They told me not to go in the room which light is left on at night when all is dark but, I just couldn’t sit by and keep wondering.

What was inside for I just had to know for myself if the stories were true and if I would make it out that door again. 

I slowly walked down the stairs and towards the door in hope that I would be alive and around to tell what I had seen that night, as I got closer to the door I heard voices talking and not just about anything but about me and then I looked through the crack in the door and what I saw was unbelievable that I never spoke it of it the next day or ever.

Is where some people want to be right now just to relax for time being.

But, some of us aren’t lucky enough to go to the beach so we try to have our moments calm.

It may not last for very long but it helps pick our spirits back up and be ready to ride the next wave.

This time and let me lead you to a place you never thought you were worthy or could go too. 

Let me show you that you are more than what meets the eye, you are amazing and caring and just so kind that anyone who doesn’t want to get to know you is missing out on such a great gem. 

Sometimes in life you feel like there was something you missed out on and you try will all your heart to try to get that moment back but it never feels the same, that’s because you can’t go back in time and change what you missed out on you just have to accept it and move on.

is what I’m looking at right now but, it was worth it as the artwork that is on my easel that is placed on the side. 

I know today I made more a mess than usual but, the feeling I felt when the paint hit the canvas and started making something so breath-taking I can’t believe it was created by me. 

I looked forward to the day when I stopped feeling like my creative mind was locked away and just not coming back at this point but, after today I know that there is nothing in my way now.

I let you pour it all over me so that you could not hear from me as I became the art piece I always wanted to be, at first glance you may feel that I am something to awe and wow at. 

But, sooner or later you will wonder why me and not you, this piece represents how messing life can get and yet show how there is still good things that come from it. 

 And that sometimes when it become such a mess you feel like you have no voice to share with anyone and so you choose to just be silent for the time being.

Searching for a way out of this hot dried up place that not leading to the place I want to be right now.

I feel like I’m always thirsty for a way out and even when I take a drink it just never seems like enough and I’m left craving for more and hoping for more.

Will my time ever come or will I always wonder is this all there is for me and nothing more will happen even when I try my hardest to do the best for me.

from all the stress that is getting to me I just need to get away and just be relaxed with no overwhelming thought of what I didn’t get to or what I could have done better. 

I stand out here just trying to capture this peace I’m hoping to find when I’m away and enjoying the time I have off with no care in the world of the outside things. 

Just enjoying the quite and nature all around me as I know soon I will be sailing back into the port and be back in the reality I left behind.

I let it float up high in the sky that night in the hopes that this love would last for a long time.

I knew this night would be so romantic and sweet for you and me and I would treasure it with all the other happy memories.

Your smile was so bright and lovely that night, I’ll never forget how happy you looked.

Even though we are so close my unique style always set me apart when it comes to you, my  bright colors always made me be the first one they pick and you always second.

You didn’t care for how bright I was for with all that I had going on the outside you felt there is was something I was hiding in the inside and you just needed to know.

Even though we were different and people pick me most of the time you know how I feel towards you and that’s, that we are still there for each other in the end for I care for you my friend.

When I looking my reflection in this dirty water, I wonder who am today and who I used to be.

I’m not that bright person I used to be full of light and hopeful in the things life throw at me.

Now I see nothing good happening as the problem becomes unsolvable, no matter how hard we work our lights are gone for good this week.

The day is coming to an end as the sun sunsets and all try to finish up their work for the day.

Thinking about what they would be doing when they get home and will they be relaxed enough to enjoy their time of freedom.

I like the quietness as the boats are abandoned as everyone is enjoy their down tine and hope to be wiser in the decision they made there today.

I don’t want to say yes to you or anyone right now, for I just want to be left alone and not bothered. 

I just need things to be quite and I just don’t want to fight this anymore for if I don’t get this break I’m going to scream. 

I don’t want to fall apart because of the stress is just too much so I will say no because, saying yes is not helping me and right now I’m barely holding on.

Dancing in the darkness only helps me to not be afraid of the things that haunt me in the shadows. 

I danced my heart out knowing there was no fear left in this place to haunt me and make me be afraid of doing the things I need to do, for only over time will I truly see how strong I am. 

My love for dance overpowers everything I ever loved and cared about because right now I’m lost in a place of peace and happiness and nothing seems to get through this joy that fills me up inside.

Lost in the colors and how tall the rocks are that everything in life that has been black and white just don’t compare to these bright colors that make me happy and at peace. 

This trip was something I needed so badly, to be out in the middle of nowhere and just stare at the simple things in life and not stressing over the things that seem to be out of my control no matter what.

I know that this trip will be the last bit of relaxation for me for a while and I’m grateful that I could make this trip with you  for who knows where time will push us next.
