I never

thought I’d feel this peace day after day.

Yes there are moments where there is a little distraction from that peace.

But all is calm and not much drama and so much help is around.

Sometimes time moves fast and sometimes I wish it would speed up.

But the feeling of not having to rush around feels so good to me.

It’s like finally I caught a break from the stress and worry that has always been apart of my life.

Finally I can lay here and rest and not worry about the unknown.

For whatever happens next I am ready for it no matter what.

You

had so much to look forward too and maybe you had it all planned out.

But, the day you prepared to walk across that stage felt like the day you had been waiting for.

You were excited and just extreme ready for this day to hurry up for you were just so ready to get it over with.

Soon it ended and the next day was a new journey for you and one that would go in a direction you never thought it would.

The struggle that became your life was overwhelming and not ending anytime soon.

You tried it all to just keep yourself together during this difficult and dark time, It was long and then the light truly shined down on you and things started to look up for you.

But, you became so busy that the little things in life seem not to be as important to you or you just didn’t have the time to enjoy them.

You wanted so bad to just have a moment of peace because you were tired of it all and no matter the little time you got off the state of your mind and body and soul were already ruined and damaged.

You still try to fix the damage that has been done because you just want to be at peace again and to just feel happy for more than two days at a time.

Daily Prompt:Test

You test me with your words as you

Try to catch me off guard.

As time goes on I forget that I need to stay alert when I comes to you.

When I least expect it you crawl out and snake around my legs and I fall

Again for your trick and I failed again for you won’t let me get to the end.

Maybe I won’t ever pass your test but maybe that’s the way you wanted it all along.
