In this

mywords2228

World there are many pieces of me floating around.

Left behind as I travel to and from these places.

I know that one day they will all come back to me or found by others and change them for the better.

I stand here now letting go all that I cannot control and letting in more light.

Being kind and accepting what is to come my way.

For I don’t want to overthink it anymore for that causing more pain then it needs too.

Whatever happens I am okay with the outcome now.

As I open myself up to so many possibilities.

Poetry

There you

mywords2228

Stand in the storm

So calm with no fear

That the rain could bring you down at any moment.

So strong and so beautiful you stand through it all and even when the pain is too great.

You still fight through it and sometimes you keep it all to yourself.

And I wonder how much longer you can stand on your own this time my friend.

Poetry

Only you

mywords2228

Can answer these unanswered questions for me.

But, waiting for you to find the time seems like a longer wait then I thought.

But I will dig deep and use my patience for once.

And as days turn into weeks and so on I will wait for you.

For the answers are worth the wait at least that’s what I keep telling myself these days.

Poetry

You are

mywords2228

the only one I can’t seem to shake

The only one I can’t see doing anything mean.

The one who does good and stays focus on the things that matter.

And maybe I’m not used to that because I’ve let myself get distracted by everything that is not right.

And now I don’t know what to do with you because I’ve never been in this situation before.

For your different and your full of light and the darkness isn’t something that seems to be gaining on you.

And lately I’ve felt so angry and well the darkness has swallowed me whole and thinking of you.

Has slowly but surely brought me out and today I will do better for me and you.

Poetry

I usually

mywords2228

Don’t give in

But when I’m around you

I just can’t say no.

You suck me in with your sweet words

And in that moment I’m special and nothin bring me down.

You have a way with words that make me worry every time.

I want to pull away I just can’t and I truly see how you mean well.

But I’m suffocating from the attention that it’s driving me insane.

For there is always two meaning to what you say and you smile for you know just how to keep me hook.

Happy Father’s

mywords2228

Day to all the dads out there.

I hope you enjoy your day.

And everyday after!

I am happy to celebrate another Father’s Day with my father.

Poetry

If only

mywords2228

I could get you out of my mind.

If only for a day than I could stop

Being so angry and confused and just living between those to emotions all day.

I just need to get you out

I’ve tried music and exercise to bring myself to exhaustion.

And only when I sleep do I not see your face or think of you.

If only this could last more than six to eight hours.

To be

mywords2228

Afraid and to do it anyways.

Feels terrifying but if I don’t make this move now.

When will I have the time again?

Or who will do it for me if I don’t do it for myself now.

No more being annoyed when others ask about it for it will be done.

There will be no going back for it is time to let it go.

It is time to trust that it will succeed or it will fail but I put all of me in it.

And that truly is all that matters right now for me.

No more doubts or what if’s for now it will be what now?

Poetry

So many

mywords2228

Things I left unsaid

It’s like your there than your not.

And my heart drops every time.

I want scream but what good would that do

For me or for you?

And so the frustration continues

And I wonder just how bad will it be when I finally just let you have it.
