Daily Prompt:Fabric

mywords2228

The sound of ripping fabric was loud in my ear as you ripped your shirt to bandage up my arm from the fall I took earlier.

I said I was sorry for ruining one of your shirts but you said it was nothing for helping me was worth it.

Seeing me in pain was worst than ripping up a shirt that could be easily be replaced but I was irreplaceable in your eyes.

That day may have not started off great with me being so clumsy but, it surely ended on a good night.

As I sat on my pouch watching and listening to nature as we sipped on some hot chocolate as the wind blew all around us.

The moon was so bright and the stars were few but, we both enjoyed the sound of peace and even though we knew the quiet wouldn’t last long we enjoyed the time we had with it.

I want

mywords2228

to feel sorry for you but well I just can’t anymore.

It’s like a switch inside of me has turned off and I see you for who you are and I know we all are just human but, enough is enough.

You may not see it coming but, I do and in the end the only one smiling and feeling like they are finally free will be me.

This is what I want and no amount of money can help me stay and as I walk away will I worry about your fate?

No I won’t because you didn’t worry about mine when I was around and in the end as I fall you didn’t even try to reach out and help me back up.

So your fate is yours to deal with and as you go crazy and try to reach out and find a way out of this place there will be no escape for without me you fate is what it is royally screwed.

No peace will come to you and no one will help you clean up the mess and the word reliable will not be apart of your vocabulary anymore.

But, don’t worry you know no one will understand your struggle like I did.

I won’t be easy to replace but, you accepted that fate when you used me up and threw me down like I had nothing to say.

Now the words are flowing and you have no one to blame but yourself now and you probably won’t even take the blame in the end anyways will you.

Not

mywords2228

trying to be rude but, I just need to tell you the truth right now for I just can’t hold my tongue anymore. 

This is not working out for me and as I smile in your face well I truly die more inside than anything I’ve ever faced in my life. 

You are the bad to my good and I no longer want to be apart of your wrong. 

I feel so strong but, to be truthful I am a mess as I walk through these doors and I come undone because you are my worst nightmare. 

There is not one nice thing I can say about you right now and so I will let you have it all because well that’s just how I am now. 

I don’t have a care in the world that well I’m hurting your feelings but, the pain you have put me through just overrides the kindness in my heart and I just can’t stand to be weak anymore. 

I will be strong and I will stand strong and I won’t back down even if the outcome is not good. 

For I’ve not felt this so alive in over a year now and well I’m done and I just don’t know how to say my goodbye even though I happy that it will end soon. 

The tears that I’ve been holding back well they are flowing down my face faster than I can handle but I know this end is something that had to happen. 

I hope you accept my goodbye and as we both move on, I hope nothing but the best for you. 

But, I won’t be your fool anymore.

Daily Prompt: Imagination

mywords2228

My imagination drives me to a place that is more at peace than the reality life I live in each day.

I just wish for one moment that time would stop and I can enjoy things around me and when I’ve had my fill then time can speed up again.

I just want to imagine all the things that make this world beautiful be surrounding me in this moment that changes everything for me.

Maybe one day it will come true but, for now reality is where I am and some times I close my eyes and I see the world for what it truly is and my heart and mind are at peace again.

Let go

Let go and find yourself as you feel the warm water on your feet and then your legs and as you dive into the water and you feel at peace again.

Let the stress of your day or week fade away and center yourself again so that when the stress gets the best of you again you can and will handle it.

Don’t let anyone bring you down when you know you are meant to be something great and better than what everyone else thinks of you, for you know who your suppose to be in the end.

Let Go!

 

Poetry

I’ve said

mywords2228

my peace and now it’s time for you to let me go. 

The memories float away from me as the years pass. 

And, yes from time to time something flashes through my mind but I don’t miss you anymore. 

So I walk away from the things that remind me of the things no longer in my life. 

Sometimes when it’s been one of those days I catch myself thinking about how I miss you. 

But, I know the reason your no longer apart of my life and I’ve accepted that truth a longtime ago. 

The things that I thought were important and would last forever was quickly smashed that night. 

So many pieces that I had to clean up and forget about for today is the present. 

Holding on to too much would drive one crazy and the hole that is barely there would be too big to bear alone. 

I cared about you and I loved you but, the peace in the long run is the fresh air I breath now.

Lord I

mywords2228

hope that one day I can make you truly proud of who I am and who I have yet to become, as you guide me on this path.

I want to say thank you and that I am grateful for things that I have been blessed with and thank you for the things I didn’t think I needed in my life.

The hope that shines inside of me is so bright and even when evil blows my way the light inside of me blocks out the things that I don’t need to hear.

I hope I will always know what’s right and what’s wrong and the spirit inside me will guide me away from the things that I don’t need to touch and let into my life.

The hope that my kindness will get to someone and maybe they will think twice before they react a certain way to someone who means no harm to them.

The hope that not only will I become better but others that trust and love you will continue to do better as well.

How much

mywords2228

more can one take before one’s mind just gives up and demands some rest

So much going on that you don’t know what to think next or what to do next.

Your running out of time and you just want to get it all done in time before the holidays come to an end and you missed having any fun.

You have so much shopping and decorating to do you just don’t know what you will end up doing first.

You skip thanksgiving decoration and go straight to Christmas  your favorite time of year where for a moment you get lost in holiday movies and tradition and you smile more than you usually do.

Your happy and for once all you stress just melts away and life just seems so much easier for you and you begin to learn how it feels to be relaxed and at ease in the life you live even if you know it won’t last.

You suck up as much as you can for soon you will be going back to life that is crazy and out of your control but you hope for the best to come your way and send you on a better path.

I was lost in the dark and the light guided me home 

to a place that was safe and a place to grow, I became the person I thought I wasn’t capable of being. 

I was feeling alive again and nothing negative could stick to me and for first time in a long time I felt truly free of the darkness inside of me.

I close

mywords2228

my eyes and for a moment I feel the peace that I’ve been looking for.

The peace that finally puts me at ease.

No more feeling so lost and hopeless in these moments that define my life and who I am.

Days seem so long only to come to an end so much sooner than I am ready to let them go, I feel like my drive is running on low and even though I need so much more energy to go on.

I still hold on hoping the right words will come out before my head hits the pillow and I am out for the night.

Even though sometimes it is no longer night-time when I go to bed and then soon the light is shining straight at me and sleep has faded from my mind and the day has begun.

Even though my eyes are still tired and my body just doesn’t want to get up, I somehow get back up and start my day in the hope that I will find my way again in this thing called life.

Today is just the best day ever!

Daily Prompt: Elevate

mywords2228

My heart rate was elevated as I pushed myself to run faster before my workout was over.

It felt good to get up and get in a workout before the stress of work got in the way.

I felt at peace as the day started but I knew soon my patience will be tested.

I try to stay in a right set of mind or this will all not workout in the end.

I take a deep breath and let the music calm me before I face the world that might just drive me insane.

The beach

Summers coming to an end and the beach has been calling my name

I’ve been so busy.

That I just keep ignoring its call like an unwanted caller.

But, this week just was too much and at the last-minute I threw everything I needed

for a fun day at the beach into my car.

And was on my way to the beach and I noticed I wasn’t the only one who needed a moment or longer.

To forget about the ugly and relax in such a beautiful place.

Anything

mywords2228

but the truth rolled out your mouth that day

and I could tell that you thought you were in the clear.

You tried so hard to keep a straight face but I saw right through it and the truth is I feel so

sad for you for you thought a lie would save you.

But, all you had to say was the truth and just maybe you could have walked away that day with no tears in your eyes.

But, you choice the lie and so the lie was what you ended living with and not me and I don’t regret a moment or second.

For what I said was every bit the truth and it really did set me free that day.

I felt alive and in control of my words and emotions and soon I will be able to smile again even when a  thought of you floats through my mind until your gone for good.

I’m

mywords2228

fighting for myself as I am all I got

you hide in the shadows waiting for me

to come into the darkness.

But, I rather live out in the light even if I am all alone.

This path I am on is a narrow one and I feel at peace as I continue on my journey.

With my destination no where in sight, I continue on with no fear in my heart for I’ve waited a long time.

To feel this strong, to love this hard

To believe and to trust with all my heart.

That today God has my back and as my strength grows stronger.

I step into the darkness only for the light to win.

I’m fighting for myself but,maybe soon you will join me and fight for yourself too.
