Am I

The one to fall for the foolishness

Because I don’t want to be alone.

Am I to worry about my chances of going down in life because I feel a little old.

Am I to work myself to death because they are losing people left and right.

Am I to make sacrifices in my life so others can be happy around me and I suffer for it.

Am I to give up before the real battle has even begun.

Am I to change what needs to change in order to make the things I need to happen actually happen.

Am I to pray on it and then sit by the side doubting it will happen.

No, I am to believe it will work out and take some steps to help make it happen.

So that I can say we did together for the Lord didn’t make me be lazy but yet hopefully at the same time.

It’s time to say yes I am to do this and let the others figure out their own plan.

Not waste a moment of this time we have together.

Because of the things going on around us, there is not enough time to waste by doing a lot of simple things.

We must act now and worry about the risk and outcomes later.

Life can special you and shock you all at the same time.

Keep your head down but yet do your best to get it done.

For the stress of the unknown is worst than knowing what will happen and still not doing anything about it.

Need hope

and dreams

and joy to get by in their life.

A lot of times they don’t all come at the same time

and so there is some times that the dream is not hopeful  and so the joy is not seen at all.

But, you don’t give up when things go wrong for the hope that things will turn around give you the strength to keep fighting for your dream.

And the joy will come when you finally get everything to come together and you finally succeed because you didn’t give up when the struggle was continuous.

You had big enough faith to know that it would all work out and your hope for a joyful day was answered and your dream not just a dream but your present and hopefully your future too.

Out

and about all on my own with no worry insight and no hurry in my steps as I move along at a very normal pace.

I know today is for me and the worry about how long things will take have not crossed my mind as I go about my day just enjoy the slow pace for once.

No care insight about what will come next just enjoying the day as the weather is so calm with no storm insight to ruin my day out.

Weak

I feel it in my bones as I stand here being in the one place I rather not be.

Faking a smile and trying to be okay when I feel nothing but okay in this moment.

I want to do nothing but scream and the truth is no matter how much I say my frustration.

Nothing gets better and so I say nothing at all because what I have to say doesn’t seem to matter.

I am just another body even though I do good work and a lot of people see that at the end of the day they can push someone to be like me.

So what makes me any special if I can be replaced in a blank of an eye.

There will be lots of denial and lies but the end results will always be the same and with that is it worth dealing with.

An question I think I already know the answer too but, yet I am still around losing my mind all over again as if I am stuck in a loop and living my last days on earth in hell the place I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

To be

truly alone is like standing on this rock

with no one around to help you or to save you.

The fall will be a far one but that is not why you up there right now.

You didn’t know how it felt to be truly be alone so here you are standing on that rock, feeling sorry for yourself and those that choose to ignore you now.

Why you ask yourself that every time life seems to throw you a curve ball and you realize there is no one you can really talk to or relate too.

They

said taking some time off would help me find myself and find out what I truly need to do.

But, right now I do feel at peace but the ache of knowing that I am going back in a couple of days makes me want to stay forever for there was nothing but great momenta.

I know the moment I have to get my head back in the game of stress everything will change.

Some want me to speak up but for the first time, I’m just so over it that I just keep my concerns to myself.

I know this day looking out at all the possibilities I can still do.

I won’t give up just because someone keeps pushing me down for they seem to think they know everything.

But, the truth is the problem is still there and there is no hope of it changing. But I can continue to grow and end up outlasting the problem in the end.

My head I’ve imagined this moment so many times.

But, I know when it all comes to reality it will be the best feeling in the world.

Because that day will be the day I truly start living the life I’ve always dreamed of but never thought could come true.

I will smile and it will reach my eyes and I will cry nothing but happy tears.

I realize why did I wait for so long for this to happen.

I know that tomorrow was not granted for me but, lucky enough I made it to the next day and week and month.

And now it’s time to live as if tomorrow is the last moment I experience and I want it to be a great one.

want to be a great one and be remembered by my words and my heart.

I don’t want to live a life that is full of regret or disappointment.

I can’t keep going this way and feel like a stranger in my own body.

Because I’m staying behind for you the one who takes me for granted every moment I am around you.

There isn’t a moment when you slow down and really help consistently.

I know I have to do this for me but, the timing isn’t right.

I don’t know how to get to where I need to be without feeling like I’m falling short.

I don’t want to fail because I know when my time is up there won’t be a second to look back for it will be too late.

won’t keep hiding from you if you would just open up.

Just let me come in as it heats up outside and the spring weather blows through.

let’s be like a nice day outside sharing the breeze and the sun shine as we begin to connect again.

And feel at peace as a beautiful melody plays as we realize being stubborn won’t help this situation.

We must compromise to solve and fix the things we are both fighting and show all our cards this time.

Sometimes

you don’t want to see what is right in front of you.

And how much you want to stop filling up the space with anything just to not have to deal with the real reason your hiding in the first place.

But, even though you are running you don’t take anything for granted because you know everything plays a part in your life.

You know that one day when you less expect it something is going to knock you off your feet and change everything.

And you won’t be able to hide or ignore what is right in front of you.

toast to the journey ahead of us and to the path were leaving behind

because without that path we wouldn’t be heading in the directions we are today.

Feeling of finally knowing where were supposed to be going and how great it feels too.

To know that this path is long but the destination will be so sweet and worth all the traveling and the time together.

This journey will shape us into who we know we have been holding back in the path.

It’s time to shine and no matter what dark places we may go to we will shine in them and we will walk away from them too with smiles and hope in our eyes and our hearts because our faith and love will carry us through it all.

No doubts and no regrets will be felt this time!

know this time I need to lay down and not get up so quickly because I don’t need to make a decision right now.

For if I get back up right now the peace and love I feel will go away and the anger and frustration will come back full force and right now I just need this time to center me and worry about me not about the situation I can’t control.

So tired of thinking about the thing that is the elephant in the room even when you are no longer in the room.

You just won’t stay away and your voice just has to be heard and right now all I want to do is not deal with this situation and to truly leave it behind me as I walk away and never look back.

I don’t want to remember you when I open my eyes and move on from this place for you are my worst nightmare the reason little white lies are at the front of my mind every time you ask me to do something on my day off.

Will my life stay like this forever or will I find a way to escape the elephant in the room.

Every

little thing feels like a brick in my way.

Nothing going right as the week comes to an end.

No words seem to making much sense when it comes to what I really want to say.

So every little thing that is written out feel like I have come up with the message I want to say.

Everything feels like only half of me is focusing on the words that are flying through my  mind right now.

So many moments and words feel like they have been wasted.

been awhile where I’ve been able to sit down and have a good spread of food in front of me. 

The urge to rush through a meal is not there today and it feels refreshing and relaxing to have not much on my plate today. 

Tomorrow and the next day will be the same and I won’t rush off to do much when I know the time will hold up longer since the ability to do more is not as strong as it was during the week. 

To eat some now and be able to come back later and finish the rest without worrying I have forgotten and it has been days before I look again.
