Weak

I feel it in my bones as I stand here being in the one place I rather not be.

Faking a smile and trying to be okay when I feel nothing but okay in this moment.

I want to do nothing but scream and the truth is no matter how much I say my frustration.

Nothing gets better and so I say nothing at all because what I have to say doesn’t seem to matter.

I am just another body even though I do good work and a lot of people see that at the end of the day they can push someone to be like me.

So what makes me any special if I can be replaced in a blank of an eye.

There will be lots of denial and lies but the end results will always be the same and with that is it worth dealing with.

An question I think I already know the answer too but, yet I am still around losing my mind all over again as if I am stuck in a loop and living my last days on earth in hell the place I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

All

I hoped for seems so far way.

Like a story that is only half written and it is up to me to finish it.

But, there is always something that gets in the way and yet it’s always up to me to fix it.

I’m not the fixer up type and I won’t be your plan B or option 1 or 2 when you have no one else.

The answer is not yes and probably will be a no and will I feel sorry no I won’t.

Too tired to care about the things that are not going your way or mine at this moment.

I realize that I probably won’t last as long as you want me too because I’m just tired and I know I’m strong enough to get through it all but why should I.

I don’t care about the money or the time, I just want a piece of mind at the end of the day.

I guess I know that there are higher and better things for me to do than deal with the things that will be left behind when I’m gone from this place.

Falling

down yet again is the snow

bring more cold with it and

then it freezes and the chances of slipping

becomes more likely to happen.

The beauty of the snow falling is overlooked now as winter has stayed too long.

The desire to stop having to layer up is so story you might just want to take a trip just to warm up for more than one day.

Will you fall soon or will the snow and ice melt away before you have to go outside again.
