Daily Prompt: One-way

mywords2228

Sometimes there is only one way out of the situation that you are in

and sometimes to be on the right path you have to put your blinders on and not look at the things that are distractions.

The one way path may not be the way for everyone because your path sometimes turn down a different path that can lead to many great options for you to choose from.

But, in the end you will travel down one road for the rest of your life and every now and then there will be bumps in the road.

And new chances will come your way and maybe it’s best to have a little faith and do what is best for you.

Daily Prompt: Bite

mywords2228

Bite size food is for little kids but sometimes as an adult you just want to enjoy something small for a change.

To bite into something you been craving feels like heaven when it melts on your tongue

To bite someone when you’re a baby is just you trying to relieve the pain of teething and not just for people but for dogs too.

Until you learn or they learn it’s not nice to bite the one’s you love.

The Daily Prompt: Mercy

mywords2228

To have mercy on someone who has done you wrong, sometimes is hard for all you want to do is be nasty right back at them and not forgive them at all.

But, then you think two wrongs won’t make a right and the right thing to do is forgive them and move on.

For if they lie once who knows if they will lie again, but you don’t let them keep you distracted for long.

For you have so much to look forward too that the world that seems to be throwing the hard times at you isn’t trying to break you and let you stay down but in a way it’s having mercy on you.

For God will give you for your sins but it is up to you to change your ways and even if you don’t believe you know what’s wrong and what’s right and to have mercy on others is probably for the best for you never know when you need someone else to forgive you.

Daily Prompt: Gremlins

mywords2228

It was like every other day of her life but today was the day that he decided to have a problem with her at work.

She tried to get to the bottom of why he had such a nasty attitude towards her but he said the problem he felt could not be easily be explained with her words and so he decided his actions would be better.

But, the way he was acting didn’t explain anything to her other than maybe he needed a couple of days off for the stress of the job was slowly getting to him now that the holidays were right around the corner.

Daily Prompt: Sludge

mywords2228

The rain poured down outside all day long and as it stopped before she left for work

she didn’t think much about how wet it was for she just needed to get to work on time and not get wet along the way.

Or how so she thought but, as she took a couple of steps away from her home and was starting to be on her way to work.

She slipped on a big spot of mud and rude everything she thought she be wearing on the way to meeting someone before work.

Turned out in the end of being washed and for her to dress up with only five minutes to leave before she becomes super late and everything she worked hard on will all workout in the end.

Usually mud doesn’t matter her and for the first smile and the first picture of a baby smiling was sometime times an act of cuteness but to Morgan it feels like a win or negotiation.

Daily Prompt: Honk

mywords2228

As a child every time you were on a field trip as the bus drove up next to a truck you would hope that it would honk and if it did you and all the other kids would cheer.

Just those little simple acts would bring joy to our lives but as we grow up we forget about the little things sometimes.

And the honking you here now are when someone is not paying attention to the road when they are driving and you just really don’t want to get hit today.

Or you honk because they are frustrating you and you feel they should be moving a little faster for you because you have somewhere to go and your running a little late.

Daily Prompt: Dubious

mywords2228

Everything now just feels so uncertain and the direction I need to go in just can’t be found right now.

I’m wondering through life right now with no way of knowing if I’m doing it alright when the feelings inside of me are all jumbled up inside.

I try each day to try to sort through the things that are unclear to me but it seems like each step gets me no where.

I’m almost at the point of just giving up and just living with the knots and loops that have formed in my life.

And just accept this uncertain in my life and just work around it and hope that it may just work out on its own in time.

Daily Prompt: Riff

mywords2228

The riff at the beginning of his song set the tone for the whole night as his show went from good to great.

The crowd listened on and cheering and screaming when their favorite songs came on and the music played on and on.

I felt like I was becoming apart of the music as the night went on and on.

It was a moment to remember and something that I look back on today because it became apart of me loving music even more.

Daily Prompt: Black

mywords2228

It was dark so much sooner now that daylight saving had ended and I just needed to keep on moving if I wanted to get home soon and out of the dark black night.

All around me the shadows played and everything seemed to echo as I quicken my steps to get home as fast as my little short legs could take me.

I knew I shouldn’t have stayed out so late but I was having so much fun that I just hadn’t stop to think about how dark it would be out tonight.

As I rounded the corner to my house, I didn’t see the lights coming toward me until it was too late.

Or at least I thought it was too late but, out of nowhere he grabbed me back just as a crazy driver turned the corner and kept on speeding down the ride with no care in the world.

He asked if I was okay and I said yes and he walked me cross the street and told me to be more careful next time for people around here don’t care if it’s a residential   neighborhood.

Speeding is in their blood and it at least once or more someone gets hit and it’s always because someone is being careless and speeding to get home or to work.

He walked away and soon he had disappeared into the night as I ran the rest of the way home and didn’t stop until I made up to my door and was safe inside.

I’ll never forget that day for if I do It feels like I’m being ungrateful for if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be here now living the dream life I have always wanted.

Daily Prompt: Neophyte

mywords2228

At some point in our lives we were newcomers and didn’t know anyone as we learned the basic subjects of school like Math.

You walked in the school hoping that you would be left alone for she wasn’t all that worried about making friends.

Being a newcomer was something she was beginning to get used too and that it was okay to just have no one trying to be fake with her just to get to know all about her like the last school.

She had math first period and so far everyone kept themselves busy with the warm-ups we did the first thing the beginning of class.

So while we solved the problems on the board, He would check to see who did their homework and the one’s that didn’t and will try to turn it in after the warm up.

She wasn’t that good at math but she promised her parents that she would try to do better when it came to her school work.

So she asked for help and hoped for the best when it came down to studying and learning all she needed to know and do this week.

The tutor was a guy who was really good and math and someone the teacher thought would be a good fit for her and she hoped so too for she really wanted to learn math and finally understand it.

Daily Prompt: Gingerly

mywords2228

She had to be gingerly as she walked up the stairs so late after a long night at work.

she was just glad to getting to bed for she just didn’t think her body could go any farther on the amount of energy she had been using  up the last couple of days.

She had to be quiet as she came through the door for her roommate was probably already asleep.

She couldn’t remember a night that she wasn’t so exhausted that she didn’t remember when she fell asleep.

She just got ready for bed and soon was passed out and in the morning she would be well rested but the long days of work would soon rob her of her energy.

Days off became shorter and work became longer and she just wanted to breath without being at the same place over and over again.

Even though she liked her job she needed time away from all the stress.

Daily Prompt: Dancing

mywords2228

You danced with so much grace on the stage last night that even though I was dragged to this talent show. 

I couldn’t get over how  amazing it was to see you move the way you did with so much ease and confidence, you didn’t let anything slow you down. 

The raw emotions I saw as you performed every move with so much ease and perfection, it showed how dedicated  you are to your dance and your smile glued me to my seat and I couldn’t look away if I tried. 

You smile gave me hope that one day I could be on the stage with you and all the people I knew were going to go somewhere and this was going to be the dream that they accomplished some how and some way. 

So times I felt so tore about how I could just take the risk of failure and just have a leap of faith that this too could work out for me.

Daily Prompt: Faint

mywords2228

The voices of the people I thought would stay in my life

for a long time became faint as I walk away that day.

I didn’t remember what they said to me but my heart still feels a little empty

from the piece of me they took that night.

They didn’t even see me walk away or even cared if I had showed up

but the words they said just hit me so hard I felt pieces of my heart fall away and the pain was so much I almost fainted.

But, some how I got the strength to turn around and walk out that door and go to a place that ended up saving me from not recover from that pain.

There had always been someone there for me that didn’t like the other people I hung out with but respected that I like them but, always warned me that one day things would come clear to me.

And the first thing you did that night wasn’t tell me you told me so but, that you would do anything to take this pain away and that trying to get revenge wasn’t worth it for karma always comes back around.

My heart is fully healed now and you are still by my side not only protecting me but the family we built together and maybe one day our kids will have a friend who stands up for them like you did for me that day.

Daily Prompt: Egg

mywords2228

Eggs I love to eat the scrambled

but eggs remind me of when I was a kid

and Easter would come around and you would go out searching for eggs

full of candy or toys and the joy it would bring me.

Now Eggs could mean am I putting all I have into one basket and just hoping it works out or am I allowing myself to try new things and go from there.

I  have to trust that even if I fail and that egg breaks I still have more to give at whatever I want to try my hand out.

My eggs aren’t breaking now but even when they do I’ll clean up the mess and do better next time and know that this isn’t the last thing I will do.

Next time I will go farther and the outcome will be better all I have to do is have a little faith and know I got this before I go in  feeling defeated before the battle has even begun.
