I know

its not all about me.

And that somethings really are out of my control

and even though I know what is right and I try to do my best to accomplish that.

But there is always someone blocking my path and trying to get out of things that are required of them.

They don’t really care but want to have pockets that are full and belly that are satisfied but their mind and thoughts are always on the edge of unhappiness and all they can do is complain and not see the bigger picture in life.

And they will continue to miss out on the brighter things in life because they don’t realize just how lucky they are in the moment they are in now.

Week 201 of Three Line Tales

photo by Egor Vikhrev via Unsplash

spend more time in the light and less in the dark this year as Christmas is just around the corner and then the year will be almost over  in no time. 

I know that it feels so great to sit with the sun shining down on you even though now those days are few and when it happens it just something to cherish for the moment.

Today is the day I just get to relax and  not worry about anything as the day comes to a end and you head into a night of probably a mess but you hope for the best because you know that the count down to not stress about it is about to happen and you can’t wait for that moment.

Long day

 With so much to do and to learn.

But as I get it together and do my part I realize things will get done only if I take the chance to do what I need to do.

So much going on not enough time to figure it out.

Delay in every corner with no hope of it getting done on time.

No time to pull just time to keep it moving.

With no thought or hope insight.

You thought you were clever today.

But it’s a shame you still don’t see what you’re doing.

It ain’t right but who am I to tell you what to do when everyone else is and yet the story hasn’t changed.

You want to do more and say you are doing the right thing and everyone else is trying to tear you down.

But the thing is we all know the truth and even if we shine some light on it for you.

We will be the bad guys and the cycle of you playing the victim continues on and on.

Until you choose to grow up and take responsibility for the things you did wrong and apologize for not knowing sooner what you had done.

But I know you will not ever change and it will always be someone else fault in the end.

Oh how I love

holidays and how I look forward to them.

For it is a moment in my day that I can rest and play with no worry anyone will be contracting me.

I can truly enjoy what its all about and watch as many holiday movies too with no worry that my time will be up and back to reality I go.

If only my life could be like a holiday on repeat with no sad moments but all full of joy and laughter.

With no worries that others are using me or just giving up and expecting me to pick up where they left off.

To knowing when its time to let go and move on and be at peace with the changes that are coming around.

Because before you know it the holidays will be here and this time things will be more busier than you thought and plans will change in front of your eyes without a care in the world how it just turned you upside down.

I once

was lost in a world I thought I had under control as I had plans and knew what I wanted.

But I soon found out I was in control but only because he let me be but once I gave it all over to him.

I found out that the life I was living was not so great but the life I gained was so much better.

Everything sounded and tasted so much richer and the lift I needed so badly was right now and not then.

I had this hole inside of me that I tried to fill up with worldly things but nothing lasted long enough until he came along and now I know I can have somethings but I dont need them all to be happy and okay.

This fall I’m trying to stumble away from the things that are not right for me and walk into the unknown knowing I am better off now that the door I’ve been waiting for is open now and I’m not waiting around for it to close on me this time.

Falling water so much is falling away from my life.

My mind is working hard to keep up with the added demands this place keeps throwing my way.

You try to say sane but your making mistakes left and right.

You know all you need is some sleep but the demands are still there.

So you close your eyes for just a second and soon so much time has passed, and you wake up all of a sudden.

The demands are no longer apply to you as you enjoy the little freedom you have left in your day.

 Want the best for me

And I hope it does get better.

For I want the outcome for me and to show them I finally got away.

Like a cold morning I come into your life and by noon I quickly disappear again.

From cold to hot the moods of me change as the stress seems to continue on a path of no endings.

Well it ends just not on a good note and the results won’t be in my favor.

At first

it feels like time has slowed down and you are able to look around and see how much everyone is enjoying themselves.

You feel the music as if it is moving around you and you can feel the beat pulsing through you as you get lost in the song.

You know this is your night and it will be one of your greatest moments as you do what you love and trust  that everything will workout.

And you will look back on this moment and hope the next one will be just as great.

away my troubles

I wish it was that easy.

My frustration is growing

so much that its beginning to be out of my control.

I just want to feel at ease and not overloaded at

every corner with no luck of surviving this mess.

Am at my end rope and I’m not worrying about the outcome anymore for if I can just get through one more day that would be just great.

Week 191 of Three Line Tales.

four of us and the chances to get the ball first is in our favorite but what chance it will be me is always on my mind  when we play this game and try to make the best of the days as the weather slowly changes.

We are ready to shine and do our best to get the ball and win in this game we simply play to have a good time.

For once we are home its all about homework and learning and the fun goes out the window and we always wish for more time and energy to get it done.

Week 190 of Three Line Tales

to what I can expect will be a long way up and just too many steps for me to take after a long day at work.

For all I looked forward to was a good weekend out and away from all the drama that has been surrounding me all week long.

Just a moment to just  relax but, I know if I just walk up those steps the feeling of being free and just knowing I made it  this far will be so rewarding at the end of the day and that nothing can bring me down for they can’t reach me tonight.

Tomorrow

what is there to expect.

There is always something

but that doesn’t mean what is to come will be something to look forward too.

But tomorrow will come and I hope it brings me a treat or two for I’m looking forward to something to block out all the things I can’t control.

weather and overworked

Floating on a cloud of a cold

But pushing through the daily grind.

Moving around all the mistakes made by the same person.

I don’t know how to help anymore as they don’t want to listen.

And here I am trying to live in the positive but your negativity is knocking down every wall that I’ve built up to keep going.

I don’t know how much more I can take as you drag me down every time your around.

I want to remove myself to solve the problem but I know it’s not me that is causing the storm that is heading our way.

    Long days

    mywords2228

    and short nights as you feel like you walked out your door far too long ago.

    You ache all over and you know you have to go back tomorrow.

    Yet, all you want to do is go back to bed and sleep the morning away.

    You hit your alarm off but don’t even attempt to get up.

    But at last you check the time again and you know you don’t want to be late.

    And thank god it’s Friday because you don’t want to have to do this all over again.
