That night

We all got together to enjoy a great show after a long day at work.

We knew the time to relax and just move to beat and sing along was among us as we just enjoy this time together.

For we knew we would not get another chance to just forget about what life has thrown at us lately.

For things have been rough but we never stop hoping for things to get better if only we just had a little bit more faith this time around.

Who

mywords2228

am I anymore

Am I your friend

Or am I someone you used to know.

Am I still the one who is trying to get through this even though I am not completely myself right now.

So numb to the things that make me who I am but, right now having to fake I am okay so that no one knows anything has changed.

But, I know that who  I am is a question even I can’t answer anymore.

Am I a writer and a reader?

Or am I just a reader who likes to write some but then my focus fades away so being a writer can’t get any better than what I have offered so far.

Who am I?

Am I the women that does not know how to find herself again and maybe I needed this moment before it got to late.

My world

is like a volcano exploding every time I turn around.

Some messes are bigger than the others and take so much longer to clean up.

That I sometimes just want to leave the mess and walk away and not care about it.

I know that I’m working so hard but at the end of the day my work is not enough and I’m not working this hard just for myself right now.

So much going on its like is this really reality or is a nightmare I just can’t seem to wake up from.

I’m Stumbling over the bricks in my life that just never fit into who I am to become but I’ve focused in place for the sake of me thinking things will get better.

Am I the problem to my world falling apart or is this more than just the things I can see that are tearing me down.

If

Only I knew this would be my present surely I would have turned away.

I would have run for the door and never looked back.

Thinking about this moment as it slowly begins to become more than it was meant to be.

I guess it took being used, pushed to the edge of breaking for me to realize this isn’t for me.

Trapped in a nightmare that has become my reality isn’t something I wish on my worst enemy.

The wall I have to put up just to be able to catch  my breath and to see the light at end of this tunnel called my life.

I thought

I knew the right words to say.

But as I stand here today looking out on everything I’ve worked so hard for the real question is it worth it now.

As someone else comes in and just trash the place it feels like there is no hope.

And it’s time to just let it fall apart all around me like an abandoned building just one little touch abs every falls down.

No evidence left to identify what this place used to be like.

At this point its a distance memory of what it used to be and it will not ever be as great again.

To the past and getting away from the present to get to a better future for the walls are crumbling around me now and its time to let go before I crumb too.

I have

my moments when everything becomes so relatable

that the simple things can bring up emotions.

And I’m not afraid to show them and process them as they come and go.

And sometimes the emotions come so quickly they can’t be experienced in the privacy of my own space.

But, that’s life for you and sometimes we have to express ourselves even in our weakness moments that don’t feel like something we want to experience or explore in that moment.

It’s time to let it all out and hope that the strength that I am looking for will come again so that I can fight through this process but, at the same time not take this time for granted for it is something I need to do.

To move on from this side of the road for there is another crossroad I need to meet at and this time I may not go right but,  I know that I won’t be going back either.

You

lift me up when no one is around and I know

the pull you have over me is more powerful than any I have ever felt before.

This connection is not one that can be set aside no matter who or what may come around.

I know the truth is coming to the light and no matter how dark things may get I know that you will always lift me into the light and shine so brightly around me.

My body and my soul are all yours and lord I know you won’t let me fall even when holding me up is just feels like too much.

For I may fight back sometimes for the light seems too bright for me to deal with and the darkness feels like something I want to welcome when I’m too exhausted to carry on and continue to deal with the things I want to avoid all together.

To hesitate

At this moment with you would be my greatest mistake.

I don’t want to wonder what is going on with you.

I just want to know, even if it’s a rejection or anger and sadness.

I want to experience every moment and emotion with you.

For I just can’t get enough of you and the days spent together just aren’t long enough anymore.

You’re like a song that I never get bored with listening to repeatedly.

And no matter how much time goes by, you are truly someone I can’t live without.

Just let

tears come down for I know that letting it out does make things better.

Even if it’s just a temporary solution for you today.

I know that the time to let go and be lost in the moment has come for me.

I know that the tears only express half of how I feel right now but it’s just too much to let it all out at once right now.

So for now you will see me vulnerable but, when I have truly fallen apart you will not be lucky enough to see that moment or place.

I knew

the risk but I took the leap anyways for there wasn’t much to look back on

I know that nothing good will come if I stay on this side of the cliff today or tomorrow.

It’s time to move on and leave behind the baggage I never wanted to hold on too anyways and anymore.

I’m tired of playing it safe and I know now that I need to take this risk even if it is my last because I don’t want to keep living  the same way.

I want to feel my heart beating so fast and to hold my breath just in hopes that I will make it and if I do I will be so grateful.

But, if I don’t make it at least I know that I tried my hardest in the end to make the change that needed to be done  now rather than later.

I’m tired of being too late and for once I want to be on time with my decisions and to make the cut in the end for I want the best results this time around.

I know

that this battle that I’m about to face will not be an easy one.

Every breathe It take will help me get through it.

But, I must keep my mind clear because it’s going to take all of me to get out of this.

I know that the future might be bright but it could all turn for the worst if I don’t  truly believe that it will workout.

I know that just a little doubt can change everything so quickly that I won’t have time to stop it once it all falls apart.

I know what I am capable of doing but, yet I stop myself a million times because I am tired and the fight and  fire in me has burn down that it feels like I’m stuck in one spot.

Until I wake up enough to start  moving in the right directions again and only then will things start to look good again.

I WISH

there was more I could say

right now but the words just won’t come.

And I’m running out of time

and there is so much I need to say.

But, the time to let it all out just never seems right

and as the sadness overcomes me I just don’t know how I will fight my way back to a place that feels good again.

I know that you may have to bring me back but, I don’t know if you will notice what’s going on until it’s too late to save me with your love and light.

I guess I can only hope you will find me in time and save me from the darkness that never seems to truly go away.

Fading

away because the stress is too much. 

And I don’t want to get up to just deal with the same things over and over again. 

It hurts too much to just keep running around dealing with the same old things. 

No growth is coming this way as life is not changing but the bridge that holds it all up is breaking. 

And I can’t feel any relief as the pressure just keep pushing down on me and those around me. 

I know the logical thing that would help what is going on but, the people all around is struggling and the truth is your freaking out but the worst is to come and you just don’t know it. 

I don’t know if I can hold on much more right now when everything around me is crashing down and I feel the suffering more than I should or deserve.

To

be the one who moves like the ocean on a calm day just going smoothly along a plan you have made for yourself.

And you hope life could be this calm but the truth is you are about to become more of a storm as things around you are changing and the path is little rough as you go down hill more quickly than you thought would happen.

But, don’t let the steps back set you to become discourage as the journey was not always suppose to be this easy thing or you wouldn’t  have bother with the change in the first place.

You know that there are things that will be let go but, you know your connect with this new change will worth the pain and the frustration that you had to deal with that you feel no matter how much time goes by it will always be burned into you and me especially when we feel so far apart that there is no coming back.

Just look back through it all and trust and believe the things that happened, happened for a good reason whatever it may be.

Do

You see me for my beauty and not for my brains.

For I am more than my looks these days.

I know that  I am worth more than my looks and my body.

I know that some will think they can just give me an compliment

and I owe them something for notices the looks that God gave me.

I will be polite but I will not entertain unwelcome attention and I have every right to say no and no thank you.

I stand for me and everyone else and I won’t stop being me and feeling comfortable when all you want is to ruin my little moments.
