I thought

Getting on the road would help me get out of my head.

But now I feel so bored and the thing that’s been bugging me this whole time is now all I think about.

Even the view isn’t doing anything for me and maybe just focusing on something else would help me through this road trip.

That has no real destination at this point as I keep telling you to keep driving until I find what I’m looking for.

Frustrated

 to the point of feeling like I rather not do this again.

Not feeling like I want to even deal with it and so I stand here wondering why do I continue to deal with the same problem.

I guess unless I’m on the top there is always going to be someone to set me up.

Only time will tell how this will workout and right now I’m already ready for the day to be over.

Even if it works out I just don’t see this going the way I want it to at this point.

I feel

 like I’m in a good place.

But then that feeling of something or someone is missing comes creeping up.

I try to push it down again because I’m grateful for where I am at in my life right now.

But I feel it pushing back and it’s really starting to drive me mad.

For I know I deserve more but I’m not looking for more.

So I’d like this feeling to go and leave my calm waters alone for now.

For I don’t want to rock the boat when it’s been smooth sailing do far.

Your the

Girl with the sad eyes.

With the permanent frown on your face with no smile in sight.

Once you find your balance you light up but right now you seem lost.

Your always staring off into the light with a look of unsure about something in your life.

I wish I could help you but I don’t know where to start because you are so stand-off sometimes.

It’s hard to be sure if you would accept my help anyways.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll be brave enough to reach out and get a response from you or things could get awkward.

But I will only know if I take that extra step and say something to you.

I didn’t

want to admit that I wish you could hear me tonight.

I know it’s been a long time since you’ve gone away and sit up in heaven.

I know you smile down at me and I hope I’m making you pride even though I feel I should have done more.

But this is my life and I’m trying to do better and be more open in this lifetime.

I know things will be different but I know the change isn’t trying to lose me but found me again.

Hopeful this year

I hope, more will become great moments for me.

And that I will live up to the standards that have been put out before me and those to come.

The feeling that this is not a repeat of anything I’ve ever experienced.

Before and so far and so the shift in my life has begun.

And where it will lead me is so unknown that I just keep walking because it feels right.

I can feel the light growing inside of me and the darkness is growing so small.

As I smile it grows so weak and tries to hide but I won’t lose this battle and it must go.

So I think about everything that makes me happy and whom I love and all I see for miles is the light in me shining so brightly.

And that is how it will be for now as long as I trust you, my lord, I will continue to win.

Your heart

Wants to feel again

That strong feeling of love.

And to be focus on someone other than yourself.

To make waves where you thought weren’t possible.

To truly smile and bit your lip every time you think of them.

You know that you don’t need to be near them all the time but, you want to be near them most of the time.

You care because you want too and no matter how much time goes by you will always care about them.

You don’t know how this will end but you know that you want things to be different than when you tried this before.

You can see that this year is bringing you everything.

Because you’re putting your heart out there and hoping they will bring it back in one piece.

 Made with Bazaart by Lelia Sarda

 So many things when you define me.

I am strong and I am weak

I am smart and I am determined .

I am open minded

I am shy and yet outgoing at times.

I am an closed book but if you give me time I will open up to you.

I am kind and caring.

I will stand up for myself

I can get annoyed but my patience can last a long time.

I am not the one you want to mess with.

I keep my temper in check for going off on others is not worth it.

Holding my tongue sometimes is a must.

 Maybe some day others will accept that we are more than what meets the eye.

Don’t say

 The Golden hush by Greg Sharpe

 A word no matter how much you want too.

For right now isn’t the time for words or action.

It’s time to be quite and mind your business as something that are happening around you are not for your eyes or ears.

You must keep your head down if you want to keep moving forward and accomplishing all those goals you set.

It’s not the time to be looking up and around as if others problems are something you live to fix.

Yes I want you to help out but if know you shouldn’t say a word then don’t say a word.

Just be happy you get to see what is meant for you to see and for the rest you know what to do.

I close

 My eyes and the first thing to comes to my mind is you.

Your names seems to always want to come out of my mouth.

I want to be close but not that close, I feel like my emotions are on a roller coaster and one is saying just a friend and the other is not even sure what it wants.

It’s like growing up and then being like a high school girl all over.

Making this slight awkward but at the same time not really.

Complicated is what it is and right now feels like a mess that needs to be cleaned up or fixed.

The answer and the solution to the problem keeps changing and not for the better.
