from all the stress that is getting to me I just need to get away and just be relaxed with no overwhelming thought of what I didn’t get to or what I could have done better. 

I stand out here just trying to capture this peace I’m hoping to find when I’m away and enjoying the time I have off with no care in the world of the outside things. 

Just enjoying the quite and nature all around me as I know soon I will be sailing back into the port and be back in the reality I left behind.

I let it float up high in the sky that night in the hopes that this love would last for a long time.

I knew this night would be so romantic and sweet for you and me and I would treasure it with all the other happy memories.

Your smile was so bright and lovely that night, I’ll never forget how happy you looked.

I wonder

if you remember me to this day like you said you would and if I still flash in your mind from time to time.

Do the memories of me bring on sadness and regret or just the joy we experience in the time we knew each other.

I know the memories come and go only when my mind has the time to slow down from the busy life that I am living.

Only in these times when my mind sees something that used to be apart of our daily routine than to I think of you.

The past that only pops up when the stress is fading away and some of the better moments in my life comes back to me and always puts a smile on my face.

I’ve been

running all my life from something that could eat me up inside 

and many may not know what this thing was and how much it controlled my life. 

Some days were rough and I just didn’t want to deal and so I kept running and I wouldn’t stop until this feeling would leave me and I was at peace with myself again.

Things used to feel like this great pressure was always pushing on me and no matter how much I tried to push back it would win and I would become so weak.

I wouldn’t know what to do but, let this pull win and that it control me as I just didn’t care and life became so dull and my focus was way off and everything felt like I was in a storm. 

And no matter how hard I ran way this feeling would resurface and knock me back on my butt and as I reached out it would help but the pull will be something I live with until this day.

Long

journey ahead of me and I’m ready to take it and get away from this place. 

I need this trip to forget all the things that I’ve been stressing about and I just want to read and lose myself in something other than my life problems and the things I want to do. 

I want to feel like I’m doing something I want to do and I’m enjoying this time that I have to myself for this trip will be so long that I won’t know what day it is and I wont have a care in the world. 

As days and weeks fly by all the matters will the be the smile on my face and laugh that seems to be always filling the air around me. 

I will smile and realize this is the sweetest and peaceful  moment in my life and I know that I’ve waited a long time for this moment to come and I wouldn’t trade it in for anything.

When I looking my reflection in this dirty water, I wonder who am today and who I used to be.

I’m not that bright person I used to be full of light and hopeful in the things life throw at me.

Now I see nothing good happening as the problem becomes unsolvable, no matter how hard we work our lights are gone for good this week.

What a day

Like this path I didn’t feel like this day would ever end.

My hope for some peace and quite was not going to happen at least not today and I felt like as the day went on that I was losing my mind and no matter how hard I try things were not going to end well for me.

I don’t know why I expect more when I know the no relief is going to come for me and as my happy voice fades and the voice of defeat set in.

I don’t know how or why I put myself through this everyday and every week when I feel like there is no recovery for me and my mind is losing it’s focus and  I can’t remember what happened yesterday anymore and even though my memory is still sharp for long-term things.

My short-term memory is falling apart like everything else around me and yes I want to care and deal with it all but, sometimes I just want to be left alone and not have to answer to this crap.

I’m praying and hoping that things will charge for how much longer do I have to stand here and fight a battle that just feels like it’s not mine to fight but I am doing all the heavy lifting because they are too lazy to help out.

Daily Prompt: Retrospective

mywords2228

Sometimes looking back on past events doesn’t help you move forward in life it just gets you thinking about the what if’s.

And the what if’s really don’t get you anywhere because you start looking back on how you could improve the life that you are current living.

And yes we all want to improve on something to make life better but, we shouldn’t beat ourselves up just because we are not in the stage in our life we want to be.

Some day what is meant to be will fall right into place and we will be blessed that life is still improving and  that we get to wake up everyday and look back only to fix the things we can.

And to let go of the things that we just aren’t meant to have.

The day is coming to an end as the sun sunsets and all try to finish up their work for the day.

Thinking about what they would be doing when they get home and will they be relaxed enough to enjoy their time of freedom.

I like the quietness as the boats are abandoned as everyone is enjoy their down tine and hope to be wiser in the decision they made there today.

Don’t let them know you are hearing every word coming out of their mouth right now.

You know what they are saying has nothing to do with you but you just can’t help listening so hard at this moment.

As they go around the corner, you just want to know what is going on and can you be apart of it.

You don’t want to let them know you heard them but you want to know what’s going on because this may be an opportunity that could benefit you the most.

Even if it all works out you may want to calm down because the truth is you feel you are more valuable than you really are.

It’s a shame that you don’t see what a mess you are and what a mess you are making because, you feel you have and will get what you want in the end but that is not how it’s truly going to go.

So much

mywords2228

was left behind that day and now the hole is getting bigger.

The pain that was left behind

just so you could get a moment to breathe.

You thought the pain would fade and the truth is the wound is so much worse than before.

Time didn’t heal it the way she thought it would and now she was trapped into dealing with it now years later.

The tears that fell down her face that day, brought up so much pain that it was so unbearable.

So she fell to her knees and prayed things would work out soon because she didn’t know how much longer she could keep doing this.

I believe

I’m in to deep and now the chains just seem so hard  to break.

But, with all the strength I have left in me I will break them and get away from this place for I just can’t do this anymore.

I walk through life walking around like a zombie with nothing on my mind but getting out of this place.

I feel like time is going by too fast and I’m just barely moving at this point and when I gaze around I truly see all the things that I am missing out on.

I regret this move and now all the cards are out of my hand and I feel like the sinkhole called my life is just getting bigger and bigger.

And my screams for help are getting too soft that no one will hear them in the end.

I am trapped and the way out just looks like a locked door that will not ever open and I will be here for the rest of my life.

That feels like misery and painful and the most stupid and ignorant people just keep kicking me around for their pain is best thrown at me for they don’t want to deal with it.

So like a human punching bag I’m kicked and punched and spit at until they feel like I will break like a worn out piece of rope.

Just one more insult and I will just snap and fall to the floor and as I become nothing more than a used up rag doll.

They won’t feel sad just feel the victory of another win well deserved in their eyes.

Daily Prompt: Infect

Like a virus you infect everyone that gets close to you and you tried it with me but, I was too strong for you.

You would attack and I would defend my self and knock you out-of-the-way before the damage could truly do me any harm.

You kept trying and hoping that things would work out for you and I would let my guard down.

But, from the first time I saw you smile my way I knew you were no good and looked away before you could think it was an invitation to come my way.

It was a tiring battle to keep fighting but, I knew I couldn’t let you win for this was my life and my decision to live a life that felt right and healthy.

Dancing in the darkness only helps me to not be afraid of the things that haunt me in the shadows. 

I danced my heart out knowing there was no fear left in this place to haunt me and make me be afraid of doing the things I need to do, for only over time will I truly see how strong I am. 

My love for dance overpowers everything I ever loved and cared about because right now I’m lost in a place of peace and happiness and nothing seems to get through this joy that fills me up inside.

I know

lately things have not seem fair and maybe that’s why you’re so mad for you need more and now life is more of a struggle for you.

You want to help out but what are you really offering right now that would have you being someone we would truly stop and say wow they do so much and deserve so much more.

You want to feel sorry but you realize right now they already laid in the bed they have built for themselves.

For somewhere in their mind they have done so much and now they realize they have not done anything that could make them more noticeable but, yet they expect more to change for them.

You keep your mouth shut because you kind of know why things are not working out and you don’t eve n want to say anything because at the end of the day it is not your responsibilities to worry about what someone else may or may not end up getting.

For if you fight so much for others, who will fight for you in the end.

Because, once you miss that door it may be the last time you get such an amazing offer thrown your way.
