mywords2228

Corner I turn I seem to be faced with the same crap before and after all this time nothing has changed.

It’s like looking in the mirror and expecting yourself to smile back even though you are not in the mood to smile.

You try your best to get through it all but you just can’t seem to keep down the anger anymore.

And you know that it’s not fair for you to be doing it all.

And the ones doing little to nothing always feeling like they are carrying the load that you been pulling along for far too long.

Will your day come, you hope it does soon too because you can’t take it anymore and the clock clicks on for you today.

I

mywords2228

want to say my patience is not at its limit.

But, I know that each day that I stay the more I’m losing more of me.

I’m done complaining and I’m ready to change and walk away from the frustration.

I’m ready to enjoy the good weather no matter how hard the wind blows.

I will keep walking and maybe when it blows too hard I’ll just let it carry me to better destination.

And when I arrive I will welcome everyone and everything because I will be grateful for this new chance at the peace I’ve been looking for.

I will live and try to judge less and I will help and smile and I will choose to let out my light for I know to let the darkness.

from inside of me does more harm than good even if it feels good at the time because regret will come back and bite me.

In

mywords2228

My head I’ve imagined this moment so many times.

But, I know when it all comes to reality it will be the best feeling in the world.

Because that day will be the day I truly start living the life I’ve always dreamed of but never thought could come true.

I will smile and it will reach my eyes and I will cry nothing but happy tears.

I realize why did I wait for so long for this to happen.

I know that tomorrow was not granted for me but, lucky enough I made it to the next day and week and month.

And now it’s time to live as if tomorrow is the last moment I experience and I want it to be a great one.

No

mywords2228

I  don’t like that  they all start to step one foot out the door

leaving me behind with both feet still in place still thinking I still have time before my   hope really fails me.

I won’t be still here when things get bad for I have to do something for me and I can’t stand here just letting what I really want to pass me by. 

I’m realizing now there isn’t a right time and waiting for it to happen is not what I should be doing right now.

I need to stop and not get distracted and do what I really want to do because, I know if I don’t make a move now things are going to fall down around me and I will only have myself to blame.

won’t keep hiding from you if you would just open up.

Just let me come in as it heats up outside and the spring weather blows through.

let’s be like a nice day outside sharing the breeze and the sun shine as we begin to connect again.

And feel at peace as a beautiful melody plays as we realize being stubborn won’t help this situation.

We must compromise to solve and fix the things we are both fighting and show all our cards this time.

A

mywords2228

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.

letting it all out for what’s the point in keeping it all inside.

My story and maybe your story needs to be told but, only if you want too.

Sharing can be delightful and well sometimes scary

but, what’s the point in living if you don’t face the fear and jump in anyways.

When you think back to why something was important too you in the first place all the other things or other people opinions doesn’t matter anymore.

It’s just you writing and loving the way you pour it all out on paper or on a computer.

It all gets delivered the way you want it too, and the feeling of accomplishment is worth the time of  be confused  and unanswered questions.

Because, your fire is back and even if it doesn’t last long this time it will all work out in the end for you will recharge over and over again until the story is told and out there for everyone to love and grow from.

a moment in the past when splashing in a puddle was funny and the mess was not something you worried about.

Now you are responsible for another little human and taking the time to have this fun in the puddle is a moment you want to live again.

When life was so carefree and you weren’t looking at the time and nothing else in the world matter for you were having fun.

So today we went back and made a new memory and this moment we will laugh about and smile at each other time and time again for the world went on but we took the time to slow down and have a giggle or two.

toast to the journey ahead of us and to the path were leaving behind

because without that path we wouldn’t be heading in the directions we are today.

Feeling of finally knowing where were supposed to be going and how great it feels too.

To know that this path is long but the destination will be so sweet and worth all the traveling and the time together.

This journey will shape us into who we know we have been holding back in the path.

It’s time to shine and no matter what dark places we may go to we will shine in them and we will walk away from them too with smiles and hope in our eyes and our hearts because our faith and love will carry us through it all.

No doubts and no regrets will be felt this time!

She

mywords2228

was bringing completely unreasonable that day when she didn’t get her way for one you didn’t listen to what you had to say.

Two she choose to try to use you everyday because she felt she could and she would be able to for a lot longer than she did.

She had absolute no problem calling someone else out when only five minutes ago she was doing the same thing.

What to with someone who feels they do no wrong but feel the heat every time they pray or try to bring someone down the wrong path.

On

mywords2228

your time we are late like the spring weather.

Were moving slower than the breeze blowing through this area making the weather great.

I want to yell for you to wake up so we can get a move on it.

But, I feel like all you are doing is bringing  us all down and stress level is so high I feel like I could just burst any moment now from all the anger rocking inside my body.

Right now my temper is at the edge and I would love to just let it out or for it to go away and the calm of yesterday come over me again.

Remember

mywords2228

when we first met 

two people just trying to get through the day not  trying to make a friend. 

Then we shared a laugh and from then we became so close and connected. 

And there was no doubt in my mind that we would continue to be there for each other and we were.

There wasn’t a moment that I didn’t share with you and so you became more than a friend to me but you became another sister to me and looking out for you came second nature to me. 

So many moments spent together it was like life was good and we were riding on success with only little bumps here and there. 

And now we spend more time apart and the hole you left behind is small but it feels like I’m losing more oxygen everyday that it is left open. 

But, some how I stumble through life with a purpose and even though you are not a main part of my life anymore I am still working hard to do what I need and want to do. 

Maybe one day that hole will close up with either us talking again or me finally just letting go and appreciating the moments and lessons we learned together my sister.

Always in motion with no hope of slowing down, always something to do or something to get stuck on.

You try to focus but everything is moving around you at the speed of light with no hope of slowing down and I know what it’s like to feel like everyone is going somewhere.

Yet, your stuck in this spot with no hope of getting away from this place or people insight and it’s bad enough your faith is tested more than you want it to be. And  yet you don’t give up no matter how hard it is.

What

mywords2228

do I say to you as time goes by and I feel  nothing but resentment towards you.

Is it best for me to just stay away and hope these feelings will go a way over time or is it something that will only get worst if I try to handle it on my own.

I know that I have to make a decision soon because I can’t keep living like this when I know that even if I didn’t come back you wouldn’t have noticed anyway.

So length of time won’t matter if you hear from me or not because you won’t check.

So maybe one day I will reach back out again but for now I just don’t want to resent you and so we have to talk now and be done with the deal.

Time we have together seems so limited as we stand here looking back on all the time we spent doing things we didn’t love to do.

We choose to do the things others expected from us and ended up just feeling so disappointed with no hope insight.

We told ourselves that we knew what needed to be done but, yet at the end we all end up in a place feeling like we lost our mind and pushing ourselves to do more than we can at the end.
