The time

has finally come where I step out of the anger and stop letting the red rule my life.

And step into the green and allow for the go of positive and to approve things I know will make my life easier and better.

It’s time to put my caution yellow sign to the wind and go on with accepting and trying new things.

I don’t want to be in the Dark black shadows of my life, always wishing to be out in the light experiencing the greatest and what it may offer me.

I’ve been through so many colors that I’ve allowed myself to get confused and too comfortable that I stopped trying to do what I love with all my might.

I was a fool to believe that I wasn’t good enough when I knew I was, and my skills were different, and I will use them to my advantage from now on.

My color of the day is Green for I’m going for it all and nothing is going to turn red and get in my way.

The day of holding back is over as soon this year will be, and with it will be the old me as the new me will emerge from the darkness and come into the light and stay there.

the weather I am always changing 

for the better. 

I stand here looking at you as the person I want to be 

and now it is time for me to stop hiding and be that person. 

I want to be free and calm like the fall as all the old layers of me fall 

off like the leaves from the trees. 

I want to shine the many lights of who I am and finally let you see the 

pieces of me before the cold truly comes and that light is bundle up and covered again from the people in my life.

My friend

here we are again with another day of fetch the ball and even though we have been doing this for a while you still get so excited as if it’s a new ball or a new game.

I throw and you run and hopefully if we play the game right then you will return to me with the ball and we will keep going back and forth until one of us is tired.

But, if you don’t bring the ball back then the game ends before it even really started and it may be just find with you but soon or later this game won’t be possible and then we both will be sad.

Today

I will stop trying to make this work 

It’s been a long battle and I’m sad to say 

I’m done fighting it. 

I know things will change from now on

but now I feel like I need to be in the background as this storm hits. 

I don’t need to stand in front anymore for I am no longer the leader. 

I will finally get to relax and just let it all fall to the ground and let the wind carry it 

all to a new direction and place. 

It’s time to say goodbye to the past and let the present lead the way.

Three Line Tales, Week 141

In the dark you will see the mess that I am, the mess that I hide because everyone is expecting so much from me.

The mess that doesn’t seem to go away no matter how hard I work to clean it up and make things right. 

I know that this mess is not just my own doing and it will take time to clean up but, once it’s done I hope it can continue this way for a long time coming.

In this

Moment I had this feeling of overcoming everything that was holding me back.

No more feeling of how much more can I take before o break.

The truth is they broke me a long time go and now nothing feels the same.

Until, today when all that hard work that played off and all the stress that came with it was lifted off my shoulder.

My breathing was calmer and my body was no longer tense.

My life was in my hands again and this time I knew I was going to become strong again.

Oh light

Shine down on me today

as my day begins For I need you now.

To light my way and to pull me from the darkness that calls me sometimes.

I want to stand still and wait out the storm that is coming my way. 

There is barely a sense of peace as I wander through navigation  of my life. 

Since finding this place it one day well wandering through nature this tree gave me shade from the sun on such a hot day. 

All of a sudden bright light shine down on me and I just knew the hard days were behind me and there was going to be lots of good days ahead of me for I had faith that it will all work out in the end.

I

stand here to tell the truth

to not back down when they come at me crazy.

I’ve seen it all and heard it all at this point  so I’ll stand here with no emotions on my face and let you get it all out.

For it’s not personal on my end and every move you make I’ll be right there matching your steps.

Today isn’t the day that you over take me for I’ve had too much pushing me down lately.

And right now I refuse to let anything or anyone bring me down even farther.

I’m at the point that if you step too close I might bite back.

I’m a warrior now and I’m ready to fight back for my rights!

Sometimes

I want to forget about all that is going on around me. 

I’m tired of fixing other people problems but not having time to live my life. 

I’m drowning in work and being praised for working overtime like my ability to function isn’t important anymore. 

Also long as they can count on me and use me up until there is nothing left of me to spare.

To forget just for one day that this isn’t where I’m suppose to be and just let me be in a space that feels like heaven and not hell. 

Nothing but peaceful feelings all around for not just me to enjoy but those around me too.

never know the things that I’ve been going through

since I’ve always been put together with nothing out-of-place.

I’ve always been so strong and put together because who else was

going to carry me through this storm I’ve been living in.

Every morning drinking my apple cider has always put me in a good place

to face all that comes my way during my day at work.

we have to let go to let something new in.

Things have been building up and you let it

go because you just don’t have anywhere else to go.

You’ve been awaken from this nightmare to realize that reality isn’t a dream

and all that is going on around you is real and true and sometimes painful too.

This journey

I had to take on my own 

to find what I had lost along the way. 

The pace was slow and steady

for I had nowhere to be.

No one to impress or

worry about.

This was my time to finally find out what was

really out there waiting for me.

Even now as I am back and things

have not changed much. 

I know I can handle it all being thrown at 

me even when it hurts and leaves a scar. 

I will still hold up my head and know that 

I made it through it all at the end with some happiness shining 

down on me again.

This peace

was all I needed as life just seemed to become to black and white.

The color that would brighten up my days had faded so much that I didn’t know

how my life used to be before the darkness took over.

I feel at peace with everything even though the crazy circus that is called my life has not changed much.

I am okay with the things I can not control and I try with all my might to fix and help the things In my life I can change to become better and smoother.

Today I am me again and tomorrow who knows what will happen but, I’m happy to be here to breathe the fresh air and to once in a while feel the beauty that peace can give me.

It’s been two long weeks and today I am back and so ready to just write and share some new pieces with everyone.

Anyways I hope everyone has had a great week and will be able to enjoy their labor day weekend.

It’s been nice to take this break and just find some much-needed peace and just let my mind relax.

take risk 

so here I am playing with fire 

burning away the file that tells you of my past. 

It’s time for me to move on and move pass all these things 

that rock me from the core. 

Time to feel like the weight of the world is not on my shoulders anymore. 

Time to feel like a brand new me and take on the world with both hands holding on tight to the things that matter. 

Time to let go of the stress and relax for once for more than a moment.
