As

a kid I liked to play outside, inside and my head was always in the clouds daydreaming.

There was no stress other than not being good at reading and well public speaking was something I wanted to avoid.

As I became a teenager there was lots of stress with homework and what not to do. To stay on the right track and still have fun.

And one day to be done with high school and go on to college, so many plans and so many of them changed overtime.

To becoming an adult and realizing so much time had gone by and now stress was like my best friend always around.

I’m still daydreaming but, my eyes are more open to things going on around me and my heart more protected than before.

So many stages in life to go through but, if I didn’t go through them would I truly be me right now.

Someone who cares but doesn’t sit around waiting for anyone to come to their senses.

I am still a kid at heart but, now I have so many responsibilities that I must be an adult to who does what I need to do and to not let anyone get in my way.

Daily Prompt: Fake

I thought I knew you

someone who wanted to better their self.

But in reality, you just wanted attention

and if you received it great but if someone

just didn’t give it.

That was so not acceptable

you were fake down to everything that

made you who you are and were.

Sometimes it’s hard to see the fake people

for who they truly are.

For they put a smile on their face when they see

you, but inside they dislike you for your different.

You stay true to yourself even when they try to

push you down the path of faking it until you make it.

But you see you for who you are, and you rather not end

up feeling lost.

You found your path and you rather not be dragged down

something that is fake and will end up causing you more

pain in the end.

Because when fake walks away with a smile on their face, knowing

that they ruined something that never needed to be fixed in the first place.

They have gained something that is yours, your worth and knowing

being different is better than fitting into the box of fake or normal.

Be yourself, never let the fake win in the end, for your worth is too important

to put into someone else’s hand.
