To allow

myself to move to the right beat feels so right as the song plays on and my body moves right then left.

Soon I am lost in the beat and loving the sounds around me as I go about my routine, hoping to find the right moves that will create something worthy of praise.

But what I really look forward too is knowing that I have created something amazing and incredibly unique as the music connects to me and my soul with every movement that is perfectly timed.

To leave

would be great as you get on the boat and finally leave behind the view you’re no longer in love with.

To walk away with a smile on your face and to face change head on and no longer worry about the things you couldn’t change.

To breathe in and out the fresh air of freedom and finally be at peace and let the tension from your shoulders fall right off.

As you watch a new view, come into your life and you embrace the unknown with so much joy.

In that

Moment you were what I needed

But now you’re what I want.

But it’s been so long since you spun me around and took me off my feet.

Had me floating like never before.

You always put a smile on my face

But now your gone and only thing still around is the dust on that photo we took so many years ago.

We wish

things could have been different or maybe only I do and for you, it’s all just a blur and maybe one day you will remember how it all started.
But for now, it’s all just memories now and no need to relive it or worry about it, for the end game will all be the same.
To put up and deal with it seems like a simple thing but that would be a lie and sometimes lies just aren’t worth it anymore.
Time goes by and you realize that your thoughts and work and time just aren’t focused on that matter anymore.
And you forget about that subject and you move on and learn so much more.
But when their world shifts and well things may not be that great the tunnel you forgot to close.
They will use to crawl through and hope you left a way for them to get back in, for you allowed it before and the past always hunts you in the end.

It has

to begin somehow, even if it makes no sense

it just needs to be written and expressed in a way that draws them in.

Only time will tell if it’s worth the risk.

So little or maybe too much, but there it is out there for all to see.

Maybe not for the first time, but definitely not for the last time.

Words and emotions and feelings all wrapped up in a piece of encouragement or pain or even faith.

But it’s up to you to write it and maybe it’s not happening today or tomorrow but someday soon.

And all you have to do is wait for it to come to you and for it to show you the way and then write it and share it and don’t worry about the numbers, for they will come and go.

I can

Run from you but I can’t run from myself.

I put this off for far too long

It’s time to deal with it now, or it will continue to grow until I’m stuck in it too.

With No escape plan needed this time as I walk to my last destination.

I hope to put everything back in order again.

Therefore, Sitting on the sidelines to my own story isn’t an option I can afford anymore.

Especially if I want my story to have a good ending

And impact someone other than myself when it’s all said and done.
