Daily Prompt: Thwart

mywords2228

This wasn’t how the plan was supposed to go and she knew he had thwarted her plans again for it just wasn’t ready for the next step.

He thought he could be brave and well take on his fear yet again, but he couldn’t and well he didn’t want her to know of this fear he just yet.

So he made others get involve and be the reason they couldn’t go this time or that other time and so on.

But, she was tired of trying to make this plan come true so she simply just stopped trying and made other plans with him.

Until one day she just asked her right out of the blue what his problem was and that he better tell her now for she will not be defeated again.

Daily Prompt: Haul

mywords2228

You wanted so badly to haul the words that would make them all be so shocked because you were tired of hearing them  complain over and over to you.

You wanted to haul the words that they threw out at you because they were mad about something that had nothing to do with you.

You wanted to haul words and possibly things just to end the anger and frustration that had nothing to do with you.

You wanted to haul the words of I don’t care because well it’s you life and right now you are not listening to me.

So I’ll haul everything to the side and move on and let you figure it out on your own.

Daily Prompt: Frigid

mywords2228

The water was freezing cold that day and anyone who would go in would be a fool.

It had been a bitter winter and the coldness just didn’t seem to be going away fast enough.

Spring had arrived and still it was too cold to say it was spring

how much longer will the cold stick around and how much longer did we want to deal with bundling up and trying to not get sick.

The cold air was putting us all in no mood to be out and about when it was so much warmer in your own home.

If you didn’t need to go out then you just didn’t go out that day, the cold air had us all ready to take a trip away from here for the mess was far from cleaned up and the cold air wasn’t the only thing cold around this place.

Daily Prompt: Churn

mywords2228

Sometimes the things in life are rough and messed up and all you want to do is blend them up.

When your done blending it all together, you hope that things would smooth out and for once you could smile about what’s going on around you.

But, right now you just want to let go and not think of the things that are outside your life the one that is full of peace and love.

The one that keeps you on your toes and not the one that makes you want to run away and not look back.

The peace is slowly ticking away and the time is eating away at what used to be me.

Can I blend together a life that would be smooth as butter or will it be more lumpy and unclear to where it will end.

Daily Prompt: Explore

mywords2228

To explore the world and get out of one place is what I want to do for

being stuck in the same box for too long is no longer pleasant. 

The days are long and the places are well, all the same, nothing new coming my way feels like a maze walking around seeing the same things until you finally find your way out. 

I know my time to explore will be limited eventually, so, for now, I will take the time to see what the world has to offer me. 

For living with regret is not something I plan on doing now or ever. 

I want to have books full of memories of the time I travel here and explored everything and tells these stories I have to anyone who will listen.

Daily Prompt: Radiant

mywords2228

You shine like a light that I never want to go out

I know that things can be tough and difficult at times but I don’t want you to lose who you are to please those that don’t care in the first place.

When you’re quiet and staying to yourself I know that something is going on and all I want to do is help you through things time.

But, you’ve been hurt before and your trust is on lockdown and I just wish that you would shine your light on me and see the truth soon.

For I’m here for you and I’m not going anywhere for I have so much time to offer that I know that you will let me in soon.

Because you are not the type of person that lets someone sit around for long without telling them off.

Daily Prompt:Betrayed

mywords2228

I let you in when there was a time not many people knew what was going on with me.

You were there for me more than those who had known me all or most of all my life.

I trusted you and yet you choose to betray me with the words you knew would hurt me the worst.

You took all that you knew and turned it against me and in the end, I saw you for what you were a useless and heartless man.

Maybe one day all this will come back and bite you in the ass but for how I know I will have a hard time just keeping it all so small.

Daily Prompt: Toxic

mywords2228

It’s always better to leave the toxic things in your life behind and move forward into something brighter and wiser.

I won’t sit by and let them drain me of all the goodness I worked so hard to put into my life.

This moment the toxic things will not overcome me for I will surpass the things that try to drain me and wear me out.

Daily Prompt: Warning

mywords2228

Sometimes there are no warnings before the storm comes and hits you off your butt

I just wonder where my warning was when you came into my life and decided you wanted to make things so much harder for me.

I didn’t think things could get worse but you made the little stumbles in life feel like a major storm hitting me over and over again.

I survive every storm but I just starting to feel like I’m weaker than I thought I was at this moment.

And I know when I fall it will be with a warning because I know and can feel when I will hit my wall.

Daily Prompt: quartet

mywords2228

Today was our weekly gathering of coming together and playing some music.

I played on my bass guitar  and Sam was on the drums and, Keith played the electronic guitar.

Then came Cathy our lead singer who was always late but, could sing her butt off.

We didn’t want to be famous we just wanted to have one day we’re we could be less stressed out.

We loved to jam out into the wee hours of the night.

It always help us get through the rest of the week and truly relax on our weekends off with our families.

We treasured this time for we knew tomorrow was promised and that one day we may not be able to do this anymore.

So we played hard for we knew only time would tell if we would be back here next week.

Daily Prompt: Micro

mywords2228

Like a micro chip sometimes the things that rock your world is so tiny you didn’t think it could end up doing so much damage.

The more you try to out smart  it, it runs ahead and knocks you back down letting you know that you are not in charge.

The little things in life can change your perspective of what you thought was the path you needed to take.

Daily Prompt: Inefficient

mywords2228

Even though they worked hard today the results just felt inefficient.

Making tomorrow even harder to accomplish their goal.

But, they knew they couldn’t give up now even if they wanted too.

The time to do better was now or never.

Daily Prompt: Swallow

mywords2228

I swallow the words that want to come out my mouth.

For it is not the time or place to put you in your place this morning.

I just don’t understand why you have to make a scene.

I guess it’s because you want attention but, at what cost.

I walk way because I don’t want no part of the drama you throwing my way.

I don’t want to Swallow the words I know that need to be heard today and tomorrow.

Daily Prompt: Faceless

mywords2228

Your voice is all I remember that day for it was too dark to see your face, the words you said to me.

Didn’t just help me that day they have been words that motivate me every day to do better to be better and, to not let the ugly of this world bring me down.

Because, yes I am different but that is not something I need to be afraid of or to hate because that makes me stand out more.

But, to be proud of who I am and to accept that one day someone else will see what you saw in me that day.

I don’t know who you were or where you went but, I just want to say thank you for taking the time to hear what I had to say and for giving me the best advice I have ever received.
