Feeling

as if I might just burst into a million pieces.

As I somehow have nowhere safe to say what needs to be said.

The words are in my head but no matter how hard I try they won’t come out.

And if they could you wouldn’t want to hear them anyways and so I guess I’ll just keep bottling it up until I have no more room to store it all.

For these are the days of my life and maybe that’s why things feel not so bright lately.

The dullness of my life is all around no matter what corner of my life I go to nothing is lighting up the way it used too.

Sometimes

in life, you don’t know if your right side up or upside down.

And when you try to find some balance in your life.

Something somehow shifts before your eye and throws you for a curve and before you can get back up they knock you right back down.

And nothing you say or do is working out for you at this point because they chose to knock you down instead of helping you up at the end of your struggle.

You have done so much and right when you choose to move on and do better for yourself they throw you under the bus and expect you to smile and still help out with no worries in sight.

You feel that the pull is becoming too much and you know there is no way you will along this to go on and so you stand your guard and fight the good fight.

Until just come out with what they are planning to do which we all know doesn’t sound like someone who has your back at this point.

Oh it’s

so cold outside

that it feels like

I could become a popsicle soon and I know I won’t be something quite sweet enough.

The air is blowing through me as my body starts to warm up and all I want to do is go back inside and not worry about what is to come.

I just want to fade into the background and not worry about the things that feel out my control for I know I am capable of doing what has to be done.

The answer to this is easy and yet no one sees it and so it’s just a circle we all keep running around in because we hope things would get better.

So many want others to do the work and when the results aren’t the way they want them to go who and how can they blame the first person.

When they have had the opportunity to get it all done on their own, but no one is willing to stand up and do what has to be done because the storm won’t go away if we pretend this is the way it is supposed to be.

I want

to feel the cold wind blowing around me as I get cold but not too cold.

As I look around and see the snow that fell just yesterday start to melt away like my problems from yesterday.

I Stand and I move to keep the warmth inside until it is my time to go back inside for I know the tough times are not yet behind me.

And I know that I am strong but how strong when it just feels like someone is lifting me up just to slam me back down.

As if my injuries and feelings don’t matter anymore and I am replaceable.

I tried

to wait for you a little longer.

But, the wind started to pick up and I had to leave and as I walked away I tried to text you again.

But still, no reply and I just don’t understand how you didn’t pick up as today was the day you choose to meet up with me.

Now not only was my time wasted out in the cold it just sucks for any day now I will be leaving and this reality we had together is slowly coming to end.

I just hope you reach out to me before I get even farther away from you and the time it will take for me to come back will be too long.

That even you may move on and forget about me and I’m hoping you don’t forget me and that our future will still be something that can happen and not just some fantasy we came up with one long cold night.

A moment

with just you and me before it gets cold again.

Lots of candles were lite and petals on the table.

As we came together in hopes of a good night for our day was probably not so good.

But once together again and nothing matters as all the bad moments fade away even if it’s just for tonight.

Everything is quiet and the peace is all around as we stare into each other eyes and have a great night.

And when it’s all said and done we are all just glad to enjoy each other time and hope that the next night out for us won’t be a long time away.

I know

 It’s late but I just have to say what’s been on my mind.

When will they open their eyes, and will they do will it be like a new born who is adjusting to the new world it is seeming for the first time.

Or will they try to pay it cool and acted as if they knew what was going on in the first place.

Nothing is going right and yet everyone is expecting we will some how turn a corner and everything will be fixed and better.

But so much happening all around as things that need to be updated are crashing .

When we need them the most and the time to get it done is gonna to be a challenge but I for one is ready for a fight.

You always

 Have my back

Together we are able to figure it out.

I know no matter what they say you are doing your best.

I don’t expect much and so how you give so much more every time.

I feel others don’t want to admit sometimes your way work.

They just want to put the blame on someone else.

You are someone I look up too and I hope to make something more of myself.

You give your all and you realize that those who choose to pretend will get no where in the end.

To smile

mywords2228

again feels so good right now.

Even though I know I’m walking into a Storm

I know that I am strong enough to handle it.

I know there will be times when it will be hard to really smile.

But, I know that the light in me will carry me through no matter what tries to run me down.

For this great smile will carry me through it all especially when I dont think smiling will solve the issue.

Week 205 of Three Line Tales

have you brought me as we are now five days in and something have changed.

While others  are still the same and you shake your head more and you bit your tongue more because you can’t afford to tell them all off when the time it takes to deal with them is taking way to long.

You know the stress is strong but you won’t let it get to you because you know at the end od the day you aren’t taking their problems home with you and you are doing your best and that’s all that really matters now.
