If only

Time would speed up and I could just get out here.

and just get lost in something for I feel like I need a break.

To early to tell how the day will be but the hope that it will be fine is all I’m looking forward too.

And going back to bed for sleep is calling my name more than work is as I head out the door.

Trying to

mywords2228

Get myself together seems really hard lately.

As I just want to sleep and feel well rested when I get up.

Instead it’s more tossing and turning and looking at the clock more than I really want too.

Night after night it’s the same thing and I begin to wonder will it get better.

Will my system wake up and get it together or will this continue on with no hope insight.

Too tired to fight the urge to just give up and so I will continue on with a spark of hope or whatever it is that’s got me moving.

Whispering

mywords2228

All around

Some so low not even the best can hear.

So many faces used to be in this room

But now less than most and the hope things will be different is hard.

The light keeps shining and the laughter is always around no matter what.

And that is what I’m grateful for at the end of the day.

That even when the fear is great we keep going on for we know we will overcome it all.

I can’t say

mywords2228

I know how this will end.

But, everyday is like experiencing something new and the emotions I feel are real.

Even when some of the moments confuse me and I don’t want to fall completely.

Into a mess that will do nothing for me in a day or so.

I can’t wait any longer as well I’ve been rather lazy about it.

And now it’s time to really follow through or forever not know the truth.

Such a

mywords2228

Gloomy day as it rains off and on.

If only it could wash away our fears and worries.

And give us hope.

For some of us have lost our way with all the media and all the numbers going up and now down.

You start to feel as if you’re not really living for you are always looking over your shoulders.

For one second of being careless could throw your life upside down and there is no telling if you will get it back.

For some changes are to big to avoid for so long.
