I am

mywords2228

hopeful to what this year has to offer.

I am ready for the challenges and days when things are easy.

I know that there will be struggles and I accept the things that I can and can’t change because I am alive and I am grateful for the things I can do.

I am ready for today and the next day and I’m ready to explore so much more and not do the same things I did last year.

I am ready to step onto a new path and walk down it with a smile on my face with so much hope that nothing can bring me down on this walk of faith and hopeful beginnings.

I AM HOPEFUL

Poetry

I wish

mywords2228

that more days could be filled with Joy and happiness.

That people could help one another more than the little time they can afford to give up. 

That we wouldn’t forget the things that come before and after. 

That we would cherish the things and time we have together for so much is happening.

I wish that somethings would become less important the most important thing would be family and all the things that are  too much would leave those that can’t handle it alone.

    Traveling

    is all I wanted to do this year as I knew I had to get to you and see you for the holidays.

    Nothing can stop me from getting to you this year not even these leaves I’m about to drive through with my new red car as I make my way on the back roads this year. 

    I know that I must take my time but, don’t worry I will make it in time for Thanksgiving dinner and to hug you later when our stomachs are full and her hearts are just as full too. 

    Today means so much to me and I just didn’t know how much until I walked through that door and saw you sitting there with the biggest smile I ever saw on your face. 

    Seeing you and hugging you was the greatest moment of my day and then came the food but, it’s you I will remember when I look back on the memories we made today.

    I don’t

    mywords2228

    know how I feel lately

    for one moment I’m happy.

    And I understand the ups and downs

    but, now I don’t want to understand for

    it all feels like lies and nothing makes sense.

    This overwhelming feeling that everything is going to come crashing down around me.

    Is so strong that I think I will know before

    it happens and in the end I will be able to

    walk away from this situation.

    The bruises will fade but the truth

    of that day will still stung years from now.

    Daily Prompt: Tend

    mywords2228

    Words tend to enlighten me

    inspire me

    hurt me

    make me happy

    make things so difficult that you just dont want to enjoy them anymore.

    Words you twist and turn me inside out and yet I keep coming back to you with no regret.

    Just hope that you will bring me more joy and delight.

    Oh words what will I do with you in the end, I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens next.

    Fire

    mywords2228

    It first starts in my throat and I feel like my breath was just taken from me and then it begins to grow into my stomach until I curled up in so much pain.
    That it just doesn’t seem possible for one person to be able to handle all of t his at once without passing out.
    I reach out for a bottle of water to quench my thirst to put out the fire in my throat for I’ve seen better days.
    I try so hard to feel better so that I can get back to feeling secure in the body that carries me through it all.
    I fight for my sanity as my head begins to spin but yet I can’t give up for they are counting on me even though I’m barely holding on myself.
    Some how I get through it all just to crash and burn the next day and then back to being okay the next.
    There is a war going on inside of my body and I don’t think that I’m winning right now but the battle is not over yet.
    I’m not fully myself yet but I’m fighting with all I got to get back to the me  that was strong and dependable no matter what was thrown my way.

    When I find

    mywords2228

    my way hopefully things will not be the same for I need to smell the fresh air and let my hair down.

    I need to not worry so much about the unknown and to just feel free

    I want to smile more than I seem to be frowning lately because there is so much

    that seems to driving me insane and no amount of rest helps.

    When I find the answers to the questions I need to know, will I understand and will I be ready for them.

    I guess only time will tell but, lately it seems like I’m searching for it all and no matter how hard I try nothing seems to be that clear.

    I wonder if I should just give up and just let it all come to me when the time is right  or maybe I don’t have the patience to wait that long.

    Or maybe I can just trust it will all work out and just maybe it will.

    Daily Prompt: Harmony

    mywords2228

    We seems to create our own harmony

    like two beats that go together in perfect harmony.

    I can’t stop wanting to be with you and it’s

    like listening to my favorite song.

    The Beat and the singer are in perfect harmony that when

    you hear the beat you get lose in it and the words just pull you in deeper.

    With you it’s like were making everything and everyone around us feel so

    peaceful and whole.

    The sound of our voices together create the harmony that everyone wants to accomplish in their life.

    One day at a time our harmony brings others together or at least find themselves and start not only believing in themselves but others as well.

    Daily Prompt: Hopeful

    mywords2228

    I want to be hopeful that as today ends that great things will be coming my way this new year.

    And that everything I need will be presented to me and I will live my life the way God wants me to.

    That  I will continue to see the greatest inside of me and to trust my gut when things seem off.

    That I will continue to make the right decisions and not let worldly things distract me from my true purpose in life.

    I’m so hopeful that everything will be ten times more great than they already are.

    Nothing but positivity flowing through me that I could just burst with happiness and light the sky with fireworks.

    Hopeful that all dreams will come true  and more people will be believe that they can do the impossible if they just believe just a tiny bit.

    Being alive is a hopeful moment every morning when you wake up and realize you  have another chance to make things right with your life.

    That yesterday wasn’t the end and your problems won’t as big as you thought they were,

    being hopeful gives me so much joy that I hope that I will be hopeful for the rest of my life.

    If Only

    mywords2228

    I could find a way to the path I’m meant to be on now.

    So I didn’t feel so lost on any given day.

    To have hope that it will all workout and maybe it does.

    But, what is to come up next?

    A question no one can answer for me can’t predict tomorrow.

    But, we can feel when the decisions we are making feel right even the ones that scary us the most.

    Sometimes there is a release of relief that things worked out or at least  the weight of that problem is off my shoulders.

    My path has just begun and maybe one day I’ll make it to the end.

    The path that is so unknown I can’t imagine what it will be like but, I know I won’t be lost anymore.

    Fear Be gone!

    mywords2228

    I won’t wait around waiting for you to freeze me up.

    Limiting me to do the things I might want to try but like a deer in headlights, I can’t move or go on.

    Then you come along and said  take my hand and let’s do it together.

    So as time goes on I can face my fears knowing your always looking down on me, pushing me to do more.

    And to not let my fears get the best of me for life is short and the end sometimes comes out of nowhere.

    So fear be gone, you don’t have control over me anymore!

    My take on the reality of fear

    #MayBook Prompt

    My Paradise

    mywords2228

    Is lost to me

    for I never seem to get the time

    to relax and think about a place to call my Paradise.

    If I had the time I would arrive at my Paradise and the

    first thing I would see would be the beach with it nice sand

    and, blue clear water from the front of the resort I’d be staying on.

    My Paradise  would have free complimentary Alcoholic beverage as you pull up in the

    shuttle that picked you up at the airport.

    The lobby would be grand and open space  with a large all crystal chandelier hanging

    from the ceiling and, the walls would be white & gold with clean white tiles.

    A grey rug would lead you up to the receptionists desk  where you key for your room

    would be waiting for you, once you checked in.

    And your room would be so luxury, that when you open the door the fresh smell with a little hint of mint will greet you as you get settle and sit on your bed for the week or two.

    You will be delighted on how soft the bed is and the sheets feel so soft like what you feel the clouds in the sky would feel like.

    As you quickly fall asleep from the long day of travel, you can’t wait until tomorrow to feel the sad between you toes and water washing over you as you take a nice swim in the ocean.

    And when that joyful moment is over, you can’t wait to explore this island and resort you are on and to be able to forget about your troubles and just for once focus on relaxing and enjoying the time of your life.

    I wonder what will happen!

    mywords2228

    I wonder how I would be if I truly let you be.

    Would it help me not feel this way.

    But some how even though I want to stay away I say something so you pull me back in.

    Will I ever want to pull away.

    Even though I want to stay forever even if it’s nothing more than just an friendship.
