I

know this time I need to lay down and not get up so quickly because I don’t need to make a decision right now.

For if I get back up right now the peace and love I feel will go away and the anger and frustration will come back full force and right now I just need this time to center me and worry about me not about the situation I can’t control.

So tired of thinking about the thing that is the elephant in the room even when you are no longer in the room.

You just won’t stay away and your voice just has to be heard and right now all I want to do is not deal with this situation and to truly leave it behind me as I walk away and never look back.

I don’t want to remember you when I open my eyes and move on from this place for you are my worst nightmare the reason little white lies are at the front of my mind every time you ask me to do something on my day off.

Will my life stay like this forever or will I find a way to escape the elephant in the room.

Daily Prompt: Calm

Keep calm the holidays are fastly arriving and the joy is all around.

Your heart is beating calmly before all your family members arrive.

And then you realize there is so much left to do.

And your heart starts to beat a little faster and you feet start to run around a little faster.

And the calm before the storm is over

And you realize there is no going back at this time.

Your calm is over and it’s time to close your eyes and just take deep breaths and hope it all works out.

What’s a couple of days of panic, good sleep, and cheeks hurting laughter going to do to you.

Keep the hope of calmness in your heart and maybe just maybe it will all work out.

I think

I could be someone you like

because I’m not going anywhere

Even on your worse days.

I will stand by and do what you need of me

But don’t think I won’t put you in your place

when you need to calm down or try to push me away.

I’m not afraid to stand up for myself and for that

I think you will like someone like me.
