Overwhelmed

 And overworked

No where to run as everything gets to busy.

And in the storm stands you unmoved and unbothered.

I want to fight you and put you in your place and I know that will not happen.

For I know at the end fighting with you won’t be worth it.

I’m not angry enough to get to your level and I know there is so much more for me now and forever.

But, for you I don’t think you care and you are too comfortable in the situation.

And you think life will always be this great but is it more for show.

Long days

Advertisements

long nights

never moment of rest.

Taking so much and thinking it is okay

because you are clueless has nothing to do with me.

To learn or to allow others to do the work for you in the end

leaves you vulnerable when they are not around.

You depend so much on others that you loss the ability to depend on yourself

for no one has you back in the end when they are just trying to make it out of this

zone of laziness and users.

There is no more sun when your in this zone for too long and if you try to stay too long

you too will question your own sanity and in the end you might not come out the same way your were before it all started.

The gaping

Advertisements

Holes in my life just seem to becoming bigger and bigger until there is no safe place for me to stand.

For one wrong step will send you down a hole and what is inside is an answer I don’t even know.

So much light is around but the path to getting out is not even more than a line.

To cross will not be easy but I know I can’t stay on this side anymore.

Because if I do the only thing full of darkness won’t be just the holes around me.

For I won’t be myself and everything everyone sees in me will not matter or be true anymore.

That feeling

Advertisements

Is growing strongly

Inside of me and yet.

I still don’t know what to do about it but it leaves me feeling somewhat empty.

I don’t know what it will take to fill this

hole up.

But it comes and goes as I realize I have a content life for the most part.

But I know there is so much more for me to do and yet the only in my way right now is myself.

Maybe soon I will step out of my own way and make room for something new.

 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.

Move with

Me as I let go of these things that are holding me back.

It’s time to have fun to walk into the unknown with a smile on my face.

For I know it is a safer place for me then the ones I know of.

Today will be great for I’m ready for the joy that is waiting for me on the other side of this fountain.

She is

 So full of life and the energy she has never seems to dim down.

She knows the cold is coming and she refuses to let that damper her day or night.

She will keep going forward no matter how much someone tries to come for her.

Her smile along can weaken any evil thing around her, for her light outshines them all .

There is not one dark moment that ever truly brought her down for long.

She is the happiness and good energy I want to see in myself when the days become too dark and cold.

To paint

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.

It was

 A rainy day and I had brought my umbrella just Incase it started to really pour down.

But as I got closer to the shops I realized as I looked up they had me covered and the lights made everything so beautiful.

As I started to really enjoy this rainy day that turned out didn’t ruin my plans just made them brighter in a new way.

Now I know where to go on a rainy day a place that makes me feel as if a rainbow has come out after a storm we so needed but didn’t want at the moment.

To rainy days may them guide us out of the storms we may be living in right now.

In this

 Moment I feel great

And alive.

The sun is shining brightly down on me

The day is heading in such a great pace.

The birds are out and singing their song and I am enjoying this moment as everything is so quiet.

The peace I feel inside is so great and amazing that no amount of words can truly capture how I feel.

It feels like everything around me has become clear and the light I desperately sighted is out shining on everything.

So I can see what is truly going on around me today.

 Nothing is left in the dark and I am not alone today and I will continue to smile and enjoy this time I have if only it last for today.

Hoping

Advertisements

This moment wouldn’t end is an understatement.

For I haven’t felt this good in so long since I can remember coming to this place.

Taking a break from the craziness that is spinning all around me as everyone is either being lazy or trying to figure it out.

I know I should be grateful for my pass wasn’t always as good as it is right now.

But my head is spinning and the joy won’t last even if I hope it will.

Because this is my life an up and down moving train getting ready to either crash or slow down and break down for good.

How could

Advertisements

 I say this in the nicest way without truly hurting you.

Oh how I want to say what’s on my mind right now.

It’s so bad that I say nothing because I’m afraid I will just spill out of me like a waterfall.

And once it’s out I don’t care about the outcome because I’ve already wasted so much time caring about things that don’t matter.

I’m a open book but right now I’m closing my doors and packing up to go.

Nothing left to share as I realize there is so much more for me then standing here holding my tongue all day.

It’s time to just be me and let my wings out and fly away into the sun in hopes of seeing another day.

me see that there is more out there for me and not just in this moment or day.

But in my life and as long as I try and put the work out there, there really isn’t anything that can hold me back.

Seeing you shine made me realize there really isn’t a better time then now to jump and hope my wings will carry through it all.

My voice is powerful if I would just use it because at the end of the day I want to be able to handle everything that comes my way.

I appreciate that you appreciate all that I do but now it’s time for me to do more for me than you.

Living in

 The moment and forgetting about all the things that are holding me back.

It’s now or never to hope to move forward in this life given to me.

I can’t keep holding on to what if’s and how come that can’t happen for me.

For at the end of the day this journey will end with me standing up knowing I did all I could do with the help of my lord.

Not waiting around hoping an greater opportunity will just fall in my lap and that will be the turn of a lifetime.

It’s up to me to put things in motion and do the right thing for when it’s too late who will save me other than my lord.

People come and go from my life as fast as I can blink or read a new book.

I know things can change and well we can be ghosted but it’s what you do next with your life that truly shows how strong you can be.

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.
