Caught up

in the moment with you feels like a lifetime ago.

Now I’m caught up in everything going on around me and I start to wonder why do I even care about the things that don’t concern me.

But, the attitude that you give before I even open my mouth makes me feel like what has the world come to that you just be rude for no reason.

You come storming in with you attitude for who knows why but, the truth is I don’t care for well I’m just trying to do my job and my patience well it’s limited.

But, when it runs out the things that I want to say I keep it to myself because being mean and rude just well it’s not appreciated or appropriate.

I don’t need or want to get caught up in your nastiness for well life is just too short for all that attitude you got going on over there.

I just ain’t got time for the attitude the anger and anything else you want to throw at me for well I just don’t care enough to be caught up in a fight that is not worth fighting at the end of the day.

Like yesterday I can’t remember who pissed off who but if I saw your face I would remember who you are and I will let yesterday go but, I hope today you’re in a better mood.

Daily Prompt: Carve

Carve me out and you will see the true me hiding below all the things I’ve piled up on top to protect myself from all the things that are thrown my way daily. 

I try to not let the evil spill into my life and turn what good I have left into something ugly. 

Carve me up and maybe you will finally see all the things you never seems to have the time for when it comes to me. 

Carve me up and maybe you will see all the pain I tucked away because I too didn’t want to deal with it anymore. 

Carve me up and you will finally see and hear the truth I longed to tell you if only you had the time to hear it out.

Daily Prompt: Cozy

I wrap up in a cozy blanket and get lost in a book or movie and not think about going back to work.

I want to relax a little more and not worry about having to work and spend time on my feet.

I’ve enjoyed my time away but reality is setting in and right now I rather just enjoy my quiet before the storm comes.

My cozy times are coming to an end soon and I’m going to miss not having to rush off to work.

But, with this cold weather coming this way I realize more cozy time was definitely in my cards and days off will come now and then for me.

Daily Prompt: Confess

I want to confess everything that I’ve been dying to tell you the last couple of days

but, you are nowhere to be found.

I’ve looked for you high and low and no result or clue was left for me to find and I start to wonder if you were avoiding me.

I know that my confession will be a big one and it will take time for you to really let it sink in.

I know the time we will have together will be sweet and calm and once it is all out there is no going back.

It didn’t know that you had something to tell me too and you were just so nervous that you had to take a couple of days to get yourself together.

Once we came together and told each other what was on our chest we both were relieved and from there things started to truly look up for us together and as individuals.

I’m Hiding

because the words I know you about to say just aren’t what I want to hear right now  and so I have to go before you can finish saying it all to me.

You call and I ignore out of fear that the words that will be said won’t be so joyful this time of year.

And I just can’t bear not being in a good mood right now, so please just let me be right now and if what you have to say is not nice or good.

Can’t you just wait to say them because I just don’t want to deal with them right now, I want to stay on my hill of happiness.

I don’t want to slide down and be at the bottom and hear the cruel words pour out of your mouth after such a long day.

But, I know that I can’t hide forever and I need to listen to what you have to say so that I can accept it and move on.

I’m not sure what that is coming towards me but, I can’t seem to run away right now even if I feel that would be the best thing to do.

I want to be brave  and stand my guard but, I feel like the outcome of this moment may not be a good thing for me.

But, if I don’t take the risk I may not ever know the outcome so here goes nothing, I just hope I come out of this alive.

It’s that time of year when I decide to do arts and craft for the holiday gives and to make my wooded pieces look so good with semi-gloss finish.

The little wooden lady I made for you this year I know you will love it as much as the heart I gave you last year.

Each year I ask you what you want and every year you say anything you give me I will love and cherish for the rest of my life.

The fact that you appreciate everything I give you hand-made you love it for I always seem to know just what you need to get you through the tough days.

The view from the canyon was breath taking this morning and I just could have stayed out all morning but it was too cold.

I know soon it will all freeze up and be covered by snow and ice and even then the beauty will still be there.

Taking a walk back here every morning always makes the start of my day so much greater than when I don’t get out and see something beautiful first thing in the morning.

My mood always stays up even when the most unpleasant people come around.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 47

Why is it that every time we go on vacation that I’m planning everything and trying make the trip fun.

And while I’m doing all the work what are you doing?

Taking selfies and not new and unique ones just the same old pose as every pic I see on your Facebook .

For once I just wish you would take the time to enjoy everything that is going on around you and just put your phone down and live a little.

For sometimes these moments only happen once in a life time.

Daily Prompt: Gremlins

It was like every other day of her life but today was the day that he decided to have a problem with her at work.

She tried to get to the bottom of why he had such a nasty attitude towards her but he said the problem he felt could not be easily be explained with her words and so he decided his actions would be better.

But, the way he was acting didn’t explain anything to her other than maybe he needed a couple of days off for the stress of the job was slowly getting to him now that the holidays were right around the corner.

I come over to your house for a meal and I still you running around and everywhere I look I see dirty pans.

And all the food you have cooked look so good but, I know you will be tired later and decide to help you clean up well the rest of the guest sit around and chat.

As you finish up you notice there isn’t one single pot left dirty and you smile at me and I see how grateful you are and I hug you and thank you for the meal we’re about to eat.

It’s cold out here today but, I just needed a moment to myself and standing out in front of the ocean just always calms me. 

My life lately seems like the rough tides that are coming in and no matter how much I try to deal with everything and try to be the bigger person some how it always comes back to knock me down. 

I can’t let you drag me down and around like those rough waves would do if I try to go out there right now. I won’t be ignored and knocked down when I  decide to stand up for myself and live a calmer path.

Daily Prompt: Gingerly

She had to be gingerly as she walked up the stairs so late after a long night at work.

she was just glad to getting to bed for she just didn’t think her body could go any farther on the amount of energy she had been using  up the last couple of days.

She had to be quiet as she came through the door for her roommate was probably already asleep.

She couldn’t remember a night that she wasn’t so exhausted that she didn’t remember when she fell asleep.

She just got ready for bed and soon was passed out and in the morning she would be well rested but the long days of work would soon rob her of her energy.

Days off became shorter and work became longer and she just wanted to breath without being at the same place over and over again.

Even though she liked her job she needed time away from all the stress.

Daily Prompt: Simmer

The water seems to slowly simmer as she waits for it to boil

so she can put in the rest of the food that will complete her meal.

But her patience is really low with a long day at work, she tries to will the water to speed up for she was getting more sleepy by the minute.

She need to eat and then head to bed and he was demanding and all she wanted was a good night of sleep and no stress because she had a lot on the table and she just didn’t know if she could get it done.

The water was not bubbling up enough for her to add the noodles, she wished it didn’t take this long to boil water.

And then she notices she never turned it up and it was all her fault and now she was going to be able to just relax and not stress.
