Happiness

 feels like something of the past sometimes when all that rises from you lately is frustration.

 unanswered questions running through your life as your story comes to a stop.

You still wonder what to do and why didn’t you move before it was too late.

Because you overthink it all because you don’t want to be in the same situation all over again.

But the truth is you don’t have the answers and as you keep praying for them.

You just have to have a little faith because it will all come together on it own I hope.

Shower me

with your love as today has been a long day and I really need to feel happiness around me.

To feel the joy of being around each other build up inside of me until there is nothing but excitement inside of me just waiting to come out.

To feel something more than loneliness  for two days where everything is silent at night and the urge to do what needs to get done is more clear now as it has ever been.

It’s time to be covered and surrounded by love for the changes that are happening are not going to throw my life into a bigger mess than it already is.

Days and nights seem to go by so quickly and urge to get up bright and early isn’t something I look forward too on the weekdays and even less on the weekends.

Two days just don’t seem like enough time for me to figure it out before there is a knock on my door and it is time to get out and about as Saturday turns into Sunday which ends us with Sunday and that’s when the stress comes back on but the sleep takes over and the thoughts of everything fade away for a night and some of the morning.

Trying to

 Find that spark that made me feel so alive that words would just flow from me and all things big and small won’t that bad.

But doubt settles in for the winter and all seem lost again.

But I won’t lose faith as I see the bigger picture after this season that is not that great.

For I hope the next season will be so much better and the warmth will fill me up inside that the coldness outside will barely bother me these days.

burnt away

are the days when I felt so strong and able to go on no matter what.

Now the struggle to do what I need to do at the speed that will help me get it done comes and goes.

I feel like I have the ability to do more but the drive to do it isn’t as strong willed as it used to be and the desire to prove myself is just not there.

For I know I can do it but the fact that you try to man hand me get us no where and yet you still think your way will get us far.

But your way is like a burnt leaf nothing good comes from dry leaves unless you need them for a fire in the woods.

I know it will all come down in the end but will you see it coming because you never seem focus or aware of your surroundings.

Let’s make

a wish that November will be better than October and that we will enjoy this month

for the year is truly almost over as December is coming up and then the hope things just keep going up for us is all we want.

Time is running out and we realize that no matter how hard we try we need to move quickly because the time to get it done is running out.

We have to have courage now because it’s time to take those risk and it’s time to just let everything fall to the side if it’s not what we have to get done now because this life is intense now and you don’t want to stress about what if’s when you can do it now.

No more complaining, it’s time to face everything with confidents that it will go in your favor because you have worked hard and sacrificed so much already.

So wish so hard that the only thing you will think about for now on will be that wish which will come true because it’s your time to shine now and forever as long as you believe in yourself again and again.

Its time

 to move forward with my head up high and my feet moving with urgency.

In the hope that things will workout for me.

This week has been long and tiring and so stressful that I just wanted to scream.

I’m so tired I don’t want to get back up as my body aches and my mind says today

Is the day to make the right decision.

As time goes by I realize why did I stay for so long only to be losing more than my mind at this point.

 In the hopes that things will get better I can only pray it will all work out for me.

 But only time will tell if I make it out before it all crash down around me.

This will

 Be the last time I believe in you

As I go about my day.

I won’t look for signs of giving you a second chance.

I just will let this door be closed for good and move on with myself.

For I’ve been told I deserve so much more and right now it’s time to move forward and believe them who have stayed through my many storms.

Silent I will not be anymore and I know you won’t like that as you want to be in charge.

This is

the moment I’ve been waiting for and yet this year it doesn’t have the same spark as it had last year.

But, here I am trying to make the best out of everything as I know the day will soon be over.

And then it will be Tuesday

and that will be it but let’s not get ahead of ourselves as it is only Sunday and there is still enough time left to make things great.

I guess we will find out tomorrow but for now I will enjoy the night before the stress hits the fan.

I stand

 Here wondering if I’m making the right move.

If I shouldn’t just leave too and worry about the consequences later on.

But, the truth is I want out so badly that I will risk it all to make it out in one piece in the end.

I know that it is time to go and I know if I don’t leave it will be more than my tears that will be left behind.

All I can do is get through today and hope to be around for tomorrow.

For it will be a start and chance to do things better.

Today proved

That anything is possible and now it’s time to celebrate.

You are free and soon the headaches and stress will not be on your side anymore.

You will be able to do so much more because you just have to believe In yourself.

I know great things are happening for you and soon so much more for me too.

I know the struggle is real but as long as I know things are looking up it will be better.

Longer hours but, I can see the reward before the end.

Seven days

mywords2228

Of just moving around

With no real directions.

Just trying to get things done.

But, thankfully the last two I wasn’t alone but with a real team.

There was focus and encouragement and hope insight.

I just know things were looking up but, then the reality of these last two days is it isn’t permanent.

Only a temporary thing and my hope of peace and joy are all just short term things and the anxiety and stress will come back in full force.

Do you see

Me as the rain begins to pour down more and more.

I stood out here waiting where you said would be a perfect spot.

But, instead it turned out to be the worst spot as I watched you that day with her.

You ignored my text and calls as you laughed and stayed dry from the rain pouring all around.

I felt like I became the rain that day as I melted away.

Out of your mind and out of your life and there is no regret felt from me but I’m sure you may have some but that not my concern anymore.

What a

Weekend from so cold

To still cold now raining all around me.

Not in the mood to go out but things still have to get done.

One more day and back to the reality of what a mess things are when no one cares.

I know I’m blessed because things could be different and for that I am grateful because today the rain is wasting away the stress of last week.

And hopefully bringing in new light to guide me through the storms of my life that are soon to blow in.

Take me

mywords2228

 To that place that makes me feel alive.

Where the smile on my face can’t be swiped off my face even if you try.

To the place where I feel like nothing can hurt me.

Where I finally get some peace and quite.

Where my voice is strong and I am so sure of myself.

The place I so want to call home because when I’m there nothing bad can touch me and I am able to truly enjoy every moment of my day.

My life, and the music is always on and I’m always so chill.

Nothing brings on fear unless I have to leave this place and go back to the reality of a selfish world.

Like a

 Tree I can break too.

And not just on an icy day.

Sometimes it’s sunny days and I slowly dry up with no new growth inside.

And I slowly start to bend until I fall completely apart.

And be no more.

You will clean up the mess I made and maybe on a hot summer day you will miss my shade.

But as the storms come and go you will not worry about me as I will not be leaning towards the house.

But just maybe you will plant something new in my spot and it will begin to grow.

For just because one falls down doesn’t mean another can’t bloom in its place.
