burnt away

are the days when I felt so strong and able to go on no matter what.

Now the struggle to do what I need to do at the speed that will help me get it done comes and goes.

I feel like I have the ability to do more but the drive to do it isn’t as strong willed as it used to be and the desire to prove myself is just not there.

For I know I can do it but the fact that you try to man hand me get us no where and yet you still think your way will get us far.

But your way is like a burnt leaf nothing good comes from dry leaves unless you need them for a fire in the woods.

I know it will all come down in the end but will you see it coming because you never seem focus or aware of your surroundings.

That dark

Three Line Tales, Week 196

night started a little sooner than I expected but as daylight saving has arrived the darkness will be coming more sooner than later.

The orange moon shined so brightly as halloween night had came and gone with a storm no one wanted but, it took over and all the kids surely ran away.

With maybe not as much candy in there bags but it was better to be safe that night as the wind picked up and the air turned cripes.

Trees and leaves won’t the only things blow around that night as people were still out and about on a night so unique like this.

Let’s make

a wish that November will be better than October and that we will enjoy this month

for the year is truly almost over as December is coming up and then the hope things just keep going up for us is all we want.

Time is running out and we realize that no matter how hard we try we need to move quickly because the time to get it done is running out.

We have to have courage now because it’s time to take those risk and it’s time to just let everything fall to the side if it’s not what we have to get done now because this life is intense now and you don’t want to stress about what if’s when you can do it now.

No more complaining, it’s time to face everything with confidents that it will go in your favor because you have worked hard and sacrificed so much already.

So wish so hard that the only thing you will think about for now on will be that wish which will come true because it’s your time to shine now and forever as long as you believe in yourself again and again.

I want

mywords2228

to leave for I know what I need and right now it’s not being here.

In a place that seems to crush my dreams and hopes more than help them grow more.

So I need to get away from all that I know and just face the present  with a smile on my face and to look forward to things that are coming my way.

For I know this isn’t all there is for me even though lately I truly don’t know where I fit but I know it’s not here anymore.

I know my talent would best served some where else for I have a lot to give and helping is what I love to do.

To know that I have just given someone a little slice of a good moment of their day just brings a smile to my face.

I know that sometimes I can be so frustrated and disappointed because of things I can’t seem to control but I know I will push through it and in the end I know I win.

For I will keep my head up and I won’t let the things that are so negative get me down because I want to stay in this bubble of positive feelings that just carry me through the darkness moments and seems to keep the bullshit at bay.

I know the day will come when I will have to truly shut down to avoid the things that want to drag you into their hell for who doesn’t like company when their miserable and angry at the world.

I  will be the light to guide you out for I know how much damage the darkness can do if you entertain it way too long.

Its time

mywords2228

 to move forward with my head up high and my feet moving with urgency.

In the hope that things will workout for me.

This week has been long and tiring and so stressful that I just wanted to scream.

I’m so tired I don’t want to get back up as my body aches and my mind says today

Is the day to make the right decision.

As time goes by I realize why did I stay for so long only to be losing more than my mind at this point.

 In the hopes that things will get better I can only pray it will all work out for me.

 But only time will tell if I make it out before it all crash down around me.

The weather

mywords2228

is changing and soon it will be too cold for one to just dip their hand in the river for it will be frozen soon.

And being outside will be no fun but being inside watching as the season changes from fall to winter.

Wondering if I had truly wished for this kind of weather so soon.

Will it be hot again next week or will it stay cold for the rest of this fall.

I will not know until tomorrow and than the next day until one day the weather will just drop completely and you will wake with a sight of a frost and the sight of your breathe in the air and you will just know fall is no more.
