You always

loved being the center of the attention

until one day you just wanted to stand out and walk through the crowd.

You didn’t want to be notice as much and just wanted to hide out with me.

Where no one really came looking but when they found us it was like they found a buried treasure that had be long forgotten.

The days and nights with us were more fun then they have had in years for we did the simple things in life that may not seem like much but the memories Last a lifetime.

It was

the night before work.

When the mind was so relaxed

With no worry insight.

The time to do what you wanted was so long and bright.

Everything you wanted to get done you surely did with no regret insight.

You winded down your night knowing tomorrow will be a pain but all you can hope is to get through as quickly as possible.

Oh how I love

holidays and how I look forward to them.

For it is a moment in my day that I can rest and play with no worry anyone will be contracting me.

I can truly enjoy what its all about and watch as many holiday movies too with no worry that my time will be up and back to reality I go.

If only my life could be like a holiday on repeat with no sad moments but all full of joy and laughter.

With no worries that others are using me or just giving up and expecting me to pick up where they left off.

To knowing when its time to let go and move on and be at peace with the changes that are coming around.

Because before you know it the holidays will be here and this time things will be more busier than you thought and plans will change in front of your eyes without a care in the world how it just turned you upside down.

I once

was lost in a world I thought I had under control as I had plans and knew what I wanted.

But I soon found out I was in control but only because he let me be but once I gave it all over to him.

I found out that the life I was living was not so great but the life I gained was so much better.

Everything sounded and tasted so much richer and the lift I needed so badly was right now and not then.

I had this hole inside of me that I tried to fill up with worldly things but nothing lasted long enough until he came along and now I know I can have somethings but I dont need them all to be happy and okay.

This fall I’m trying to stumble away from the things that are not right for me and walk into the unknown knowing I am better off now that the door I’ve been waiting for is open now and I’m not waiting around for it to close on me this time.

Music from

the past sometimes is the best for there may be this sound that you don’t hear today in the things that you like now.

To hear a song that was before my time or a childhood favorite just brings back some great memories and makes me think of how far music has come and that no matter how much time passes by the hits will always be around.

Music isn’t just something that is around it’s life changing and just something that I crave not just for today but always and it just lifts me up another level in my life.

In the dark

I stand out even when it is too dark too see me.

My eyes always give me away and in that moment that eye contact is made it’s hard for anyone to look away.

They say I have predator eyes and once locked on you become my prey and it’s hard for you to move away for all you want to do is be closer to me.

I know some say my eyes light up in the night like a cat hunting well everyone is asleep.

I want to stand out but not in the way that makes others fear me, and as it gets cold I stay wearing black and covering up everything but my eyes.

I hope you will take the risk and get to know me for I’m not one to shy away but, I won’t make a move unless you give me the okay.

I’ve been on

on this path for way too long.

The journey to dealing with the same stuff all over again and again.

Could make even the nicest person a little bitter or maybe a lot.

For in the path you see so much and experience just as much but, when you walk out of the path you have been on for too long.

Is it joy you are feeling or just peace of knowing you don’t have to go back down that dark and dull path again.

Will the next path be any different you wonder on this fall day as the year slowly comes to a end.

Like debris

you are everywhere but yet not doing much.

You want to boss people around but yet can’t even do what you need to do.

You want to act as if you know it will all work out but stress about things you have no control over.

Nothing is ever good enough for you and that proves so much to me for if you had just a little more faith maybe than life would be so much better for you.

But you blame everyone else as if they are the very reason you are miserable but the truth is you are the one to blame not them but you.

It’s time you do something about your faults and do it quick for you are going to crash and burn and it won’t be pretty.

I can say we were better off without you for the stress was manageable and everyone was doing their jobs and we were a true team.

To be

 Able to take a ride on a day like today is great.

Just riding on the crisp leaves down the street as I enjoy the view of my neighborhood.

Just knowing these days will be fewer as we truly get into the fall season.

And winter soon comes knocking at our door.

But for now I will focus on what a great day it is to be outside and enjoying my free time.

With nothing

 To rush off too

For the first time in days.

I’m gonna just let the wind blow and just breath in and out for a second.

For I feel no stress or anxiety to get things done.

I can truly enjoy the weather and the day before a storm or colder weather blow in.

For once I can just let my hair down and enjoy the little moments in life that truly make life worth the struggle we face some times.
