by the feelings growing inside.

Sometimes I confused them because I care too much

and I just want to fight your battles even though I know you

can fight just fine by yourself.

It’s hard to walk away when the things that hurt you, hurt me too.

I want the best for you and I don’t stop to worry about myself for I know

God has all my worries and hope in his hand.

So I pray like crazy for things to be better for you not because I pity or feel sad for you

but because I know your strong enough to do it all on your own but, something inside of me just doesn’t want you to have to do it alone anymore.

Like a guardian angel I watch over you and listen to your thoughts as you share them and hoping one day I’ll hear about your life truly taking the turn I knew it always would.

And being so proud and happy that I’m not the only one on the right path to a life that even in the toughness times I still see the hope at the end of a very dark tunnel.

I recognized you by your smile

one that haunts me in my dreams.

I thought I’d never see you again and

then there you were standing with a group of friends.

Laughing and smiling like you had no care in the world

and then as if you sensed someone watching you, you turned my way

and at first I thought you wouldn’t recognize me.

But then you smiled and you waved at me and then you turned around and said something

to your friends and then begun to walk my way and it felt like I was glued to that spot.

As you got closer all I could think of was would it feel like were strangers to one another or would we fall back into the friendliness we have always had.

And then you hugged me and I felt my body and soul relax as you recognized me and you still knew what I needed when I couldn’t even admit it to myself.

That day I found a part of myself I didn’t even know had been missing and that smile doesn’t haunt me anymore as I see it light up just for me every day now.

Your heart to me

Don’t fear that I won’t break it

just take this chance with me.

Trust me that I will do all that is in my power to protect you and your heart.

You see your so precious to me that I can’t stop loving you.

No matter how many times you push me away, I won’t stop loving you and catching you.

The world is pushing you around like twister picking you up and around you go until you fall to the ground broken.

But, you see with me the storm can’t touch you so please just take my hand and hold on tight.

For the ride I’m taking you on will be bumpy but, when you finally trust in me it will smooth out.

And it will end with our hearts filled to the max and you will always feel safe with me.

The first time I saw you, I was automatic drawn to you

Those eyes so dark and shy, I knew you were trouble before you opened your mouth.

I moved to you like standing next to you was where I was meant to be for the rest of my life

and at first you agreed and our time together was like magic and no matter how much time we spent apart.

The next time I saw your face I automatically fell for you again and you would swipe me right off my feet again.

And I would lean into you when I needed your support or just wanted to feel safe with your long arms around me.

I was your girl until the day your light turned on in your eyes and the darkness automatically turned off and took away the man I once loved.

And I’m left with nothing but the ability to look across the room and see you the man I used to know, become the stranger who forgot who I was and what I meant to you.

If only I could go back and save you from your pain and darkness you now live in all alone.

It’s a long

mywords2228

path to travel and yet the words have always been there and as I hear the music come on I know that I’ve run out of time.

It’s now or never for me to just spill it all and as I sit here I’ve just finally feel the feeling of your peace wash over me.

And as I pull up to your place and I jog to your door in the rain, I didn’t care how I may look because I just needed to get it all out.

So I knocked on your door like a crazy women and after five minutes you finally came to the door.

Half a sleep but alert enough to know that whoever was knocking on your door at this time of night better have a good excuse.

You open the door about to speak your mind but when your eyes land on me you don’t say a damn thing.

You just stare and swallow like your so nervous that I’m here and shocked and surprised all at the same time.

And then all I had to say flies right out my mouth as if I’m about to not exist anymore and the last thing.

I said was I love you and I just had to get that off my chest or it would drive me insane.

You look at me with your blue eyes that are so cloudy right now, with so many emotions running around inside of you.

Then it all just settles and a look of relieve falls on your face and you smile and you say, “It’s about time you come to your senses and get in here before you catch a cold and, I love you too.”

Ending that long path with a happy ending with so many great beginnings too.

There’s

mywords2228

something inside of me that is awakening this morning and it feels so right and it feels like home.

I’m on my way to seeing the bigger picture of who I’m suppose to be, I’ve thrown away all the things that made me doubt myself and made me crawl into the hole of darkness.

The darkness that seemed to control my life for so long that I couldn’t see the people who care for me.

But, that darkness doesn’t exist in my present as the light out shines everyone who doesn’t know the real me.

You see I used to be so broken that the pieces that were there won’t enough to keep me going and, as I fought to keep up this wall that kept the real me hidden.

It was failing so bad that pretending wasn’t option for me anymore and I had to act quick or I would be seen as weak and not in the right mind.

So I fought with all my might and I realized my worth didn’t depend on where I wasn’t in my life and what I wasn’t doing.

So yea I’m not doing what they say I should be but, I don’t care because I’ve never been in such a better place in my life.

There’s something awakening inside of me right now and I won’t trade it in for what you may be doing in your life.

For my happiness and well-being is more important to me, so back off for my ending will only end in knowing I did what I was supposed to do and if you really cared you support me no matter what.

Joyful

Thinking about you brings so much joy to me that I wonder is something really happening between us, as I look deeply into your eyes I begin to see it all play out in front of me.

As I hear the beating of my heart match the beating of your heart, I realize we only have this time together.

Before life rips us apart and our time split in so many ways it will be a miracle if we see each other again.

But, even apart my thoughts always lead back to you and when time gives me a break I’m there for you and I always lose track of time after that.

But, I know no second or minute, or hour is wasted when it’s spent on helping you.

I’m alive

with this feeling slowly growing inside of me as my eyes begin to open and my heart begins to melt.

Everything that used to be so cold inside me is no more and I wonder what has woken me this time of year.

A new start I was looking for, I wonder is this it or am I just falling into another trap.

When will I truly know this is where I’m meant to be and am I suppose to feel this way right now.

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.

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.

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: Year

The new year is here and this is the year for so many great things

I can see it in your eyes as they light up with so much hope as the ball begins to drop

and the new year is cheered on.

You slowly get up and go to bed for the celebration is over and you don’t want to fight the yawns anymore.

As you lay down to sleep you realize the year is here and it’s just another day as life goes on.

And just maybe things will seem different but, only time will tell as this new year begins and life begins to throw you some curve balls.

Daily Prompt: Hopeful

I want to be hopeful that as today ends that great things will be coming my way this new year.

And that everything I need will be presented to me and I will live my life the way God wants me to.

That  I will continue to see the greatest inside of me and to trust my gut when things seem off.

That I will continue to make the right decisions and not let worldly things distract me from my true purpose in life.

I’m so hopeful that everything will be ten times more great than they already are.

Nothing but positivity flowing through me that I could just burst with happiness and light the sky with fireworks.

Hopeful that all dreams will come true  and more people will be believe that they can do the impossible if they just believe just a tiny bit.

Being alive is a hopeful moment every morning when you wake up and realize you  have another chance to make things right with your life.

That yesterday wasn’t the end and your problems won’t as big as you thought they were,

being hopeful gives me so much joy that I hope that I will be hopeful for the rest of my life.

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.

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.
