Hold on

for things will start to look up soon 

I know right now things seem so hard that holding on any longer just seems impossible. 

But, I’m here to tell you the pain you are feeling will be worth it at the end of this trial you are going through. 

You have trained for this and it’s time to hold longer than you have before because your strength to get through this is what we are looking for and what you need the most right now. 

You know not what tomorrow will hold for you and so today you must work so hard that you will be satisfied even if the tomorrow never comes or tomorrow you feel weaker than today.

You were

the hope I was looking  for.

The peace I needed to wash over me

the smile that lifted up my spirit after a long day.

The arms that picked me up when I couldn’t go on anymore

The joke I needed to hear, so that I could laugh again.

The eraser I needed to erase all the things that didn’t matter anymore from my brain and my devices.

Your one of the reasons I have a new beginning and hope that everything will workout.

You’re the reason I’m still fighting this thing called life.

Living for me because you gave up your life for me, trying to do what’s right and praying that things will get better but that I will take something away from all that has happened to me.

I won’t give up for you are there for me now as you were there for me than.

Fire

It first starts in my throat and I feel like my breath was just taken from me and then it begins to grow into my stomach until I curled up in so much pain.
That it just doesn’t seem possible for one person to be able to handle all of t his at once without passing out.
I reach out for a bottle of water to quench my thirst to put out the fire in my throat for I’ve seen better days.
I try so hard to feel better so that I can get back to feeling secure in the body that carries me through it all.
I fight for my sanity as my head begins to spin but yet I can’t give up for they are counting on me even though I’m barely holding on myself.
Some how I get through it all just to crash and burn the next day and then back to being okay the next.
There is a war going on inside of my body and I don’t think that I’m winning right now but the battle is not over yet.
I’m not fully myself yet but I’m fighting with all I got to get back to the me  that was strong and dependable no matter what was thrown my way.

The Flame

of my warmth is slowly burning out as you look at the glow in my eyes fade

will you remember how wonderful I was as I walked around like an empty shell.

You will try to open me up and find out where it all went wrong, a wall of ultimate strength will block you from finding me.

You will try with all you might to break through because you promised that you would always help me find my way back when life gets to be too much.

You sweat, swear, and cry as you pound away at this wall, barely making a scratch at first.

It takes days and hours to chip away at it but finally after a long week of beating it down you finally slip inside and find me curled up into a ball.

Your warmth lights the fire in me again and we come back to reality.

My walls are forever broken by the love you have for me.

Love you want to last a lifetime but only if I believe and trust in you.

And so, you put out your hand and I choice to hold on to you no matter what comes our way

for you are my protector now and the only thing keeping evil out of me.

I am only

mywords2228

as strong as you let me be

and sometimes it’s hard to be

more than what I think I am capable to be.

I want to grow so strong that the little things don’t

bring me down anymore.

I won’t just sit here and let it all fade away for I can’t seem to snap out of this

quick enough.

I don’t let many in for once in they are in they just disappear and then I’m left with an empty hole

of what I thought would be a friendship of a lifetime.

Life is seems too short when you living it in that moment and the next you know

someone is gone, and all it feels like is you just met them yesterday.

Will you forget who I am now?

Or remember me for what I was when I am gone?

Only you can me that choice now or live with the regret later!

Daily Prompt: Brick

I stack the bricks one at a time as

I block your view from my life for good.

You don’t deserve to see the things that are

happening to me, for you never cared and I’m  moving on.

I don’t want to feel like I’m the one locked inside my own

life when I’m in control not you, the one with the brown eyes.

You used to watch me like a tiger watching its prey

waiting for a moment of weakness to overcome me and, then

you would prance and in the end.

It would take all that I have to get back up and fight for myself

again.

So I’m blocking you out and every brick that goes up the strength

that flows inside me grows until I’m fee and my wall is up for good.

But one day that wall will come down and when it does you will be gone

and, what is left of you I will blow away like dust.

Beauty come back to me!

What started off so beautiful as the sunset

quickly turned so dark, and I couldn’t stop myself from walking right into the quicksand.

Soon it was dragging me down.

How did  I get so far away from  that beauty I once got so blinded by.

On a journey all on my own, I can’t let the darkness slip in through the

cracks of my life anymore.

So beauty when your ready to come back I will be waiting with  my lights on.
