I become so tangled up
In everything.
When all I wanted was to find my way
My peace of mind
My safe place where I would lay my head down at night.

Saturday Six Word Story Prompt (6WSP) #51 – August 15, 2020
I am
the storm going on around you.
My sadness is the darkness of the sky
and my anger is the picking up of the wind blowing all around.
I am not in control anymore as the thunder and lighting light up the sky.
And my sadness begins to pour as the rain come down on you.
For nothing feels right anymore and the clarity I seek isn’t coming to me.
Will this storm continue on and how long will it last as I am being thrown in so many directions this time around.

Quote of the day
I won’t
Give up
Even though I know it’s getting late.
Because I’m here to succeed against this cause.
And to not keep letting the bad things keep me down.
For there is a rainbow at the end of this journey.
That has a taken on more twist and turns than was planned.
The path is still unknown but the passion and drive to finally come to an end result.
Is so strong that no storm or bad luck can stand in my way of finding.
Out all the answers I’ve been waiting for me today.

When
Did it become
Less of my life.
And more of everyone else.
The days are clear and I’ve made so many
Decisions and now I know I’m going down the right path.
No confusion or second-guessing.
Just pure understanding with lots of hope.

Quote of the day
I don’t
See just the past
But the present.
And through it all
I’m just now answering questions from the past.
Making me realize it wasn’t me.
Now the damage is there and some wounds have healed up.
But the others just past through me like clips of my life playing over and over again.
Some show how I was and others who I want to be.
Am I going the right way or am I just fading away with no hope in sight?

I’m always
Surrounded by others
But I wonder who really sees me.
For me?
The sadness I hide inside or the smile that just doesn’t quite reach my eyes.
When will I stop feeling alone when I have so many who care!
I know I am good but I can’t stay
Not now or ever again.
I know things won’t be the same.
But I’m not the same and I must let go.
To let in the new things for me.

Today I
Felt good
And sad.
And I made others sad but it’s nice
To hear how others see me and appreciate me.
I know that my journey doesn’t end here.
I know there is more for me out there and I won’t rest until I’m satisfied.
And that I feel appreciated every day and not just after I have given all of me and more.
I want to know I’m working hard because I know I can.
Not because you squeeze too much out of me.
And I’m struggling to keep up with your demands for me.

Quote of the day
Do You
Three Line Tales 237
remember when we were young, we would hide in the Dryer as if it wasn’t something dangerous because we wouldn’t think to turn it on?
We would climb right in and hide, we can only fit some way in, and while our legs hang out and surely will give us away.
Now we are taking pictures and putting it up on our Instagram for likes and giggles, hoping to be noticed for something we think is cool and is well stepping it up since childhood fun.

I know
I should smile more and come off a little nicer sometimes.
But why do I need to step out of being myself just to well please you?
I don’t have much going on lately and really just want to relax and enjoy
this nice summer night without the demands of others.
For I have become okay with it just being me.
