I can’t do

this anymore the feeling of just holding it all inside

is killing me slowly but, yet I don’t want it all out in the open

for anyone to hear.

I know that my words will not do anything and so I say quiet and complain to the ones that are close to me and let everything else in life just fade away and not worry about the tomorrow’s for there is no way of knowing how it will workout.

For I Just close my eyes and let it all fall around me and maybe some things will stick and others will just keep falling through the cracks.

I know that it is a time for change and it is a time to figure it all out for the answer isn’t going to come to me if I just sit here and worry or wander what could happen if I just dont step out and ask for help and then do it.

No worries about the things I seem to not be able to afford for when the time comes it will all work it’s self out.

If I don’t go all in now I will never just take that next step and I will never know if this situation could help all my other problems with one clean swipe.

I guess I never will know the answer if I just sit around with the finish product right next to me and just hope someone else will stumble into me and just happen to read some of it.

Knowing that

everything  has been leading up to this moment.

Feels tiring and exhausting.

I all I can think about is going to bed and not having to deal

but there is just one more day that I have to get through before.

I am free from the demands and the headaches and everything

that is continually falling on my shoulders everyday and week.

As if I am just so strong that nothing will or can break me but that is not

how I feel or how my body feels.

To be glad that tomorrow is Friday and I just have to get through the day to taste the freedom that is ahead of me feels so damn good.

Joy it’s Friday

the last day of stressing out.

The day that will fly by so fast I won’t have to worry about what is left behind.

The sun will shine so much brighter today just knowing we all need a break.

I will smile more just knowing I don’t have to rush around tomorrow.

I will finally have time to think without someone yelling commands at me.

I wont have to solve problems or figure things out all day.

I won’t be a life saver I’ll just be me relaxing and truly enjoying everything around me.

Completely of energy

I feel as if I am walking around on Benadryl  and just need to go back to bed.

As the day goes by I slowly get to work but I know I’m not fully here but I work on anyway.

Walking in slow motion as if I am on the moon and not down here on earth.

Every step is hard to take and I fee like I’m getting no where fast.

But, here I am trying to still do my best in a situation I rather not be in.

I hope  to have more tomorrow or I fear things will not go well and guard dog will be barking at every slow movement I make for they feel everyone is already against them.

But in reality everyone is just trying to get by the best that they can and sometimes we need to slow down and just appreciate everything around us.

What has

this world become as people become animals.

Snapping at you like a snapping turtle because they don’t like to be questioned.

Looking at you as if your are the prey and they are predator and you have crossed over into the lions den.

When will society get their act together and start treating each other with care instead of anger.

It doesn’t matter where you work or how you live.

You are not better or above me and until you realize that you are living a life of ugliness.

And I feel sorry for you for the world is full of some good things and people if you just give them a chance.

For the thing or person your looking for to change your life may just be that person your snapped and slapped at with your words yesterday.

I knew

this day was coming and I don’t feel sad about it but, it’s making me ready to leave and not look back

It’s the feeling of finally knowing there is nothing holding me back.

what am I waiting for when all I want to do is walk right out that door and not worry about karma?

For I did nothing wrong and the things that are about to fall apart had nothing to do with me.

I do what I can and everything else is the doing of others who never truly cared.

This place of fun is now full of resentment and laziness and the answers will not come, for no one wants to ask questions anymore.

Or acknowledge that they have done wrong or willing to fix the problems.

the end to this chapter is coming soon but how soon is really up to you.

One

day is all it takes to change things for yourself.

One day is all you have to really relax and not stress out about the things you can’t control.

One day and one moment is all I want and need to just not think about the things other people are doing wrong.

One day is all I need to change what is coming my way.

I need a moment to breath and smell the fresh air and let the sun shine down on me.

I know that one day things will be different but for now I’ll take my one day and change it in the best possible way.

For I don’t want to be selfish and make it all about me for one day I want to change it not just for myself but for others who have to deal with the same things I do.

Step at a time isn’t making this moment any easier than I wish it was right now, so exhausted and ready to just give up and not think about anyone else but myself and those around me now. 

Do I have to be more than I know I am capable of achieving just to please everyone else, the truth is I’m so feed up with them all that at this point I don’t want to deal with anyone.

To forget them all and move on would be more rewarding than sticking around and doing it all for them all the time.

Change of direction today was not what I was looking forward too on a Thursday night when all I wanted to do was go home and sleep.

Now I’m forced to pick another route and slowly but surely guide me home, and It makes me become frustrated because I just want to get to my destination with no complications.

But, the  truth is getting to where I need to go is not always up to me  for in any moment it could change and I need to have faith that it will work out in a way that benefits me.

movement of my body as I bend to be come one with the water flowing above me

I am lost in this moment as I sense nothing but the peaceful breeze and sense the calmness all around me.

Everything inside of me that has been building up inside me just growing and intensifying.

As decreased and evaporated from my system as the calm and peace flow into me over and over again like the water above me continues over and over until it too is turned off and let to rest until tomorrow.

I know this moment will not last but the memory of this day will stay with me and remind me when things get tough there will be a break in the storm and until then just breath and enjoy the flow.

just throw it all a way like a hat on a sunny day, when your mood is great that you feel like your floating above the clouds .

With no worry about coming back down for it is so peaceful with no care in the world on how things are going to worry because you will be back before you know it.

The quiet noise about you is the best time to focus and do what you are suppose to do for a moment like this doesn’t come around often.

Letting go!

Poetry

I have

mywords2228

my moments when everything becomes so relatable

that the simple things can bring up emotions.

And I’m not afraid to show them and process them as they come and go.

And sometimes the emotions come so quickly they can’t be experienced in the privacy of my own space.

But, that’s life for you and sometimes we have to express ourselves even in our weakness moments that don’t feel like something we want to experience or explore in that moment.

It’s time to let it all out and hope that the strength that I am looking for will come again so that I can fight through this process but, at the same time not take this time for granted for it is something I need to do.

To move on from this side of the road for there is another crossroad I need to meet at and this time I may not go right but,  I know that I won’t be going back either.

time to get away and let the stress wash right off of me as I sit in a new place that replace all the stress with relaxation.

To feel the joy of not having to worry about anything of anyone for right now this is my time to get lost in a good way.

To feel like there is no rush to do what I need to do and to breathe through it all because at the end its me who will have a smile on my face.

now I just want to be myself and

embrace my style even though it’s different.

I feel good and I know there is nothing that can stop me for being happy with being me.

The day is a little cloudy outside but not even the gray skies can bring my mood down.

Sometimes the sun won’t be out to brighten my day and so I must bring my own light out to shine through the clouds.

Today looks like a great day to just be me and I know even if I don’t get to do all that I want to do the little moments I do just get to smile and have a good time will be just what I need.

Week 175 of Three Line Tales

photo by Samuel Taylor via Unsplash

we got look back on the past and appreciate some of the things we had or still have and not just throw them away because their time has come.

But, to look back and say it’s be incredible to be able to see those things because now some moments are harder to recreate when you know those objects are not around anymore.

To the things that were once great and now just memories that will live on with us and others we hope.
