I’m running

mywords2228

Low on fuels and I don’t know what to do.

I try to sleep more and that helps a little.

But now I’m running low again and so eat more things that will keep my energy up.

But I’m so tired and I just don’t know what to do.

I know I’d be a fool if I think I can keep going like this.

But what to do is the question of the hour.

Wake me

mywords2228

Up inside so my day is not just a blur.

So I can see what all is going on around me

For I don’t want to miss a moment in this life.

I’ve grown to enjoy the path I am on right now.

I don’t want to look back at where I’ve been before for now it has been flooded by bad memories.

So to be in this place right now where stress isn’t on my mind and peace is present in every way and form.

Today is going to be an great day since you woke me up this way.

Sometimes

There is smoke before you really see that person for who they are.

You keep trying to peek a glance at them but what you see and hear about them seems so different.

They are so honest and sweet to you but everyone keeps saying it’s an act.

You don’t know what to believe for the smoke has not left your sight since you’ve meet them.

You don’t know if it’s safe to keep risking it all for them when you’re not sure you know who they truly are.

Spring is

mywords2228

I hope as it got up to 61 degrees outside

and the sweatpants have to be put away.

But, this spring feeling doesn’t seem to be lasting very long and the temperature starts to drop again as it starts to get dark outside.

So much to look forward too as the clocks are set forward and what feels like nine am is now ten am.

I look forward to what is to come for I am quite tired of the cold and up and downs as I just want to go outside and keep once layer on not keep adding for I don’t want to sick.

The ability to go some where is quite risky these days and makes you second guess your plans as the days continue on.

An unexpected

mywords2228

Trip leaves me tired and frustrated.

Something you never think would happen as happen and now your on the road.

And your day is spent doing not much and so you have one day left to do something.

We will see what comes of this all but the hope it won’t happen again is something we all hope for.

Three Line Tales, Week 214

photo by Jorge Flores via Unsplash

the broken pieces inside of us because the art that we see all around and even when you see the pain that someone has released doesn’t mean you know everything about that person.

For the eye may not see everything but it may notice a lot when it is observing its surrounding for the first time but hopefully not the last.

So much to be seen and so much to remember as you take picture after picture with no desire to stop for you are enjoying these type of photo’s.

I’m walking

mywords2228

Into the lion den tomorrow

and I don’t know what to expect at this point.

I know I am needed but I kinda want to run for the door and not look back.

I want to change the situation and just be in this bubble of peace and joy.

I know every great story has that moment or place that feels like rock bottom.

And all you can hope for is getting back to that place you were before.

But, we can’t go back into and so we have to face our present and hope for the best.

And that’s all I can do as I go into tomorrow and see what I haven’t seen in a long time.

Poetry

One day

mywords2228

I will have it all and I don’t mean material things.

I mean I will be in place of true happiness and even with the struggles of life I will bounce back.

I what let little things get me down.

I will have what I’ve been looking for in my life.

Doubt will be an old friend I don’t listen too anymore.

I will be strong no matter what is said about me or done to me.

There will be moments of reflection and clarity.

There will be lots of moments and memories and laughter and the sad moments will be few.

Poetry

I needed

mywords2228

This moment to appreciate all I have and may get later.

Tired is my body and hungry is my soul.

I crave the words that come from stories and books.

I crave the sound of music and can’t wait to hear the beat.

The words that stay with me forever.

I crave the sleep that I will gain once I lay down in bed.

I appreciate the one that helps me through it all and not just for today.

I know I’m ready to be near him and to know this struggle was worth it for I am worth it.
