I can’t

Hide from what I want anymore

I can no longer sit on the sidelines and hope someone will notice me.

I am worthy of the spotlight if that is something I want.

I know this path I am on will not be easy, but it will be freeing.

I know not where I will end up, but I know it will be a blessing to get through it because God will be guiding me.

And I’ve chosen to have more faith in myself and him this year as I go where I feel he needs me to go.

Relaxing

On my day off with a hot drink and a good book, I light a candle to make things a little calmer this Thursday.
Trying to stay awake as I try to enjoy my time and the space I am in,
Time goes by so quickly soon; the light turns into darkness as the day became night.
What had I accomplished today, and will I successfully make my goal tomorrow?

Why do

You think you can spit your game at me so early in the morning.

Is it because the early worm gets the catch.

Well, I’m not the one to be caught by someone so slick.

So desperate it’s a game to you, and how many you can catch.

It has become more important than using your common sense.

In this muse of a mess called life, you choose to prey on the naïve and lonely in hopes to secure your heart for a couple of months or to bring your lies into an already hurt household.

When did

things go so wrong
where all I feel is anger and no understanding
about this matter at hand.
I know there will be a light at the end of this storm,
but just when I thought I would see the rainbow, it all comes crashing down again.
Leaving me trying to take a breather to handle what is coming my way yet again.
Making so many thoughts come up as I feel I’m back in an environment that is not good for me or anyone at this point.
But like everything else in my life, I have to keep moving forward, and maybe one day, things will finally be good again.

I am

Where I need to be as the words pour from me.

Like a dream, they seem to be too right to be real.

Will the unknown ever be revealed to me as the words that needed to be said are not like me at all.

I can’t keep sitting on the sidelines hoping to make a difference.

I need the words to come now and help me solve it all before it’s too late.

I’m not supposed

To feel this way as each passing day goes by

I just know this feeling isn’t going away, and the truth is I’m not sure that’s a good thing.

Each day seems more prolonged, and the craving so much stronger than before.

What to do is the question I ask myself over and over again.

As the situation feels such strain on it that there is no going back from this, and I just can’t believe it’s come to this.

To say goodbye or hello for the last time, I don’t know which one will hurt the more.

So young

And curious you’re are of everything around you.

No leaf or ground is off limits.

Too cute to be by yourself as that’s when you cause the most trouble.

But to stay mad at you isn’t possible for you to have brought so much joy into my life.

To be young and curious forever, I hope!
