Thinking

I knew what was to come

was a foolish move for me.

For this situation is unknown for me

for every step is a surprise and I’m worried

I might get carried away to a place of unknown

And I’m not sure I’m okay with that but only time will tell.

What will be the outcome but I’m not putting too many of my eggs

in this basket for life is just so unpredicted especially when it comes to my luck or well my lack of luck.

Things

Aren’t clear but when are they

When it comes to life.

So drained from overthinking and reworking everything out.

Now relaxing doesn’t seem possible when I have so much to do still.

But, I know if I don’t slow down I will crash and burn out before success has truly arrived.

The struggle to find balance isn’t helping either but here I stand taller than before hoping to make a difference.

Three Line Tales 244

path has been an good one as everything seems to be falling into place for me.

But I feel like the other shoe is about to fall and things are not going to be great for me as the stress begins to build up and push back as it wants out.

Will I end up making it to the finish line with this path or will I let the things that scare me the most rule my life and end up with another unfinished path.

Trying

Not to jump out of my skin

As everything starts to fall into place.

But the stress still builds up

And the feeling of being overwhelmed is slamming into me over and over again.

But somehow I’m standing tall and strong and moving on.

Even though all I want to do is run or curl up and sleep.

And hope when I wake things will be calm again.

Better days

Have come and gone

And I’ve been grateful for them all.

And now the days are tiring and time-consuming.

I realize I was missing out on so much

By trying to stay busy but not doing much.

For the end result was me always craving for more.

But not knowing how to accomplish it in the end.

Because I let my fears lead the way and not just risk it all today and every day after.
