Daily Prompt:Crossroads

I have come to many crossroads in my life

and some how I choose a path that just circles

me back to the road I’ve been on before.

I’m lead down the right road and I find

hope once again and then I stumble and I fall flat on my face.

I roll over and look up at the sky and I wonder how it all went wrong again.

Oh, how my crossroads lead me to growth which then leads to me always end up standing still.

Stuck in a time and place I don’t know how to find my way out without running

away.

This time my crossroads lead me to a new place that was full of joy, hope and I

didn’t know what would become of me at this point, but I hoped the feeling of endless joy.

Would supply me through whatever was thrown at me and I would for once keep moving

and not be stuck in the crossroad I had grown to love and cherish for now.

Daily Prompt: Whisper

mywords2228

I saw you leaning against the wall as

Everyone walks by laughing among their friends.

But  your all alone, listening to music on your phone

And I wish I could walk up to you and whisper.

The possibility of what we could have for we would

Have each other and you wouldn’t have to stand alone

Again for I’d always be there by your stand.

My sweet whispers, you will always remember when

We are apart for just a short time, for I can’t stay away

from  you too long.

The memories of those whispers will always be on my mind

if only I had the  guts to tell you that day.

Maybe then these whispers would  be a shared memory.

It’s you

mywords2228

I’m lost in

can you found me soon.

or will I wander

forever hoping you notice

I’m gone.

And when you do will it be too late.

Will the time alone have driven me

mad, and will what  I have to say still make sense.

Blur

I’m cruising on autopilot

don’t ask me what I see

It’s all just a blur in front and around me.

Why

mywords2228

Am I so upset that I can’t seem to keep it inside

like I want to climb to the highest mountain and just scream

it all out.

Until I’m empty inside

No words left inside, no emotions so high

Just quite all around.

And I feel my feet on the ground again and

I am fine again at least that’s the lie I keep telling myself.

Frustrated

mywords2228

For my heart is in a place that doesn’t seem safe.
The thorns grow more out of control each day.
Poking and causing pain like never before.
There is no situation to what my heart is going through.

There’s not even an explanation to how this started or when it will end.
So I’m frustrated to the point of I’m just standing here waiting for something to happen.
For I have no moves left to take and no words left to say.

Trapped in the not so Alice in Wonderland!

mywords2228

I didn’t think It would end up this way, where I would fall down the rabbit hole.

And instead of falling into the world of Alice in wonderland did.

I fall into a hole where my life is upside down and all the people who I want to be around.

Have all but disappeared and not in slow motion where you saw them go.

but so fast I didn’t catch on until they were gone and only small fragments are left of the presence that used to be here.

No one is present and soon I feel I am to become the mad-hatter.

talking nonsense to myself, well I guess it won’t matter for no one comes for tea anymore.

Lost in the world not so like Alice in Wonderland.

Beauty come back to me!

mywords2228

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.

Hurt

mywords2228

by your words as they pour out of your mouth.

Time sometimes can’t fix the things that don’t go

away as each day passes by.

Those words haunt you for the rest of your life.

Floating around in your head and no matter how hard you try to forget them.

They don’t go away and they are burned in your memory like a tattoo is inked into your skin.

Forever apart of your life, whether you like it or not.

Big & Point of View

National Gallery Art Museum  in Washington D.C.

Sometimes things in life seem too big to handle

but we need to calm down.

For the things that may be too big may not be that big after all.

Lets not fall apart all at once when those things don’t work out

the way we want.

Some big things just need to be put aside and when were ready go back to them

the affect they used to have on us won’t be the same.

The pressure won’t be pushing so hard on your heart or your mind

you will be free.

Not a concern anymore!

mywords2228

What am I waiting for

your not coming back

for awhile.

I’m a lost toy to you something you out grown.

I’m in the dust under your bed in the deep corners you never looked.

To afraid to see the truth, if only one more push.

You would have found me and maybe then no one would feel hurt.

Like a memory from the past, I’m not a concern anymore.

And when years have past and you decide to redecorate.

You move that small bed and there I am.

 I am old and you barely recognize me.

But you smile as a memory comes to you.

Then you toss me to the trash and like that I’m gone for good.

Ignored

Neglected by your silence

Rejected by your lack of words.

How much longer do I try to stand by.

For you to figure out I’m not as tough as I seem.

Street

mywords2228

A street that is less traveled as the one thing in life gets in the way.

Snow or better known as the problem.

Sometimes it comes down on you slowly and quick and with a blink of the eye it’s gone.

But sometimes it’s quick and painfully long as it comes into your life and doesn’t leave for a lifetime.

It blocks the only street you have to get out and the fight to get out just disappears.

And a blanket of resentment and fear and regret and helplessness covers over you.

And you wonder if your street will ever be the same and once you get out.

Will that be without bumps and bruises?

Probably not for this problem is better waited out.

Eventually it will go away.

Pretending never last!

mywords2228

Sometimes I can pretend that it’s all okay

but the truth is pretending can only last for

so long before the true feelings come back

stronger than before.

And as they hit me the wind is knocked out of me.

And I can’t pretend anymore.

Oh,How I wait for this shell to be broken!

mywords2228

I need to be just who I am, and maybe I don’t know who that is just yet.

I walk through this life with many emotions playing around in my head.

I try to be as strong as I can be and maybe that’s why not many people.

 See how bright I can shine for I hide it all, in this shell that is hard to break.

Maybe I’m just hoping someone will keep coming back to break the shell

And not just accept what I offer at the edge of the true me.
