Am I

mywords2228

Leading myself down the right path

Today

Or tomorrow

And will I feel lost but hopeful too?

So many things are unknown to me

Yet I choose to continue on in hopes

That thing will work itself out in the end.

Oh if

mywords2228

Only I knew what it was I was thinking

And feeling that day.

For now, it’s all in the past and I can’t go back and fix it.

So here I stand wondering if I can get through this on my own.

I can’t

mywords2228

Seem to get pass this

Moment

This thought

That is taking up all my time.

Making me feel insane

So frustrated.

So tired.

I feel as if my head will just explode

If I don’t stop thinking about it.

Poetry

What can

mywords2228

I say as you tear out my light

Today and yet I don’t question it

Because I don’t know what you are up to.

All I can do is pray that when this is over that my light comes back shining more than before.

Oh, how I need my light in a good place and it will get better soon.

I just know it, for God protects my light always and forever.

And the end results will be more than I’ve prayed for, I just know it.

I’ve closed

my eyes so many times these days

And not just for myself.

A lot has been going on and I know prayer helps me be centered.

As I depend on him to get me through these times.

Where the days seem so long and unclear.

With him the storm may seem bad but in his arms I know the storm is just a storm.

I will survive this storm and the next.

I know I will ask for his protection no matter what happens big or small.

What am

I to say

so instead of saying anything

I just stare here in hope that I will find the answers

I’ve been craving a lot lately.

When everything is so much that I can’t even write out a thought.

And well talking isn’t anymore easier for me.

So tired I could sleep for weeks to come but I have so much to do

that I will just have to settle for the normal amount of sleep these next few days.

And hope I can get through the challenges coming my way as it turn from light to dark outside and night sets in and my eyes soon close for night.

He said

We would be safe here

And I believed him.

It was so dark out

I could barely see, but I held on to his hand desperately.

As we got closer, I could see the light and the hope that things would be okay.

Grew strong inside of me.

That finally we would be safe and have a place to call home.

Poetry

I needed

the view
for life was becoming too much
the view I had was becoming so dark and sad.
I needed so badly a bit of fresh air with no one insight.
just a moment to myself where I could reflect on everything that is going on
A moment to breathe in and out and be calm for once.
Long days and weeks just taking a toll on me.
The need to move forward is urging me on each day
as the view becomes apart of me
Something I keep coming back to because it's breathe taking
And right now that's what I need the most.
To let go and move forward to the new opportunities that are coming my way.
So I welcome the view today and any day as long as it clears away this fog that has been following me around these days.
