I hadn’t

meant to fade away from your life

but I found myself and as I focused more on myself

I was so happy with the growth and the energy.

There is less doubt and uncertain in me now.

As I keep walking on this path that I hope will continue to nurture my soul.

And maybe one day if you ‘re lucky you will see me full and present in your life or at least see what I have become from a far.

Our spot

Week 290 of Three Line Tales

I came back to our spot hoping to feel your presence well, staring at the stars, as this was the place you loved the most.

This was the place that let you recharge and become centered with yourself again and again, as sometimes reality took a lot out of you.

This place is the last thing we did together before you took your last breath, and you told me if I ever needed you to come back, and you would be there for me in the best way you could be..

I never thought

I’d be this happy just to walk out the door and feel freedom on my face and my soul.

My whole being is free from the evil that lurks in the corner.

Waiting to rob you of your joy and your energy and then play it as if they did nothing wrong.

The lack of hope that things will get better doesn’t stop me from smiling as I am in my happy space.

And all that evil and wickedness can’t touch me anymore.

And hopefully one day it will no longer be my problem.
