Daily Prompt: Elaborate

mywords2228

Sometimes a great piece is lacking of details for the writer forgets to elaborate on something that really would have made the book or film great.

But, sometimes elaboration is just what a story needs to be able to piece it together.

That’s all a reader wants to do piece the pieces of the story together for they want to guess that this is the way it will end.

They usually don’t see what is coming because they are so involved with the details and facts they don’t have to be thinking about why the writer did that or didn’t do that.

So elaborating on a story is the right way to go because I want to be involved and grabbing on to every detail so that in the end I will be sad the story ended but satisfied with the way the author ended it.

Daily Prompt: Bestow

mywords2228

Every day your put to work to use the skills you have and put them to use in a way that makes it easier for others.

You try to do your best because life can get crazy and as long as you work hard and the balance between you and everyone else is even.

You put to use your skills so that you have something else to do when work is not on your schedule and you have time to yourself for once.

You let yourself get lost in the words and the music that flows through you as you create something amazing or beautiful.

For even if your work that you put out there is really just for you, you know that in a way it will benefit others.

Daily Prompt: Vague

mywords2228

It was unclear of why he decided that move last night that not only changed his life but hers.

The girl who didn’t expect much but let him in because he was different and there was no one left to let in.

The words that cut her so deep that night, seem to come out of nowhere and the motive and reasons to why he would say and act that way.

Haunted her for days to come, but soon enough he would come back and the things he ruined were clear.

But, as he explained the reasons for why it all went down that way.

She was mad and sad that he did it all because he felt a certain way and decided it was best to not talk it through and just to walk away for fighting wasn’t his thing.

Daily Prompt: Partake

mywords2228

You watched them get married and you partook in feeling the joy they had that day.

You lived through life partaking in a lot of joy and pain and you choose to get through it all because, in the end, it helped you.

Become the person you are today which is awesome, caring, loving, kind and so much more than you ever thought you could become.

Daily Prompt: Authentic

mywords2228

The letter said it was by you but the words just didn’t seem like something you would say and so I doubted it.

And when I mention the letter to you, you acted like you had no clue what I was talking about.

Like writing a letter to me just would be pointless and so I let it go, knowing then those words were not yours and I didn’t know if I wanted to know who truly wrote them.

Because that would prove to me that you weren’t the one I needed to be around right now.

Daily Prompt: Parallel

mywords2228

It seems that we will never be on the same page in our life

no matter how much we try the end results are always the same.

I’m wanting to do things that you would not want to do even thou I would try anything for you.

I know opposites attract but this time being so unlike is just creating a tension that can not be improved at this point.

Daily Prompt: Genie

All she wanted was to be free so

tired of being used for three wishes here and there.

She was not happy with the outcome that everyone was taking from asking for three things they wanted the most.

Because she knows three wishes was never enough for them and they begin to resent her and try to trick others into wishing more for them again.

Until someone says no and wishes for themselves to have money and anything else they think they need.

Do we need three wishes to make one’s life better

Or do three wishes take away from true happiness in life?

Daily Prompt: Fret

mywords2228

I keep telling myself that there is no point in over worrying about the things in life that seem like they are out of your control.

Am I worrying about the right thing or are they worried about the wrong thing?

I know they are because I’m giving up more of me and in the end, I feel lost and well they are happy that they don’t have to overstress.

Because to the rescue here, I come but at the end of the day what about my worries?

Or do my worries not matter and am I just wasting my time for no one cares or worries about what happens to me?

Daily Prompt: Crank

mywords2228

They want to crank up the pressure to try to make you be able to work through the heat even when you shouldn’t be pushed that far.

But, do they care no they do not and so when you end up cranky and not acting like yourself.

What do they have to say nothing because as long as you do what they say they don’t care about your whereabouts.

So cranky is what I am when I think about those people and all that I do, in the end, is it worth it.

Daily Prompt: Song

mywords2228

This song always helped me get through the tough times in my life, I just put in my headphones and listened to this song for hours and nothing could put me at peace like it could do.

It always felt like this song was written for me and no matter what I was going through it could relate to every moment and second.

I didn’t know what I would do if I didn’t have this song to listen to when the noise around me was just too much.

When the light just wouldn’t come on and all I could do was sit in the darkness and wish things would change for me soon.

Daily Prompt: Deplete

mywords2228

He depleted all the funds from your joint account and he wasted no time to get away and never to be seen again.

You thought you could trust him and you felt mad and sad all at the same time.

But, the truth was he did more deplete on your energy and time then on the money because most of the money was his and not much of yours.

For, you learned a long time ago that what is your’s is best kept with you and someone who wants to spend all the time will take more than their own in the end.

You were relieved that the account was finally closed and he was gone.

For you didn’t sign up to do all the work on your own for there was always the two of you and in the end.

It was just you and even though it was a struggle you did it all on own and no one could tell you that you didn’t work hard in the end.

Daily Prompt: Glimmer

The faint light was coming through the window today as I sat inside knowing I wasn’t going out.

I said my peace and did what I had to do but, for now, I was going to rest and not think about much.

As my days became different and light again, nothing was holding me down any more the faint light was the sign I had been looking for all this time.

Now the faint happiness that I felt that day was pleasant and I hope it would last longer than the time I have off now.

Daily Prompt: Disrupt

mywords2228

I just needed some peace and quiet just for a little while and then you came along and disrupted my moment of peace.

A moment that I treasure and only can last for many five seconds to a minute of two.

But,  I guess by now I should be used to the fact that nothing in this place last long so I should accept and expect that nothing good last for long and when it ends that there is always a mess to clean up.

And frankly I’m tired of cleaning them up and feeling the stress more than I really want to feel it right now.

They always said I burned a different way and when I light up everyone who choose to ignore me.

Would stop what they were doing and stop and stare like for the first time they were seeing me for me.

And I wasn’t ugly or strange anymore for they finally saw the beauty of me and it wasn’t just within me.

I always enjoyed their looks of awe but, I’ve always known that I wasn’t something to look away from and even though it took them this long.

I wouldn’t mind if they never saw me for what I am for I know the only thing that matters is how I see my self at the end of the day.

Daily Prompt: Rush

mywords2228

I don’t want to rush for I live for these moments when life just slows down for well I’m not in a hurry to go anywhere.

I wish I could be off more for the peace I get from not hearing someone else other than my own voice.

I don’t want to deal with things that are mostly out of my hands but here I am dealing with stuff that happened before I came along.

The stress I could definitely do without as I’m tired of rushing around and just for once would like to not rush and just enjoy these moments for sooner or later these moments will be fewer.

Time seems to be long when you’ve been around for a while but the feeling of not rushing to get somewhere is one of the best moments for me.
