I see

everything before me and I just know that even though lately things have not been going my way. 

I won’t give up for I know things will get better, because right now before me is my tomorrow and my future. 

The hopes that I hope to come true, the dreams I’m fighting to make possible and to finally say I did what I wanted to do. 

And not what everyone expects me to do because I am learning so much more now than before and I won’t stop until I find a way to make things great again.

If I

reached out to you would you respond back.

Or would you just forget about me like last time.

But, this time I know your going through a lot and I want to be there for you

so when I reach out to say some words of hope and comfort, I hope you responds.

Not only because I miss you but, because I care about you even though we don’t talk anymore and you seem out of my reach lately.

I just hope we can be close and there for each other again some day .

Light

the way for me and if you do will I follow

or will I ignore the light and go the other way.

Will I forever be lost because I chose to go my way and ignore the things you clearly say

I need to do.

I want to listen and go towards the light for I know the story will end with better turns and twist.

For it’s always the light I wake up to and the dark I go to sleep in.

how long will this light shine for me, even when I sometimes choose the darkness for I’m to curious to walk away.

Floating

mywords2228

in between a place of hot and cold.

The feel of cold feels so refreshing and cools down my skin

after feel so hot that I could burst into flames any minute now.

The cold surrounds me and no matter how much I wrap up I can still feel it wrapped so tightly around me.

And just when I feel the chill has subsided the heat takes over and even when I cool back down I become cold all over again and the cycle leaves me so weak.

How much longer before things are back to normal.

Sometimes

mywords2228

when things fall out-of-place you realize that it was a good thing because you got to reconnect with someone you didn’t know you missed seeing around.

They brought back such good memories and you are so glad to see them again.

Things can and will turn around for you even when you don’t want to go out and interact with people.

You find yourself smiling and having a good time and hoping that you can get it all done for there is no time to play around in the end.

Sometimes plans are meant to be ruined and turned upside down and then played out in the end to show and shape the best of us.

Three

mywords2228

things left to buy

then things will be done.

And the stress would be over for a little while.

I don’t know if three more days are enough for me to forget the things that stress me out.

The number three sometimes doesn’t have the best of luck and so when things go bad and something else happens you just know the third problem is coming next.

Even though you know the days of relaxing and the days of focusing on things that need to be left in the past.

It’s time to say yes I can and actually do something about it.

The three seconds it takes for you to realize, you need to just slow down and everything will work it’s self out one day at a time.

LOVE

mywords2228

That word fills me up inside when I think about you on this snowy day.

I didn’t expect you to come to me that day for it was bad out but, you said you couldn’t spend one more moment without me in your arms. 

And as you lifted me up  that day and I kissed you on the cheek, I finally knew that you were the one and I whispered in your ear ” I love you”. 

And you breathed a sigh of relief as it’s been a little over a week since you said it to me and now that I’ve said it there is hope for so much more to happen between us as this year comes to an end. 

And so we will reflect on all the things we have done since that day and all we have done before. 

And the truth is we will treasure all those moments for years to come when we look back on how far we have come.

Words

mywords2228

come and go from my brain and each day I wonder will I ever run out of things to say.

Some days it’s nice to just not say any words at all.

Just listening and watching others sing or talk gives me some peace of mind .

It’s like talking all the time just feels up the space where silence is but, sometimes it just nice to be in the silence.

To not feel pressured to say something more just to make sure the other person doesn’t feel ignored.

Yet, It’s nice to hear what others have to say and just sit back and not have to join in the conversion for you have things to do and talking sometimes takes your focus off the task ahead.

So words please come and go for I know when you come it will be good and when you go that gives me time to work things out so when you come back what I say will be so much more intense and interesting to hear and read.

To be

mywords2228

thrown to the side like I don’t matter as the newest thing comes in.

I know I shouldn’t be jealous but, I know that I worth something and shouldn’t be pushed to the side as if my purpose isn’t important too.

I don’t know how much more dust I can collect before I am forgotten and left behind because they feel they know what is to come in the end.

To wait for the next move as if anymore things are pushed around than I two would be disappearing like everyone else you thought wasn’t valued enough or at all anymore.

I don’t

mywords2228

want to say I’m lost again

for I feel like I can do so much more now.

I just got to stop sitting around praying for it to happen

I have to put some action to my words or I will always be stuck here in this place that doesn’t have enough things to entertain me for the rest of my life.

I know that there is so much more for me to explore and as the weather keeps changing I know it’s time for me to make the biggest change and move forward with a smile on my face.

For if I keep complaining things will not get better and I know that does not help me complete the one thing that will make me truly happy at the end of the day.

I don’t want lose my voice or my sanity for I know these quiet moments are the moments when I truly live with my heart and soul truly out for all those that matter to see.

I feels good to know that there is so many more in my corner now than before and that support is going to get me through this storm right now.

So

mywords2228

    Thankful today 

    that I can’t think of anything else I could want more right now.

    Then spending time with you and feeling so lucky to be related to you and to spend this time with you just knowing that tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

    As the

    mywords2228

    sky turns dark and the rain continues to pour 

    I wonder what will become of this place as I sit inside with the lights on.

    Hoping the rain will end soon because I just need some air and I want to be outside not stuck in a room looking outside a window at everything that is wet. 

    Puddles everywhere and not a dry spot in sight, I hope everyone is inside and not out and about.

    My head is frozen from the cold air blowing around and all I want is to be near the heat in hope my head wouldn’t hurt so much or at all. 

    To think this day could have been different completely but, instead everything happens at it’s own pace.

    Take me

    Three Line Tales, Week 145

    photo by Jack Anstey via Unsplash

    on a ride that will go far, far way so that I don’t have to worry about how soon it will be until I arrive or get back. 

    I want to see the mountains and the hills and all that nature has to offer me for this ride may not

    be something I can enjoy another time around. 

    I want to feel relaxed all the time and not have a care in the world at the end of this trip.

    I am

    mywords2228

    cold as I walk through the darkness and my thoughts are all full of what I wish I could do right now.

    I walk and I stumble through things as you demand so much from me.

    I wonder when I became your slave and when my voice no longer belongs to me.

    Am I my person or do you own me now? And if you do, then why am I doing better than you?

    Am I to look at you for direction for I feel if I do, to be lost, we will both be forever?

    I am so tired from the list of things I am required to do so that you can sit on your throne and do nothing but look like you are in charge.

    I want to say so much but I just don’t care anymore and at this point you can be in charge for it just so much easier to be without a voice and let you lead for I know we will both be in the darkness soon or in the fire for you can’t save me or yourself at this point.

    This

    mywords2228

    wasn’t the way things were supposed to go.

    Oh how I’ve heard that so many times lately but, yet here I am still here stuck in a place

    that does not appreciate all that I do for it.

    I try to be the bigger person and do all that I can do but there comes a time when you wonder what is wrong with mankind.

    Every day and moment something happens that is out of our hands and yet there is no compassion for others because if you are the customer you have the right to treat me like a robot with no emotions.

    Am I not human like you?

    Don’t I have to pay bills like you too?

    Yet I am here to listen to you when you have had a bad day and wishing that you feel better and I do that because I care not because I have too.

    But, this is the way my life is and right now being the best isn’t something I ever desired and oh how I wish I could be invisible right now.
