many signs telling you what is coming up ahead and what to watch out for but, instead of looking and reading those signs.
You decide to deface them and treat them as if they are your canvas to make your art on and in hopes that they will take them down and let you do your own thing.
You don’t want to be caution, you just want to go through everything at your own speed with no care for what everyone else has to say at this point forward.

Know when life gets tough and you just don’t think you could get through this moment.
But, when you look up you see that one person who always has your back.
Standing on the side watching you and soon they are there telling you things will get better.
You just have to have faith and you got to keep your head up.
No matter what happens because there will always be someone trying to pull wool over your eye.
Because they think they could out smart you or somehow get their way out the end but if you didn’t do your job good or well enough they would have kicked you out by now.
And not thought twice about it, out of sight you will be forgotten.

Down is my spirit right now as I just get tired of overworking myself.
It all feels like everything I’ve been holding in is about to explored and so.
I’m trying to not look anyone in the eye or I feel something will happen.
My body is shutting down as it prepares for the battle that will come.
I just hope I can get through these things I have to face soon.
For I know if I don’t get it together the worst is to come.
My insides feel like they are on fire and even though I feel the coldness around me, I just can’t shake the heat that is burning me up.

hours of peace before everything falls apart and my day of relaxing is turned upside down.
Four little words I want to say to the one who choose to prolong her time off and to shorten my time of enjoy the time given to me.
There is so many things I can not control but, doing what I made a commitment to is one I honor and try my hardest to come through.
Some choose to play around and then when they really need the help it is not found for the help gave up waiting for them to com around.

down they said for life wasn’t going anywhere faster than it had been in the last week or so.
I knew that there was so much I had to do in this lifetime and I knew that my time was limited.
But, still they wanted me to slow down and work to hard.
For at the end of the day it’s you that suffers not those that overwork you and cares about nothing but the end game that only makes them look good.
I want to slow down and do right but I feel like if I do than I am letting someone down and well lately it’s getting harder to care about what others want when no one is looking out for me but me.

You can fill this empty space I’ve had since I could remember
at first I thought it could be filled by worldly things but nothing kept that space filled.
Until one day I knew not what to do next with the life I had made for myself from the choices I had made on my own.
So I gave my life to the lord and I was saved and everything I did or listened to felt heighten and the empty space inside of me that only he could fill was filled and overflowing.

Know if I’ll truly be able to just open up just let you in.
For, yet again I choose to be alone for I can’t seem to face that this is what I wanted in the first place.
I realize there is so much more but, my head just needs quite as the last couple of days has been rough sand I could really just use the space.
Trying to find something to do other than being in this space that feels a little crowded.

Everyone is coming together to have a relaxing moment with such a great view ahead of them.
All year they had planned this trip so that they could see each other doing such a great time of the season.
The mini like red bushes were just something to see and even if you had seen them so many times it just never got old. It was the one thing worth seeing this time of year and the memories always ended staying with you for years.

of the past
the moments of yesterday
the moments of regret.
The moments of doubt
the moments of fear.
The moments when I want to just stop being the best and just blend in.
Letting go of the pressure it feels to just be me right now
The pressure of trying to help when all I want to do is curl up into a corner and get lost in a book and just not think for a little while.
Letting go of all things I wish I could have done and the things I will do even though I know I shouldn’t.

100 WORD WEDNESDAY WEEK 93
on that instead of learning we are trashing the place where we can take ourselves to a place where we can expand our minds and find ourselves.
To step out of our little bubble of comfort and meet new people and express ourselves more without worrying about much.
Though there is still those that rather ruin the good things because being bad is fun and in a way they are taking back control and listening to no one for they are who you fear now.

From my mistakes
From my problems.
From the things I seem to always have to fix.
But, in all reality, I can’t run away from these things.
For the end result is they will always
having control of me

You have arrived but I have yet the time to enjoy you.
i remember the days when I would play outside and enjoy our time together.
How I would swing on that old tire swing with no care in the world.
Just lost in my thoughts with nowhere to go.
Just enjoying the weather and this moment where I’m free to breathe and truly know this day will be a good one.
Oh Fall don’t go by so quickly now for I would love to enjoy you just a little more.

go of all the stress and disappointments and misunderstandings.
I know that times are hard but how much more can I handle at this point.
I want to let my anger out and just let it handle the situation that is happening right now.
But, I know that nothing right now can solve the problem that was happening right in front of me.
I want to look you in the face and tell you that these little mistakes are starting to build up.
The possibly of everything working out is so not that easy anymore when I am just one person trying to do it all.
I don’t want to snap like a twig on the ground because you are being simple right now.
Only time will set me free from this pain and annoyance that is surrounding me right now.

where colorful fish swim and people on vacation like to explore and see so many beautiful things.
They begin to forget about their troubles and focus on the things that are small and they don’t think much about.
For the ocean will always be there and the can come and visit when they have the time and the things above the world just distract them for just have a moment to take it the wonders and new things that appear in the ocean over night.
so smile and enjoy it.
