Fall is not

about me and how cute I’m dressed but about the changing of the seasons and all the holidays that people are celebrating.

It’s the time to evaluate how you’ve been living since the new year begun and what your going to do before it ends.

This is the time to make that change and to step out of your comfort zone and make a big  decision in your life.

But also to finally think before you jump  because you want to be somewhere that makes you feel good and doesn’t make you feel like your on the edge of finally cracking and ending up like humpty dumpty who even put back together again was not ever the same.

I don’t want to just fall this fall I want to fly away from the troubles and pains of this year and come out on top again because what is the point of setting goals and having dreams if you don’t do anything about it.

So this fall is about nature and about making a difference  before it too late and all you end up with is regrets.

At first

it feels like time has slowed down and you are able to look around and see how much everyone is enjoying themselves.

You feel the music as if it is moving around you and you can feel the beat pulsing through you as you get lost in the song.

You know this is your night and it will be one of your greatest moments as you do what you love and trust  that everything will workout.

And you will look back on this moment and hope the next one will be just as great.

me if I ever got lost to look at the map for it will tell me where I am and possible where I need to go. 

I know that I can figure it out as along as I take a moment to calm down because you know I might freak out if I don’t get there when I told you I would.

Because then you will think I can’t do it on my own anymore and I don’t want that freedom taken away from me, for I know I am getting order and soon I won’t be able to do it but today won’t be the end of my independence.

Day I should feel so alone as I walk down this somewhat dark path.

The leafs blowing all around and yet I feel at home as the fall weather feels right to me.

Like this is my season for great things to happen as long as I believe and take the chance that needs to be taken.

For I know the next season is not granted and this may be my only chance to get things right.

Me as I let go of these things that are holding me back.

It’s time to have fun to walk into the unknown with a smile on my face.

For I know it is a safer place for me then the ones I know of.

Today will be great for I’m ready for the joy that is waiting for me on the other side of this fountain.

She is

 So full of life and the energy she has never seems to dim down.

She knows the cold is coming and she refuses to let that damper her day or night.

She will keep going forward no matter how much someone tries to come for her.

Her smile along can weaken any evil thing around her, for her light outshines them all .

There is not one dark moment that ever truly brought her down for long.

She is the happiness and good energy I want to see in myself when the days become too dark and cold.

away my troubles

I wish it was that easy.

My frustration is growing

so much that its beginning to be out of my control.

I just want to feel at ease and not overloaded at

every corner with no luck of surviving this mess.

Am at my end rope and I’m not worrying about the outcome anymore for if I can just get through one more day that would be just great.

need to get away and relax by the pool again before the weather really starts to get cold again.

I don’t want to face the mess that has been placed in front of me right now but what am I to do when all I want to do is get out of this place.

With no detection that I am about to go and not come back again, I want to be relaxed all the time and not stressing out to the maximum level anymore for there is so much more for me to live for now in the year 2019.

your bright colors come to me but you tease me with you slightly cold breeze that just doesn’t stay around for long.

I just want to feel the coldness just a little bit is better than the heat I feel every afternoon and evening.

Making me want to go right back inside and not deal with the things outside my normal life style.

I just need a little breeze to blow away all the bad and annoying things this summer as dragged into my life.

For it’s time to do some fall cleaning and let go of the things I know I don’t need to hold on to anymore.

believe I am so far away from home but 

yet so close to being home again. 

I walk and I run to get through the fields and be 

in the safety of my home again. 

The one place that always wraps me up in warmth 

the feeling of belonging is what I feel every time that I am near.

It makes it hard to leave but I know no matter where I go home will always be waiting for me to come back again.

In my darkest hour you are there for me.

In the morning when I first wake up to the moment I have to actually get out of bed.

I know that no matter what time of day it is you will get up and walk with me.

Every adventure  I just have to mention and you will have already decided you are going and there will be no if’s about it.

You protect me and everyway and every day and there is not a moment I’m not grateful for your help and your love.

So today and everyday to come I know you will get me through it, no matter how dark it is for when I’m scared you are there to hold my hand and hug me when I need it the most.

joy how easy it was to be so joyful about life

no one to raining  on your parade just  because life isn’t going the way they like.

The joy to just take a adventure and not have to worry about when or where you need to be.

The joy of just seeing the world for what it was through the eyes of a kid before you really see what the world is capable of.

You just think about how much fun this can be and how much you can’t wait to see your friends and how their is not much to stress about for an adult takes care of the rest of the things that make your life complete.

But, one day hopefully not soon that pure and innocent joy will be no more and you will wonder how you can get by on the joy that fills the world of being adult.

You will be focused to see the good in everything and to not let anything take away that joy you have for you and God are in control of your life and it really is time to take back your youthful joy.

The only joy that truly out shines the bad the ugly and cruel people and moments of your life.

movement of my body as I bend to be come one with the water flowing above me

I am lost in this moment as I sense nothing but the peaceful breeze and sense the calmness all around me.

Everything inside of me that has been building up inside me just growing and intensifying.

As decreased and evaporated from my system as the calm and peace flow into me over and over again like the water above me continues over and over until it too is turned off and let to rest until tomorrow.

I know this moment will not last but the memory of this day will stay with me and remind me when things get tough there will be a break in the storm and until then just breath and enjoy the flow.

of all the people around me not doing anything but taking all the credit in the end.

Smiling in my face as if you are something great.

Saying how hard you work to make things great.

Trying to make it all seem okay on your end but in the long run it’s you that is the problem and I am here to find the solution.

But, no matter how much I work to make things great for others.

You will always be the brick in my way and even as I pick you up and throw you away.

When I wake up in the morning there you are again staring me down in the morning as if I am the one who is wrong.

I do more than I should and yet all I get is misery and depends to do more for you who will do nothing compared to what I do for you.

Fair will never be a word I will use with you, and the fact that you turn around and get rude with someone else is really a joke for you have no space to judge and demand more from others when you can’t do the same.

You are supposed to be a leader but the truth is no one is leading anyone in this circus  and soon the lion will get us all.

just throw it all a way like a hat on a sunny day, when your mood is great that you feel like your floating above the clouds .

With no worry about coming back down for it is so peaceful with no care in the world on how things are going to worry because you will be back before you know it.

The quiet noise about you is the best time to focus and do what you are suppose to do for a moment like this doesn’t come around often.
