is happening all around me and I know
Something good will come from it.
But it’s hard to see that when it feels like the people who supported you have all but cut the rope.
Leaving you hanging with no hope in sight and as you call them no one seems to look your way.
You give up on them and hope that the strength inside of you can get you through it all.

I’m different and yet funny and nice.
But I’m not so great at being a friend.
Or at least that’s how I feel as the doors of friendship keep shutting on me.
Maybe I withdraw from the world just a little bit too much.
I guess I’m better at disappearing into a book or a movie.
But, I’m so great if you could get past that all for I have a lot to give but shyness is a big part of who I am.
But I don’t let it slow me down for I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in this place of feeling so lost about who I am and what I meant to do.
I know I pray and that there are few that stuck with me to the end but, maybe sometimes it would be nice to have just a little more support.
But who knows maybe this is how it’s meant to be for just me.

as the cold wraps around me that I’ve been lucky this whole time.
For things could be worse but somehow even the things that should be sucking the life out of me.
It is more of a blessing for it makes me realize even though I am stuck in this storm.
There is a way out and if I just wait it will come to me and there is no point in feeling sorry for myself.
For this is only the beginning and there is always time for a miracle to happen and wipe away the bad of my day or my year.

all the rain outside today.
I am still so full with Joy and happiness.
Even with it being so cold out that I feel I rather just stay wrapped up in a blanket all day I still go out and see the beauty in the fallen leaves and the wind wiping all around us.
Even though I know this will be a long week I Still smile for things could be differently but all I see is change coming my way.
I know that things won’t always be this way and I know that things will get better but, I also know it’s time for me to grown and find out more about myself.
Today is not just any ordinary day it’s the day I woke up and truly had a smile on my face as the rain poured all around me not wanting to take a break.
But, instead of waiting it out I took my chance and I went out there and it had magically slowed down and let me be out and about for a little while before it picked back up again.

feels like something of the past sometimes when all that rises from you lately is frustration.
unanswered questions running through your life as your story comes to a stop.
You still wonder what to do and why didn’t you move before it was too late.
Because you overthink it all because you don’t want to be in the same situation all over again.
But the truth is you don’t have the answers and as you keep praying for them.
You just have to have a little faith because it will all come together on it own I hope.

Three Line Tales, Week 196

night started a little sooner than I expected but as daylight saving has arrived the darkness will be coming more sooner than later.
The orange moon shined so brightly as halloween night had came and gone with a storm no one wanted but, it took over and all the kids surely ran away.
With maybe not as much candy in there bags but it was better to be safe that night as the wind picked up and the air turned cripes.
Trees and leaves won’t the only things blow around that night as people were still out and about on a night so unique like this.

a wish that November will be better than October and that we will enjoy this month
for the year is truly almost over as December is coming up and then the hope things just keep going up for us is all we want.
Time is running out and we realize that no matter how hard we try we need to move quickly because the time to get it done is running out.
We have to have courage now because it’s time to take those risk and it’s time to just let everything fall to the side if it’s not what we have to get done now because this life is intense now and you don’t want to stress about what if’s when you can do it now.
No more complaining, it’s time to face everything with confidents that it will go in your favor because you have worked hard and sacrificed so much already.
So wish so hard that the only thing you will think about for now on will be that wish which will come true because it’s your time to shine now and forever as long as you believe in yourself again and again.

to leave for I know what I need and right now it’s not being here.
In a place that seems to crush my dreams and hopes more than help them grow more.
So I need to get away from all that I know and just face the present with a smile on my face and to look forward to things that are coming my way.
For I know this isn’t all there is for me even though lately I truly don’t know where I fit but I know it’s not here anymore.
I know my talent would best served some where else for I have a lot to give and helping is what I love to do.
To know that I have just given someone a little slice of a good moment of their day just brings a smile to my face.
I know that sometimes I can be so frustrated and disappointed because of things I can’t seem to control but I know I will push through it and in the end I know I win.
For I will keep my head up and I won’t let the things that are so negative get me down because I want to stay in this bubble of positive feelings that just carry me through the darkness moments and seems to keep the bullshit at bay.
I know the day will come when I will have to truly shut down to avoid the things that want to drag you into their hell for who doesn’t like company when their miserable and angry at the world.
I will be the light to guide you out for I know how much damage the darkness can do if you entertain it way too long.

the moment I’ve been waiting for and yet this year it doesn’t have the same spark as it had last year.
But, here I am trying to make the best out of everything as I know the day will soon be over.
And then it will be Tuesday
and that will be it but let’s not get ahead of ourselves as it is only Sunday and there is still enough time left to make things great.
I guess we will find out tomorrow but for now I will enjoy the night before the stress hits the fan.

about me and how cute I’m dressed but about the changing of the seasons and all the holidays that people are celebrating.
It’s the time to evaluate how you’ve been living since the new year begun and what your going to do before it ends.
This is the time to make that change and to step out of your comfort zone and make a big decision in your life.
But also to finally think before you jump because you want to be somewhere that makes you feel good and doesn’t make you feel like your on the edge of finally cracking and ending up like humpty dumpty who even put back together again was not ever the same.
I don’t want to just fall this fall I want to fly away from the troubles and pains of this year and come out on top again because what is the point of setting goals and having dreams if you don’t do anything about it.
So this fall is about nature and about making a difference before it too late and all you end up with is regrets.

Of just moving around
With no real directions.
Just trying to get things done.
But, thankfully the last two I wasn’t alone but with a real team.
There was focus and encouragement and hope insight.
I just know things were looking up but, then the reality of these last two days is it isn’t permanent.
Only a temporary thing and my hope of peace and joy are all just short term things and the anxiety and stress will come back in full force.

Me as the rain begins to pour down more and more.
I stood out here waiting where you said would be a perfect spot.
But, instead it turned out to be the worst spot as I watched you that day with her.
You ignored my text and calls as you laughed and stayed dry from the rain pouring all around.
I felt like I became the rain that day as I melted away.
Out of your mind and out of your life and there is no regret felt from me but I’m sure you may have some but that not my concern anymore.

Weekend from so cold
To still cold now raining all around me.
Not in the mood to go out but things still have to get done.
One more day and back to the reality of what a mess things are when no one cares.
I know I’m blessed because things could be different and for that I am grateful because today the rain is wasting away the stress of last week.
And hopefully bringing in new light to guide me through the storms of my life that are soon to blow in.

long nights
never moment of rest.
Taking so much and thinking it is okay
because you are clueless has nothing to do with me.
To learn or to allow others to do the work for you in the end
leaves you vulnerable when they are not around.
You depend so much on others that you loss the ability to depend on yourself
for no one has you back in the end when they are just trying to make it out of this
zone of laziness and users.
There is no more sun when your in this zone for too long and if you try to stay too long
you too will question your own sanity and in the end you might not come out the same way your were before it all started.

Here’s my take on this Prompt
I wish this wasn’t true but I know the reason I have not heard from you.
Is that I’ve been replaced and even though no one can truly be like me there just wasn’t enough time on my part to give to you.
I know it was great while it lasted a friendship so true and such a blessing I hope the time we had together will always be cherished by you as it will be for me.
I won’t stay hurt for long for I still love you.
