Quote of the day


Calling out to you like an SOS, and yet you stand there as if you can’t hear me.
Am I too late, and now am I a ghost to you? I wave my hand in front of your face, and you do nothing.
Not even a blink of the eye and I wonder if I am a goner, and there is no saving me now.
But the truth is you don’t want to save me, and I would say how can I blame you because I’ve put you through so much.
But that’s not the case, for it was me who saved you first, and somehow, I now live the life you once got saved from.
And when I reach out, you stumble back like this is the first time you’re seeing me, and you don’t want to save me as you smile and walk away.
Because to you, there is no going back, and if you help save my soul, you might lose yours again, and you don’t feel you have the strength to take that risk again.

Do I have to reach out only to get my hand slapped away?
For me to realize you don’t want my help, and you don’t need me around anymore, and once I’m gone, will you even notice.
Maybe over time, you will, but I doubt it, and I’m okay with that now, even though tears still fall when I think of you.
But I knew moving on was what I needed to do if I wanted to keep growing as a person, and one day, I will reach all my goals, and I will look back and appreciate all that you had given to me and my life at that time, and place.

Not meant to be great
Or end up being more than above average.
But does that mean I should give up?
No, I shouldn’t because being great takes practice, and if I keep trying and changing what I do, maybe one day.
I will be great, or at least to me, I will feel worthy and well self-love and belief goes a long way in life.

How I cry for you
In the uncertainty of my life, I can’t sleep, and here I am facing the unknown, and I know as I close my eyes soon things will still be a little shaky.
And as I pray for my heart and soul out to you, I know things will get better, but right now, I feel the sadness more than before when I hadn’t given my life to you.
Oh, how those times, I was so dramatic and immature and unclear as I focused on the wrong things and lost myself to this world.
However, you saved me from that time of what I thought was great pain but was more of me finding myself in a world that didn’t understand me for me.

To get out of my head right now, which in return makes everything so much harder.
Creating a brick wall that, no matter how hard I try to knock down, I couldn’t because they were as strong as I’ve always been and known to be.
Because for a long time, I had to protect myself all on my own, and there was no one to turn to when times got tough.
Sometimes I felt all alone, even when I never indeed was, because a part of me was missing, and at the time, I didn’t know my lord was watching out for me.
But now I know, and peace and comfort are what I feel when I ask for help. But the struggle is still inside of me, and my mind is still fighting itself for clarity and understanding of what is going on around me.

They say three is a crowd but not with us, for it’s always been us three against the world.
Stubborn and strong and determined to get our way when we wanted something.
We don’t give up quickly, and we don’t let others get too close either, only because we have seen moments when trust has become an issue.
So we keep our circle small, move through life at our own pace, and think about things before taking on significant risks.
Because for us, three is just what we need to get by in this life as our puzzle pieces continue to fit together.

Three lines tale week 296

I will get away from all the noise and let the trees and the sound of nature keep me company.
I will let the wind blow me around like the fallen leaves on a windy day and just let go of all those emotions out into the atmosphere to avoid going back to reality feeling the same before the escape.
Because it’s time for a change, one that only happens when my season has arrived and I accept the change.
