These Stairs

I take every day to get to the path I run on. 

The path that leads me away from my troubles and pains and towards the only time when it just me. 

My thoughts are clear as everything fades away as I run and run until there is nothing left clinging to me. 

I come back more refreshed and at whole then I was when I left this evening. 

I know theses moments are needed as I let go and become free again, my soul so hopeful and yet forgotten now shines like never before. 

I know that my smile will grow more now than before and the results will look better in the long run. 

No more this is just holding me down, I leave everything at my feet as I take off and not look back to all the things that truly held me back for whatever I’m meant to be great at.

I

wanted to try some where new this time for it just was getting a little to boring at the same old favorite place we go to.

I knew the moment you saw the sign you would be willing to try the place out, for you always said it was true about not judging a book or place by its cover or design. 

For there could be a real Jewel inside and you would miss out if you went to somewhere more fancy and flashy, this place had real character too it  and  we will be back.

here we are again waiting for the moment when we have to say goodbye and not see each other for sometime.

The time apart makes us crave to be together again and the time spent together is never enough but, we both knew what we signed up for when we got together and made a family.

We knew the navy came first and our time apart would be long sometimes but, when you came back to us every time it was always worth the wait for you complete us in the end.

So much

to do that I thought if I just take the time to organize the things I may need soon would help clear my mind and help me create something unique again. 

As I looked back at the board of colors I just knew whatever it was that I was going to make would be so colorful it would just bring a smile to anyone and everyone’s face. 

I was thrilled to know that tomorrow I could be creating something new and beautiful if only the right colors would just pop out at me today.

That day

was so peaceful and when the sunset it was a great part of our day that was so relaxing and breath-taking for me.

I know that you were smiling so big that day because this day was the one day we were both looking forward too.

It was a day that would change so much not just for us but, for everyone we know and as the day came down to an end we couldn’t help but feel so grateful to be together and happy at the same time.

I don’t think I’m going in the right direction and I’m fighting to get through the mess that is surrounding me right now. 

I want to break free from it just to really catch my breath and to feel the sun on my face for more than just a few moments. 

If I hadn’t looked up that day maybe I would still be in the same space I was in and right now I just feel like things are slowly picking up even on my darkness days.

The day you graduate from high school seems like the best moment of your life for you accomplish 12 years of school and the freedom feels so damn good right now. 

Then summer goes by and soon you starting college and it’s a new journey you are on and four years pass by so fast that you are again walking across the stage with a smile on your face and well this time freedom is a little more real. 

You feel like you’ve worked so hard for this moment and days later things just don’t seem the way you thought it would be but, embrace where takes you anyways because you know things could be worst.

Even though I am so tired I want to walk to walk off my frustration from this day and from this week that is almost over.

How hard can I work when I physically feel my body aching and I get sick to my stomach when I think of going back, I know this is not normal but yet I put myself through this torture everyday and week.

I thought things were getting better but, now it feels like I’m living in hell full-time and there is no benefits.

Alone I sit here with no worry in the world right now, my mind hasn’t been this clear in so long.

The peace of knowing nothing will bother me as I sit here and wait for my day to pick up the pace.

No rushing for me as I look at the boat we used to paddle out together on, Oh how we wished to escape from this place that brought us more sorrow than joy in the end.

You always  smiled at me even on your worst days, you found a little joy.

Relax your body as we sit here watching the turtle swim towards, it’s a precious sight to be able to watch and enjoy.

The peace that rains down on me it feels so  good and I can’t remember the last time I felt this peace or felt this calm.

My happiness was captured on this day with a simple photo and I realized that the things that feel like their holding me down no longer have the same grip as they had before this day.

So many stories that are being told on those shelf’s and I’ve read them all and yet I need to read more to understand so much more about this thing called life.

It’s funny how when you get lost in a book that you are not thinking about learning anything in this book just wanting to get your mind off your troubles.

You start to grab at each word and connect to almost all the characters because someone has to have been through what you went through in your lifetime.

The city light sometimes overwhelm me as all I want sometimes is a little bit of quiet.

The lights are so bright and I just want to get up and go and explore what is out there for staying inside for so long has made me quite restless. 

Today will be the day that I get to finally be at peace and relax, no time to stress or feel like there is nothing I can control because I only know the basic information.

I so needed a night out and some good drinks and laughter for it’s been rough lately and time just seems to be going by way to fast for me.

I’m always tired and the time for fun just doesn’t seem to be possible lately, I wanted to try the lobster today and anything new.

For I knew tomorrow I would be so worn out from a night I had been waiting for way too long and now that it’s here I don’t ever want to look back again.

A forest is a place of sound but a sound that puts you at ease and the thought of being out in nature is always relaxing.

This time to explore and not think about the things that are coming up and you have to finish when you get back from this trip.

You smile at this moment and hope that things could be this peaceful and easy again and you wonder when will you get another chance like this to get away and just rest easy before you become too wore out to enjoy these moments.

I stand here brave enough to lead the way in this place that has been so dark for so long.

I’m not afraid of what I may come in contact with in this place for I stop fearing stuff a long time ago.

For fear held me back from so many get opportunities that I just grew tired of standing on the sidelines while everyone else is doing what they love to do and pushing so many boundaries.

I too want to be great in my own way.
