It’s not about

Advertisements

The numbers or the time for so much can happen and so little at the same time.

You watch and you wait for someone to make a move that just doesn’t work.

But instead of turning away you embrace this change and make it into something more.

For you know this time may be one of your last chances to get it done and for it to be above average.

And just maybe something great.

Thinking

of that time when I just needed to be alone and went to my favorite smoothie spot.

With no worry insight of having to be anywhere but here in this point and then I finally having the time to actually think about what I want and how I want it.

Now going to that place is not likely going to happen anytime soon.

But I feel like those memories from past visit can get me through the days to come.

On adrenaline they say

That’s why I’m still up and on the go.

Am I pushing to hard to help out those that well don’t really deserve it.

I know how it was in the past and how it is today and well I can’t see the change.

Day was long but I got through it and now on to the next.

I am now walking and siting as my adrenaline wears off and all I want is to warm and safe again.

Looking

out on a world I used to know

and how the last couple months it has become so upside down.

The need to be safe is on our minds all the time.

I don’t want to stare all day long out the window but today I’m a little restless.

The sun is out shining so bright that I want to go out but I see too many people out and about.

So back to my window I go until that too just seems to much or gets too dark to see.

Everyday I look at that window and hope the world will start looking good again and that we will appreciate so much more.

I want

to relax and not be bothered as I am still tired

I want to just be in the peace that is my life and not stress out about what is happening right now.

I want to lean like this and touch the calming water in hopes it will calm me during this week.

Being busy well trying to keep others sane.

Just trying to have a moment to myself but you keep talking about random things.

And I start to zone out in hopes you will just float away and give me the peace I need and crave on this long day.

Three Line Tales, Week 220

ends and playing a little ball outside with nothing but a piece of wood is what we’ve been doing since we were little.

Now were a little older and have so much going on for us but every year we make time for each other and we always go away with more memories than before.

We know that there will be a time when we won’t be able to come together but until then we will play ball and enjoy our time together again.

Everything

About to change again and I’m excited.

And worried at the same time but I know I will get through it.

For this is what I want right now and I know this will be different but I got this.

Hopefully, it will all work out and even through there is a storm outside. There is hope for things will get better.

All I need to do is make a plan and stick to it for I’ve got this no matter what others say.

Deep breath’s

Advertisements

Are taking before the mask goes on and you walk through those doors.

Not knowing what to expect but you take the risk everyday and every night.

As the shifts are long and time consuming you do it all with a smile on your face.

Even though that smile can’t be seen, you know that you are doing it all the time no matter how much the day brings you.

It’s now and hopefully not for much longer but you will hold on as all as you can for you know you will get through this.

Do you

See me as I was before or as I am now.

When life is less calm and everything is as quiet as it was that morning.

When I posed for this photo with not much care for my day off had started on the right foot.

I was in my element and for once I wasn’t stressing and letting the color of my Tattoos and the shine off my nose ring guide my way.

To place I knew I could be myself and didn’t care if people liked what they see.

For this was me and this was my space and my time.
