Like there has to be more than what is going on.
You know that what is happening isn’t the end.
But what next is there to do about the situation.
Will it keep looking up and grow stronger and build into something magical.
The hope that these little moments aren’t just moments is what keeps the fire going especially when it feels like no hope is insight.

Week 210 of Three Line Tales

Could have three wishes would I make good ones or would I waste them all.
I know that I need at least one wish and would use the other two for Someone else and maybe they would appreciate it and think twice about their wishes.
I just know right now it’s fun to think what you would do with three wishes but in the end I feel like it will most likely not end well.

It’s like I’m watching a old movie as memories of my childhood flash before my eyes.
Just one word and I’m pulled into my past and sometimes it’s nice to see those memories.
And other times I’m like why did I think about that again.
But sometimes it’s a nice reminder of how far I have come and how I’m glad I can’t go back.
For living in the now has been wonderful and life changing even through the days of struggles and uncertainty’s.

Been fooling myself as I work hard to keep
this friendship going.
Maybe if I let it go if it was meant to be it will work out.
For this doubt and trying to figure out what to say is just not working and I feel like something needs to be said.
But, I don’t know how you will take it and so I sit here erasing more than hitting the send button.
Maybe it’s too late and now I wonder how to be me and yet still want what everyone else has.
I know being by myself sometimes is nice and so I get lost in my own world and every now and then.
I come out and check on everyone else and then I wonder if I had just been outgoing the whole time would this doubt be bothering me now.

To let you out of my sight will turn all this hard work into nothing special.
So night and day I try to find a way or a word that will make a difference.
And yet every time I say something or write it out something feels off.
I feel something is missing and I want to say I know what it is going to be but just isn’t the case.
I don’t know how to get back that spark that really brings the best out of me.
For I feel so much more lost even though I am on the side I never thought I’d be able to get on.
And now things are looking good and I am still in my shell but I peak out now and then.

Day and I am right back in my zone I hope.
I know being out of my mind will really help me get it together when it really counts.
I know the struggle to get through is long and tiring.
But I know once it’s all done I would be in such a better place.
And now it’s done and I’m sad to not see the new faces but glad to get back to the place that has become familiar to me.

To learn as the sky lights up and sun rises as the morning has begun.
So much to do and yet not a lot of time for yet again here you are trying to wake up.
Time moves a little slow but If you take your eye off of it for a second next thing you know your running late again.
So it’s time to get up and have faith that today will be great no matter how boring or bad it gets for your still blessed.
For you got up this morning and you still have a chance to do something great today.
And even though you feel like there has to be a better answer out there don’t give up yet.
Things will get better just give it some time but when that moment comes you will be knocked off your feet.
Oh how I wish you could see just how blessed and loved you are now.
I know a lot is going on and the feeling of being lost is around again but so much more is coming your way so just hold on.
Don’t give up just because the support you had isn’t there anymore.
For you have always had all the help you needed just not from those who have left.
Just look around your help and your support are there and the best thing is they don’t want to go anywhere else.

Always look this way but sometimes I’m just to tired to get it right.
The green on my first is the cover up of all the bruises I’ve received this year.
Would stop and tell me I have something on my face or would you just think I was trying something new.
Oh how my mind is so restless and the headaches have only increased since that night you hurt me.
I wish I had the strength and courage to says something but I don’t.
So here I stand not looking my best because how can I pretend anymore that everything is okay when I have no energy to keep going on this way.

Used to burn for you
Now it just burns for me.
But not as bright as before
As a lot of darkness has covered up the light in me.
Yet I know I still standout but I’m not looking for anyone to really see me
I just want to help guide others with my light and keep moving on as life keeps throwing things at me and some I catch and others just hit me but I won’t let them keep me down.
