Another day

mywords2228

Another blessing, another opportunity to do so much more, and I know you saved me so as these blessings flow through me and around me.

I know as long as I’m close to you, everything will work out for me.

So grateful and full of love for you, my lord, as I celebrate the day you brought me into this world.

I know that the unknown will be something to wait for because the wait is worth it as long as you are by my side.

Today is just another example things will continue to get better no matter what the hell I have to walk through to get to your light and love.

Fandango’s Story Starter #17 ( whose in my house)

mywords2228

I heard a voice calling out my name from inside the house, and when I opened the door

I saw a mouse, and down the stairs, he went, but yet the voice continued to call my name from the kitchen now.

I didn’t know if closing the door and hiding under the bed or in the closet was still an option.

The voice seemed to be coming near the stairs now, but I heard no creeks from the floor as they got near.

Was the house worth fighting for?

No, I thought as I closed the door and grabbed my bag full of stuff I hadn’t yet put away from my weekend away.

But, just as I was about to jump from my window, my door swung open, and there stood my best friend, who I forgot was still in the house.

Since I decided to come home earlier than planned, and right on her shoulder was my parrot, sandy, who always calls my name but never hears her coming.

Through it

all we have been together for without you, I don’t think I could have made it through my darkest days.

Through it all, I don’t have to doubt if it will work out because I know I can face the things I can handle with you by my side.

Through it all, I have always felt your love and protection, and when things feel so out of my control, you save me and show me I am so much more, and I am worthy of all that you have given me.

Tossed from

mywords2228

Side to Side like a rag doll as you tear into me and won’t let go but off you go.

Hitting something else as you go on until you leave the pieces of your rage behind with no care for anyone else.

You were gone before you could be seen this time, just our luck.

But what happens in the dark will come out in the light, and until that day comes, I will try to forgive but not forget and move on with my life.

I won’t

mywords2228

Go there as you seem to keep crossing the line.

And a part of me wants revenge, but then I realized it’s not relevant to my growth, so why fight back and fuel the fire.

I would instead walk away knowing you wanted me to fight back so you could feel better about yourself.

Because in reality, it’s always been about you and no one else, and I’m a little disappointed your that selfish, but who am I to judge.

And so I try not to, but every time I try to stay out of it, you’re pulling me back in, in hopes to make me more like you.

But I’ve been down that path before, and it always ends up with you alone with more issues than you had in the past.

And to me, that struggle isn’t worth it.

What am I

mywords2228

To do when no one listens to me.

I only speak out because I care and what is going on isn’t right.

There is always going to be someone not playing attention and trying to set you up in life.

But always taking the high road will get you somewhere in life and maybe it’s time to get away.

It’s time to clean out the old memories and allow room for new ones.

As I want to be heard and I want to see results and not be pushed back into the corner where no one will look for me unless something big happens and they then know who to seek.

Your music

It always moves me whether you are on your guitar chilling on the couch.

Or you are sitting at your keyboard trying to come up with the right melody for a song.

You always bring this positive and inviting energy.

That makes it hard to stay away.

Your smile is so bright and your voice so smooth I’m transformed into a calming space, and before you know it, I’m drifting off to the calm waves of your song.

I hadn’t

meant to fade away from your life

but I found myself and as I focused more on myself

I was so happy with the growth and the energy.

There is less doubt and uncertain in me now.

As I keep walking on this path that I hope will continue to nurture my soul.

And maybe one day if you ‘re lucky you will see me full and present in your life or at least see what I have become from a far.

Our spot

Week 290 of Three Line Tales

I came back to our spot hoping to feel your presence well, staring at the stars, as this was the place you loved the most.

This was the place that let you recharge and become centered with yourself again and again, as sometimes reality took a lot out of you.

This place is the last thing we did together before you took your last breath, and you told me if I ever needed you to come back, and you would be there for me in the best way you could be..

Time

mywords2228

Sometimes time isn’t on my side and it’s frustrating at that moment when I need more time or I feel like the time I had I wasted.

No doing what I needed to do because of distraction and letting little things get in my way.

Maybe I’m far too busy, but am I getting what needs to get done, or am I letting this world lead me down a path that will not satisfy me in the end.

Will it be too late for me or will I wake up in time to save myself and be the best version of myself?

To get

mywords2228
Picture by: Adi Kavazovic

Away and float around this lake taking in the clear water and fresh air.

finally, feel free enough to breathe it all in and appreciate everything around me without fear of getting too close.

To live without fear and allow the calmness of the lake to wash over me and wrap me up safely to see another day.

Playing with

mywords2228

Week 287 of Three Line Tales

Others minds is a game you play daily and the hope you will break them eventually.

It’s a thrill you live for and the itch to manipulate kicks in and with a wicked grin you set off to succeed at your next task.

You sit and you watch and right when they click on the image you wait to see what they will see and if they will catch all three of you.

Maybe I’m

mywords2228

out of my mind as all the things come through so quickly now.

I don’t want to tell you everything because I know you won’t look at me like I’m sane anymore.

And maybe that’s okay for you don’t come around much these days and I’m okay with that.

I know that no matter the distance; the connection between us is there in a way that could only be our story of a friendship that grows and now has settled into what it will be for an unknown amount of time.

Week 285 of Three Line Tales

just me, but I just need some time away in a place where it’s just me and nights are long and the days go by slowly and I can finally feel like I’ve stopped time.

And every moment that I have means something and I accomplish all that I need and want too, with no regrets as the day comes and goes.

There will be no hurry back to the reality of a life I barely fit in anymore.

Celebrating

mywords2228
sphoto by Christina Hernández via Unsplash

Another day on this earth with you but waking me up too early wasn’t apart of my plan as I hoped to sleep in on this day.

A day sometimes we make too much about because of the things that are expected or wanted on that day and so we forget about the things that matter the most.

And just relax the chill for this day even if I have to wear this hat all day and complain just a little bit.
