Daily Prompt: Dominant

mywords2228

You walk around feeling you’re so important because somewhere in your past someone told you that you were better than everyone else.

And so if someone is serving you, you feel the need to try to put fear in them as if you have authority over them.

You come off as someone who is going places and yet you put down the people who have actually gone somewhere.

There is more important things in life than making sure, you are seen above everyone else and when you feel no one is on the same level as you.

You end up on the top alone and everyone else that you left behind never thought of you that way.

They just thought of you as someone who was going places and was proud of your success and thought you felt the same way about them too.

Daily Prompt: Tardy

mywords2228

Your running late and all you can think about is how you seem to always be late now.

Apart of you cares and other part really just wants to go back to bed.

Or do anything but what your about to do when you walk through those doors.

You try to put a smile on your face but even you know it’s not really.

Sometimes it’s harder to pretend that you really want to be here today.

When you rather be lost in a good book or watching a good movie.

You watch the time so much that you get frustrated that it’s not time to leave yet.

Daily Prompt: Candid

mywords2228

Wouldn’t you want to be truthful to the one’s that need to hear the truth

maybe in the end the situation would be better.

The truth will set you free and maybe you will like that but, maybe you will not want to be bothered with the truth for it’s better to just accept.

That maybe everything isn’t as great as you thought but, at least the truth is out and everything makes so much more sense.

Daily Prompt: Strategy

mywords2228

My strategy is to get out here as fast as I can for right now the thought of spending another moment in this place is just not thinkable.

I want to be free with a plan of fun things to come and no more stress and worry to overwhelm me right now.

The plan is still unknown to me but maybe one day soon I will get to know the plan that will grow my life to a new level than it is at right now.

Daily Prompt: Horizon

mywords2228

Everyone wants to broaden their horizon and get out there and experience so much more than what they may or may not be offered.

You want to see and feel the beauty of the world that is beyond your neighborhood and town.

You want to take pictures of many things and be in the pictures as well.

Your so interesting in so many things that money can’t hold you back because you know that you  are running out of time.

Daily Prompt: Blink

mywords2228

In a blink of an eye things can turn from good to bad.

In a blink of an eye the dream job you wanted to have as a child could come true and you could be living the life you always wanted.

In a blink of an eye the things that you thought really matter doesn’t matter anymore for you found out the truth.

In a blink of an eye the person that was so sweet and kind to you could turn so bitter and rude.

In a blink of an eye everything that was always the same yesterday could be totally different the next day or week.

In a blink of an eye you could be gone

In a blink of an eye you could make a difference for someone who thought that life just couldn’t get any better for them.

In a blink of an eye you could change it all but, the real question is would you want to?

Daily Prompt: Shock

mywords2228

I’m more shocked that the same stuff still surprises me when it comes to you because the same stuff is still happening.

So when it happens again why do I act like it’s the first time you done  dumb shit like this before.

The look on your face when I just shake my head and walk away doesn’t surprise me anymore and well next thing you know I’m not there to react anymore.

I’ve been shocked enough lately not to be surprised anymore that this is something you have not grown up from yet.

But, it won’t shock me if I get that same old text next week and well I hope you won’t be shocked when I don’t replied and block you well I am at it.

Daily Prompt: Agile

She moved across the stage with so much grace and quickness

it was so amazing to watch you dance that night.

I could see the passion through your every move and the smile on your face showed how much you loved what you were doing.

The happiness radiated off of you even once the show was over and you ran to me and we talked excitedly about the show and couldn’t wait to just leave and catch up again.

Daily Prompt: Study

mywords2228

I study the words in front of me and I get ready to give the speech of my life

but the nerves are building up inside of me and I just don’t know if I can do this.

Practicing the words when I’m alone helps but then I see all the faces and how bored they seem and I realize what if they don’t like it.

What if they think how could they ask her to do this when she clearly can’t do this just look at her, the nerves are written all over her face.

I walk to the podium and sat my papers down and then I begin and once the first word is out, I just can’t stop and then with a blink of an eye it is all over.

And everyone is standing up applauding not booing me off the stage and for the first time that day I release the breath that I truly needed to just let out.

I walk way with a smile on my face and the feeling of success and the nerves are gone as I relive the moment that just happened and the faces were happy and engaged and hanging on every word I had said.

Daily Prompt: Static

mywords2228

The static was overwhelming as I tried to listen to the words that coming out of your mouth on the phone. 

But, soon all I could hear was the storm going on around us in the background and then nothing but static on the line. 

I didn’t know if you had made it to safety in that moment but, I hoped so hard that you had for I just couldn’t picture that being the last time we talked.

Thirty-minutes later you walked in through the door sunken wet from the heavy rain but you were okay and just wanted to get out your wet clothes and maybe have a cup of hot chocolate before going to bed for the night.

You made sure we sat down and talked before heading of to bed and ending this stormy night on a good note.

Daily Prompt: Evoke

mywords2228

So many things evoke memories from the past and some of them are good

and put a smile on my face.

Others make me remember things I thought I had left in the past and had moved on from.

I enjoy the memories evoked by fresh air outside, reminds me of all the time out doors hiking or all the times I spent in the girl scout and when we went camping.

Daily Prompt: Carve

mywords2228

Carve me out and you will see the true me hiding below all the things I’ve piled up on top to protect myself from all the things that are thrown my way daily. 

I try to not let the evil spill into my life and turn what good I have left into something ugly. 

Carve me up and maybe you will finally see all the things you never seems to have the time for when it comes to me. 

Carve me up and maybe you will see all the pain I tucked away because I too didn’t want to deal with it anymore. 

Carve me up and you will finally see and hear the truth I longed to tell you if only you had the time to hear it out.

Daily Prompt: Undulate

mywords2228

She loved to listen to music and just let the beat direct the movement of her body

she would get lost in the music and would just dance for hours no matter where she was, whether she was with friends or just at home.

She would just let her hips move side to side like calming wave in the ocean, everywhere she went the people would get lost in the movement of her body especially when she would dance on stage at a play or show.

She was so graceful like a swan and so innocent like a child when she would smile at you well dancing to a great beat.

Daily Prompt: Brilliant

mywords2228

Your words are always so brilliant that it makes me want to dug deeper and write things with more meaning.

I get lost in all the words you write everyday and I wonder just what you do to create something so great.

So much meaning behind each word that once I read one poem, I have to write them all and in each piece I am inspired and looking forward to what may flow from my mind to my fingers.

As I write a brilliant piece some day soon that will hopefully be just as great as yours but in my words and in my way of writing.

Daily Prompt: Forlorn

mywords2228

A long day and only thing she wanted was for just one thing to go right for her even if it just lasted for five minutes.

She felt hopeless that things were ever going to get better and so she pushed the boundaries more than she should have but, she knew  that nothing was ever going to work out so why chance it.

She fought so hard for this dream that the let down and hopeless outcome really didn’t sit well with her.

The truth was no matter how hard she fought she just couldn’t shake off all the negative feelings and in the end she tried less and her hope for things to ever really work out in the end was so thin that she soon lost sight of what she ever truly wanted out of this life.
