Quote of the day



Me to close my mouth
For you don’t want to hear what I have to say
You only want to see me and look at the eyes you love so much.
For you know the words that will come out my mouth will be the truth.
And in the end you will be hurt not me but if you want to prolong the matter.
Then I will let you have it your way one more time before I walk out that door and leave my words and you behind.
This time around.

Look again at how your dealing with life
And everything going on around you.
You begin to wonder why you were ever focused on the wrong things.
And that it is now or never to start focusing on the right things.
And not just for yourself but to help others as well.
Maybe this enlightenment was what you needed to realize that getting older is going to be different but worth the journey.
Whether it’s good or bad for something will come of it.

We feel when it all comes to the end?
Will we want to live a long life.
One that may require us to ask for more help than we want to.
And will we be okay with asking for help?
Because we were earlier we never seem to want to ask for help or get help when we needed it the most.
But, maybe we will change for getting older will require more from us than we thought was possible.
So how will we feel and will we accept the feeling along the way?

Wants you to come back around.
Even if it’s just to say a simple hello and a five minute catch up.
But as time passes by it begins to miss you and the hope of there being a moment of connection is slowly going down the drain.
I know that hope alone won’t get me through this.
And knowing I won’t make the same mistakes as I’ve made before helps too.
But that doesn’t help me to stop feeling this way about you.
As minutes turn into hours and days come and go and I reach out but nothing coming back.
It goes from sunrise to sunset and then light to darkness and the mind is so tired that it can’t think anymore as I call it a night for now.

Long sleep would be so great and peacefully.
For sleep has been short and in sessions
And even then I’m still tired but I must go on.
Another nap will do but still I will be tired soon.
I know this is just a cycle of how things are but the truth is I really just need some sleep.
I know it will get better so no need to complain too much.
But I know I wouldn’t trade in theses moments for anything else at this point.
I’m already spoiled and turning back well really isn’t an option for me and if it was I wouldn’t want to.
So sleep a deep I feel it will happen today as today is the day I’ve been looking forward too as my head hits the pillow.

You taking everything for granted for things are more laid back right now.
Isn’t going to help when things start to pick up again.
The things you expect will happen in the future is coming clear.
You realize there is no hope for them for even on a slow day you thrive to do more.
But, when the pace picks up will they do the same?
Or is this train ride about to be derailed.

Artist: Unknown
Think you truly see me
With so much going on around me.
I wonder if I’m interesting enough for you
Or are there so much more beautiful things around that you don’t notice me right away.
But I’m here when your ready to look for me.
I will be the girl hiding behind the mountains we call life.
And hoping the waves don’t knock me off as I try to get my footing in this new challenge I’m facing now.
Oh how I wish I had all the answers before that door closes and you walk away before I can.

See this coming
But I’m looking forward to what will come from it now.
To see you smile when I smile.
To feel the joy together and to get through the doubt and unanswered questions too.
To know the support goes both ways.
To feel this isn’t just some short term thing.
