Month: March 2021

I to overcome these new challenges as they sweep in so quickly.

I didn’t sense them coming for me.

As the shadows play around me and little bits of lights seep through.

And I realize that the darkness isn’t getting close to me today because the light is all around.

And the darkness can’t compete anymore, at least not today.

Our whys

Stay unanswered and even though we want to know.

It’s not our place, so we have to keep moving forward and living in this space.

That sometimes hurts to be in.

But we have nowhere else to go, so we survive.

And hope he can answer our whys someday.

But the hope of holding on to that truth can get you through it all but sooner or later, your going to break, and shiny shoes won’t be around anymore.

to another day

doesn’t seem to release the stress I seem to still be carrying around.

A moment here and there of relaxing is great but it all seems to come back.

The reason you are working so hard in the first place.

You sometimes want to forget and go back to the simple life you had before.

When your dreams were well just dreams and nothing much was happening with it.

You did what you wanted and you well let things slide all around.

With not much fight in it.

You were just getting by and of course you wanted more.

And now that more is here the work is well never ending and your life

has to change because without a plan it’s going to continue to be a mess.

And well no one likes cleaning up messes that seem to rule you day and night

if you do nothing about it.
