from someone is going through almost the same things as you.

It makes me mad to think you want so much from everyone else but can’t see that you are on the same leave as the rest of us.

There is worry and scares in our lives too and when we reach out you want that from us but you slap us away when we do what you do.

I guess it’s because you hate the game Simon says for you are unique and you don’t want anyone to do what you do for then the game would truly be over and that’s no fun for you.

I’m Done

Advertisements

trying to be more for you and less for me.

I’m done putting you first and letting myself go

for I am just as important or even more.

At the end of the day I know who I am and what I  am capable of, but do you?

I know that life is short and it’s my time to do new things and see new people

for being stuck in this little box where I let in some people here and there is not enough for me anymore.

I know that sometimes things have been difficult and the struggle has and will be still there but, those moments when you can stop  and smile and appreciate the things that are going right are what I live for.

And the reason I haven’t given up and thrown in the towel already, for I know there has to balance and sometimes the dark out weights the light for maybe a moment too long.

But the light always wakes you up in the morning and the dark runs along for what you dont see yet will come out and the outcome will be good and maybe possibly great too.

I feel

a little broken lately

as my body grows weak.

And my legs hurt the most

as I stand up all day long moving forward and backward.

Not getting much of a break for I have so much to do and it all must be done.

I know that the day will go by quickly and I will hopefully get it all together in no time for I’m so ready to do more than I thought was possible.

It’s time to pick up my broken pieces and let them float away and grow new pieces along the way as I expand my life like never before.

I will take this chance and I will run with it for I know I am ready for a challenge and ready to get out of my comfort zone and embrace new things and see and meet new people too.

Sometimes it

takes team work to get  the right pose done right.

with just the right amount of patience anything can be succeed if we just both trust that we are capable of the strength needed to not only pull this off but to hold on a little longer than we intended  to.

Today was a good day not just for me but for you too.

Let’s end this week strong and know that there is always time for us to get it together while still supporting each other through this journey where our live continues to grow and be blessed.

I want

 to feel alive again.

To feel safe again.

To feel like my writing is good again.

To feel like I’m taking care of myself again.

To feel like I know what I want.

To feel like I’m in a little control of what is going on around me.

It feels like I’m in a pile of mess and everyone expects me to know the answers to the questions.

We all want answers too but the unknown is coming and right now it doesn’t look that good.

Tomorrow

Do I want to know what you will have waiting for me when I walk through those doors?

I don’t want to even walk up and deal with it.

I know I will have to battle myself through the easy stuff and just ignore the tough stuff altogether.

I know I already feel the wear and tear as today and this week will weaken me in more than one way.

Will I survival or will I just give up and quit and not worry about the outcome in the end.

I really wish this could be the end to my chapter in this place but it has yet to be written as I stand by looking on to a better future and hope for myself.

I’m home

Advertisements

Finally, because today was too long with too many problems.

No one wants to jump in but me and well I’m tired and over it all at this point.

But being home makes me relax and know that my troubles and headaches are over for now.

I know today is just day one of a mess, not even I can solve or clean up on my own.

But it will only be me who will figure it out in the end and maybe it won’t be too late.

To be

Advertisements

 In this with no guarantee that it will all work out but,Someone always got something to say.

Shutting down like a robot and just getting through the day for I know I’m not meant to be here anymore.

I’m holding on to the only little amount of strength that I have left so that I can get through this day in hopes it all works out for me.

To care about others is fine but at end it’s me who wants to walk away and not deal with the negativity and the simple minded.

For the life that is meant to be mine is just behind that door and it’s time to open it and stop waiting for someone else to join me.

For I was meant to walk down this path alone but at same time knowing his guiding me once I walk through that door.

And everything in my past will truly be gone as I live in only the good times for the sorrow will not haunt me anymore.
