Hoping for

Advertisements

A miracle as life seems to becoming so much more than I imagined.

Raising up in the morning before the sunrise in search of a long day of work.

Time flying by and we’ll nothing seeming just right.

Hope that things will get better and knowing it will too.

But, yet doubt still sinks in and turns good things into negative situations and those never end well.

The pressure to get it right just seems like it’s all in my head.

Like everyone is saying praises and yet doing better is at the forefront of your mind and it is holding you hostage.

Until you realize so much more of your value in life and as yourself.

What I

Advertisements

Really need seems like a question I need answers too.

For I feel like I’m living but what am I living for again?

My purpose seems to be more than I thought and now I am praying for a sign to show me.

That there is more to me than what I’ve shown so far.

It all feels like I am about to go on a journey that will hopefully finally show me the final pathway.

That will lead me to the place I need to be in order to know what’s been happening is worth it.

I won’t

Start looking for you for you are meant to find me.

I won’t start making a list about you for you are to come to me as you are and all that you are will be enough.

I will be full of words that will express how you make me feel but I won’t come on too strong.

I know once we are one it will be hard and impossible to break us apart.

For if we are meant to be it will last and through every storm and celebration we will grow and learn. 

 For I won’t stop hoping you will come to me soon and shake up my very quite life again.

Am I

To fold to every demand you try to make.

Or will you realize I’m not that same girl.

Things have changed and you may not be okay with that.

But I am because I’m taking back my life and my words and my confidence.

I am tired of second guessing things and hesitating about other things.

I may have been a little over the top but I didn’t make you feel like an outsider looking in on well a life that truly wasn’t never mine.

I found my voice once I let you go and now I barely think of you.

I think you pop up I my mind as a reminder I am and always will be stronger and better off without you!

 Not of what awaits me today.

As it seems there are challenges that keep popping up and yet I seem hopeful.

That I will get through it all even when I know the struggle is far from being over.

My hopes to get ahead or even break even just isn’t in the cards for me.

And so I just face everything for what it is and keep moving through life as if this pace won’t always be how I’m walking on my journey.

I can

 Not deny that things are falling apart around me.

But I am full of hope and joy because I know I did right.

They say wish harm on Someone else and it will most likely backfire.

So I let you try to stab me in the back many times only for you to see I am not going down.

I am not getting weaker but stronger and the anger and sadness in you begins to grow.

As the peace in me stands strong and attached to a path that is still unclear but slightly focused on an end goal.

That won’t be flashy but a place that is not just a settling but a true destiny.

You came

Advertisements

Back and yes it was a surprise

For I just thought about reaching out to you.

Then there you were standing tall with a smile on your face, begging me to step closer.

And I knew I couldn’t stay mad and so forgiveness was given and the distance between us was closed.

Oh how nice it has been to see you again it’s like everything has fade and in the moment it’s my favorite time of year again.

It’s like nothing changed and those first moments we spent together came right back.

Today would forever be great because of our reconnection no matter how crazy it got.

fog it is hard for me to see the outcome of things right now.

But I feel things will look up but it will take time.

And I will just have to find some patience and accept that things will be better and different.

For I want change and sometimes I want it to happen as quick as I wish the fog in my life would fade away but it’s staying until I guess I’m ready to do what needs to be done.

My hand in yours and I hope this jump were about to take works out.

And even if it doesn’t it was worth the risk as we break the surface and come up for air, splashing water all around.

The smile I see on your face and the one you see on my have mean hiding for awhile now.

For moments apart haven’t been that fun but the dream we both want are starting to looking up.

They are coming alive and are not just ideas in our minds or drawings on paper.

This year we will have each other backs in hold that when the real pull in life comes we will have a strong hold on each other and get through it all with smile on our faces.

And no matter what happens there isn’t much or anything that can truly get between us at this point.

I’m drowing

Advertisements

And I know there is no one to rescue me as I try to remember everything they has been told to me.

Is it left or right?

And was it the first left or the first right.

I don’t know what to do but keep asking for help as I feel like this is a set up and yet I have no back up plan.

If this doesn’t workout and it becomes too much to handle.

Oh how I wish I wasn’t doing this on my own so soon.

But what am I to do at this point but keep holding on.
