Releasing

mywords2228

All that is in me

No matter how good or bad it is.

For I’m tired of holding it in.

And that it is all out in the open I can’t seem to hate it for it’s a beautiful sight.

All the different moments and emotions that make up just who I am.

Is floating around me making a beautiful rainbow of life.

A life that seems to be growing more and more with no end in sight just yet.

At this moment I am truly alive and I’m not holding back anymore for life feels so much more precious now.

In the

mywords2228

The wall fall glows not like before.

And there on a rock, she sits after taking a drip in the water so cool.

She only comes at night for the sight is so beautiful she can’t seem to resistance getting in.

Until one night the glow was so bright that she slipped and fell.

But to her surprise, the wall solved her and lifted her back to her rock.

For her time to go was not yet and waterfall enjoyed her company.

And knew one day her spirit would stay with it and together they will continue to protect the forest.

They both loved!

Things

feel light like a feather lately with no real direction as we all float through the moment.

Trying to find a way to make things feel whole again

and not like everything is crashing down around us because we can’t control this.

But, I’ve realize floating around light as a feather makes you see the lighter things in life especially right now when everything is serious.

All around

me feels like everything is burning up and here I stand as if I have no care in the world.

But the truth is my world has been on fire for weeks and probably months now.

And no matter how much I tried to put the flames out it just kept spreading and now it’s unstoppable.

And all I can do is watch because I too am on fire and I know every step I take would just spread it more and more and I just can’t do that to those who have been so good to me.

So as it all burns around me and falls from the mess I now have to call my life, I hope soon he arrives and puts me out for I do more damage then I could have imagined this time around.

Week 218 of Three Line Tale

moment I want to focus on what is in front of me and I realize that staring at the screen on my computer isn’t going to make things move quicker.

I know that the day is coming to an end and even though I have done so much it feels like I have so much more to do before I can be done for the day.

I know that this day was long and right now I am tired and ready to move on from the stress of not know what to expect next.

If only

Time would speed up and I could just get out here.

and just get lost in something for I feel like I need a break.

To early to tell how the day will be but the hope that it will be fine is all I’m looking forward too.

And going back to bed for sleep is calling my name more than work is as I head out the door.

It’s windy

Outside and like my life I would nice for it to just blow some things around.

Until maybe it would be in better shape then it is right now.

The things that are set in stone will be blown around and for once I would welcome a mess in my life.

Something to do for right now it feels like I’m moving around in circles and nothing seems right to me.

I’m running out of steam but I have to keep moving even when I just want to scream enough is enough.

But I know my moment in the wind won’t last and so back to the same old things in the hope of finding the right path for me.

Sometimes

mywords2228

Photo by Tan Kaninthanond on Unsplash

There is smoke before you really see that person for who they are.

You keep trying to peek a glance at them but what you see and hear about them seems so different.

They are so honest and sweet to you but everyone keeps saying it’s an act.

You don’t know what to believe for the smoke has not left your sight since you’ve meet them.

You don’t know if it’s safe to keep risking it all for them when you’re not sure you know who they truly are.

fog it is hard for me to see the outcome of things right now.

But I feel things will look up but it will take time.

And I will just have to find some patience and accept that things will be better and different.

For I want change and sometimes I want it to happen as quick as I wish the fog in my life would fade away but it’s staying until I guess I’m ready to do what needs to be done.

I’m in

a mood and no matter how hard I seem to try to shake it off the darker it gets around me.

And I’m not sure my light will be enough to guide my way out of this mess I got myself into this time. 

I know that if I try things will be better but here I am trying to see the light in this situation and it just so hard this time to get through the journey that feels like its on a loop and when I feel the change about to happen it skips and there I am again facing the same stuff. 

There is no good outcome if I don’t get out of this moment soon and fast because I don’t want to be forgotten because I couldn’t get pass this gate of unwanted thoughts and feelings that trap you.

And once your in the ability to get out really is like living in a world with lights on and then it all shuts down and you have to use the strength and memory to get through it or you will be stuck inside your own mind forever. 

I just hope I get out in time for I’ve heard the click and I know this isn’t it for me this time around and hopefully this will be the last of this torture.

 Of wising it was hot instead of cold outside right now.

Yes I have enjoy the hot drinks and the hot food and just enjoying the sweat pants but it’s time for less layers.

The urge to be inside all the time and now worry about what everyone is saying about staying in.

You know you can be out with a smile on your face and enjoy the air around you.

For you don’t have to be so wrapped up some my not know where all the layers of you end at the end of the day.

Don’t say

mywords2228

 The Golden hush by Greg Sharpe

 A word no matter how much you want too.

For right now isn’t the time for words or action.

It’s time to be quite and mind your business as something that are happening around you are not for your eyes or ears.

You must keep your head down if you want to keep moving forward and accomplishing all those goals you set.

It’s not the time to be looking up and around as if others problems are something you live to fix.

Yes I want you to help out but if know you shouldn’t say a word then don’t say a word.

Just be happy you get to see what is meant for you to see and for the rest you know what to do.

That used to be me the kid with the nice summer job and no real worry in my life.

I just wanted a little extra cash in my pockets for when I got off work and hung out with my friends.

I knew some of my friends thought it was lame but I was grateful to have it and it was a nice change to my summer vacation and maybe I’ll come back next year.

moment I feel like I’m fading away from what used to be my past.

As I look into what could be my future right now I’m enlightened and ready.

The peace is welcoming and I am in place where fading away from a place that never felt was right for me is okay.

I’m looking forward to being one of the good ones that will remembered once I’m gone.

But for now I will fade in and of their minds.

 Cold out as I smile for the picture.

You would think I would know with all the winter gear I’m wearing.

But really I just wanted to show off my new outfit and lipstick.

To be the center of attention that day felt great.

For I’m reality fitting in feels like a challenge and that type of battle I just can’t shake.

I want to be me but not be alone when I know I’m with getting to know.

Maybe today someone will start with me but I will walk around and she see who reacts to me in a good vibe and then let them decide whatever it is now.
