The number

Week 174 of Three Line Tales

three isn’t just a number to us it has meaning behind it as its the amount of days it took for you to work up the nerves to say something to me.

It’s the amount of times we went out before you told me that seeing other people wouldn’t be necessary anymore for you were the only one worthy of my time.

You won’t over corky when you said it for you always had good intentions and still to this day the number 3 is lucky to us.

It’s

time to take back what is mine and fight to do better.

I won’t settle or wait around for things to just fall into my lap.

I will not be your yes lady and wonder why later I even agreed to this.

I will appreciate the moments given to me and honor all the little things for things could be worst.

The struggle is gone and the hope to move forward is on and looking back at my darkest moments will get me nowhere fast.

Its time to embrace the light and focus on the things that really matter in my life.

center after such a long week wasn’t easy and I feel it still isn’t as I stand on this roof.

Trying to shut out all the words and sounds around me as I focus on what I love to do and not get lose in all that has been going on.

So tired and frustrated and letting all that is around me take away the peace I had stops now and I’m taking back my peace for good.

I love to start my day with a great book to read well attempting to eat breakfast.

I know that I can get lost in a good book and maybe eating breakfast and reading are not all that great of an idea but, I just can’t help myself.

Walking past the kitchen quickly to find the right book before my food greats cold sometimes can be a bit of a challenge but, I’m up for it today and tomorrow and everyday for the rest of my life.

Something

wild is fighting its way from inside me.

And I’m not sure who I will be when it finally breaks through who I used to be.

Will it accept the things that I have been allowing to push me down for too long.

Or will it finally fight back for me and the look on everyone face when I snap or bite back be worth it?

Will this moment change everything and will there be no going back for this moment won’t be a dream.

So

much on my shoulder

And no one is around to help.

Everyone just looking at me as if I have all the answers.

I’m still looking for my own answers and now I have others use me as their lifeline.

So I grow tired and worn out until I start looking like them.

I know being me may seem easy but the truth is being me is starting to suck.

For j want to run so bad but I can’t for now but the staying isn’t worth it and I see the truth more and more.

 always wanted time to speed up but in the end when were old and gray hair is the style for us because dyeing it would just take too much time now and we just don’t have the patience anymore. 

We still celebrate birthday’s and events but the excitement we use to have about these moments just aren’t there anymore.

Because we feel the pain and aches and even though we are blessed  to still be around we are just too tired  to make a big deal about them.

You’ll

Never know what could have been if you don’t at least try to make a change in your life.

Don’t wait for someone else to open the door for you for they won’t and if they do it’s only to trap you on their side.

Watch your back or the snake will bite you before you know it.

And the light that you love to be surrounded in won’t be what you’re in but it will be the dark burning out what makes you, you.

Let’s not just stand around and let them have their way but, stand up and let’s make our own way.

Our life is ours and I won’t burn out for someone is willing to sacrifice my time just so she feels she is still on top in the end.

To

tell the truth I have no idea what is going on as I have no idea what door or path I will go on.

My mind is wondering as I try to focus on a way out.

Everyone wants me to run and find a better path in life so I don’t regret anything later down the road.

But, the truth is I’m not sure how to go down the path I’m on and have a real plan all laid out in such a short amount of time.

But, I won’t give up not until I’m out and smiling like them with so much less stress in their life.

leader you think you are

but, yet as I look around and see the ones fighting this battle with me.

I know you are not one of them as you stand on the sidelines pretending to be involved.

And when we are receiving praises you are the first one to say thanks as if you helped out in any way.

So look me in the eye and tell me who you think did all the hard work at the end of the day.

For I know my team and you are not a real member and the leader well we don’t need one for we work together to get it done.

We are one and the relieve we feel when seeing each other comes from knowing you are no help and we will always be in it together even when our paths go different ways in the end.

I will thank you for bringing one more good person into my life but I won’t thank you for the struggle I live with when I’m around you.

This battle I’m tired of fighting but, the end to our story and path is not over yet so until then I will not show all my cards yet.

Those

eyes remind me of wet concrete and how I just seem to melt every time I see them and I become stuck in place with looking at you.

I know that to you are so connected to nature as you lay on leaves and allow the dirt and you to become one.

You have no worries about getting dirty as you have found your place of peace for the day.

With nowhere to go for the time you look up and allow the picture to be taken and you seem so content as your purple hair is laid at and when you get up everything falls away leaving you in your true form.

No worries about messing up your nails or worrying about the make up on your face for those things will come and go but your true beauty will shine forever even when it begins to age more.

true risk I’m willing to take right now is just being alone and letting myself let down all my walls and just relax and not stress about the outside things that pour so much into my life. 

I know by doing this I’m leaving myself so vulnerable that any type of shark could come and get me and my defense would be down and my luck of surviving the attack would be unlikely. 

But, I can’t sit around keeping it all inside I have to let some of it go so I can survive any attack that comes my way.

Taking a real risk!

I

am me again.

Today is full of no stress just finding things to do well taking it easy.

Time is going by so slowly and I have no care in the world  right now.

I’m as relax  as it’s going to get for me for this day that feels like a fairytale isn’t going to last forever.

But, I won’t think about the storm that will greet me on Monday.

For today is one of the best days in a long time where the sun is shining down on me and I am truly grateful.

Who

was I to think this day would not come.

To think I wouldn’t get past this point in my life.

It feels like a great wind has blown through my life and has finally thrown out the bad things in my life.

I am feeling so brand new that I wouldn’t even notice those that put me down even if  they walked up to me and said hello.

My eyes and mind see the truth now and the freedom that comes with it feels like experiencing the best moments of your life over and over again with no worries of everything falling apart.

How

Am I going to top what I’ve done before to

what I can do now.

It all feels like a losing battle and no matter how hard I try the fight is always a loss for me.

I can’t always make things work on my own, and I know that I need help but, the people hanging around don’t help they just watch and let me fall.

I’m tired of catching them when they let me fall all the time. I feel like a spider shooting out web to catch them in their time of needle.

But, when one needs more assistance it’s like everyone has run to the door as a fire has just broke out.

Walking around talking and having fun but not realizing that this life they have demands certain things but, they ignore those things for working hard was not something they ever took seriously.
