I want to

disappear when you are  near me.

But, invisibility isn’t a trait I’ve developed and so every time you come around I try with all my might not to turn into jello.

I want to act normal and not feel like when you’re around I can’t seem to stop the fast beating of my heart.

The slowness of the time we spend together but some how you seem so calm and collected.

You smile and the wood inside of me catches fire and warmth spreads inside of me and the coldness of the winter soon fades from my mind.

You dance around me like the flames of the fire dancing around inside of me, your movement so smooth and defined.

You are the bright star I’ve been looking for every night I look up at the sky and wonder what is it that’s missing from my life.

You came out of nowhere and you stamped your claim on my life, my heart before I could blink an eye.

And you made it clear you won’t going anywhere and in my heart and my mind I believed and trusted your word.

Words

floating around in my head as I try to recall the specific moment that I just truly fell in love

with music that every time I have writers block or just need a pick up.

All I know is the moment my headphones go on and the music starts to play in my ears this feeling of happiness just flows inside me and I smile for the little things in life that may be bothering me just disappear.

And I’m transported into a world of nothing but great moods and feelings of pure happiness and it just makes me appreciate the voice singing to me.

For who would I be if music wasn’t available to me?

A question I don’t know the answer to but, I do know who I am today has a lot to do with God and somewhere a long the way he opened my ears for music just means more to me.

He opened a new door to me and that specific moment changed everything for me and there hasn’t been a day that I have forgotten that.

Poetry

So strong

is  your will to carry on and some may say how can you feel this way when the world is not always a great place to be.

How can you smile and skip when you have the same struggles in your life as I do and I just can’t seem to pick myself up?

But, there you are smiling and going with the motion and not letting all the craziness get you down.

But, you see even the happiness person can be sad too but they choose to let that emotions be in that moment and move on to better things.

They don’t let it bubble up inside because, they have learned that lesson many times over and over again.

So, smiling to them and being happy in the moment is the brighter side of their life even when they have so many questions in their life that is still not answered.

They have learned to keep moving but to not just be getting by but truly throwing themselves into the fire.

And when it gets too hot they back out just a little bit, yet they never give up.

They choose to change their mind set and believe they can do this all they must do is take a minute and breath because life only gets better if you are fully in it and fighting with all your have.

Because no one is your biggest cheerleader then yourself and once you believe and trust yourself, you will be unstoppable on your best and worst days.

Daily Prompt: Abide

I can’t abide your decision for I don’t want to just walk away over such a small argument

So much time spent trying to build something into something great.

Only to let one little thing change everything for me and you, would be so wrong  and I don’t want to live my life with anymore regrets.

That I can’t change now even if I wanted too, the past is better left alone so I beg for you to just fix what’s wrong now and we won’t have to look back at this day and wish something else had happened.

Poetry

I’m drowning

in the feelings that keep bubbling up inside me when your around.

Your eyes always hold me in place until I fear I won’t ever move again.

Your voice so smooth it melts me like chocolate on a hot day!

I want to have peace with you so the light inside my heart shines so bright like a flashlight.

Guiding you through the tough things in life.

I want to bring you back from the darkness and hope it will be a permanent thing.

I don’t want to lose you again for in the end.

Moving on without you is something I don’t want to picture happening again.

I want to feel safe in your arms for a lifetime.

I want my words to be forever inscribed in your mind.

I’m ready for you and everything that you stand for and everything you will stand for one day.

At my limit

With you right now, I’m annoyed and just over it.

Words can no longer express how I feel for no amount of words can fully describe how your acting.

The anger build up inside me and it’s not just for me but for others that you have burned.

I feel like I want to protect them and not let you harm them with your words.

But, something inside me stops me from saying the words I need to say to break you down a couple of steps.

I have never known someone to be so nasty before.

Your words are toxin and your heart is blacker than coal.

Nothing you do or say proves to me that you care enough to stop.

You just pretend like a child that you have done no wrong and should be forgiven.

But, honey I can forgive but I will not forget and if I wasn’t  the person I am in today.

I would have told you off by now and let it be done for you will never have my trust or respect.

This world needs love and not your ugly hater to continue to grow.

I am fighting for the good and trying to stop all the wrong and the ugly in life.

I have grew up and have put away my childish ways, when will you do the same?

Daily Prompt:Subdued

She felt sad when looking at you that morning because, she felt

the weight of a loss friendship coming her way and she just didn’t know what went wrong.

The laughing and joking around and just enjoying each other company seemed so great and just seemed like everything had been so good just yesterday.

But today the breeze that blew through you together was nothing but unfriendly, she couldn’t even stand to look at you for she knew that hurt would shine right through.

She didn’t want to see you and she hoped that she could avoid you until the day came that she didn’t care anymore.

But, the truth is that day wouldn’t come for her heart was too big and even when she was hurt by you.

She still cared and as she tried to shake these subdued emotions away, it was hard for her to see you again that day.

Poetry

Bottled up inside

I didn’t think this through,for if I did I wouldn’t be feeling so down

nothing seems to make sense.

And it’s all bubbling up inside, the emotions waiting to spill over

like a volcano it’s ready to explode.

Sending every emotion up at once and there is no stopping it.

It’s too late to run from all the things that have been bottled inside

even if  you could escape.

You would have to pick what your running from, your anger or your sadness

your happiness or your peace.

Your passion that pours into your dreams and goals or your fears that hold you back from letting anything come true.

Or seem real, are you going to make the choice to keep it all inside or let it all out one at a time.

So that the possibility of ending up with your peaceful happiness that burns.

Bright from the passion that pours from you and your anger and sadness won’t matter anymore for you will be living the life you always wanted.

Without the fear of doing nothing is better than doing something and failing at it.

Life is to short to keep it all bottled up inside, let it out to explore the possibilities of creating something different.
