Another

Day

Another worry

Another uncertainty

Another moment wasted overthinking about something I can’t control.

Feeling like all want to do is scream and release the anxiety the stress.

The frustration of thinking only time will tell.

But I knew along that it was going to end this way and I really don’t know why I held on for so long.

I feel free as if I had been carrying dead weight around the last couple of years.

And now I can finally stand taller and think clearer too.

It’s not about

mywords2228

The numbers or the time for so much can happen and so little at the same time.

You watch and you wait for someone to make a move that just doesn’t work.

But instead of turning away you embrace this change and make it into something more.

For you know this time may be one of your last chances to get it done and for it to be above average.

And just maybe something great.

Three Line Tales, Week 217

floating above the world and all the problems going on in the world to finally having a moment of peace and not worry sure would be nice.

Just taking the time for yourself and not worrying about what time it is and what has to be done at this time.

All you are doing is checking on this and the rest is history and when it’s time to go back down you will know you did all that you could.

Night

mywords2228

Dark

Day bright.

But all I feel and know is fading in front of me.

Like the street night that slowly goes out as the sunrises each morning.

Searching for clues that will solve what you need to know.

May turn out to be great or they may shake-up your life for good.

And once those secrets are our there is no going back to what you thought was the full truth.

Maybe

mywords2228

There is more to how things are going.

Now and maybe things will start to look up again.

So many circles you are running through with no clear sign that things will all work out.

You’re trying to make sense of things and yet you are still running around in the same hopeless circle.

Well feeling so frustrated and no one to answer too.

Maybe the answers will come to you soon only you can hope.

I needed

mywords2228

This moment to appreciate all I have and may get later.

Tired is my body and hungry is my soul.

I crave the words that come from stories and books.

I crave the sound of music and can’t wait to hear the beat.

The words that stay with me forever.

I crave the sleep that I will gain once I lay down in bed.

I appreciate the one that helps me through it all and not just for today.

I know I’m ready to be near him and to know this struggle was worth it for I am worth it.

I know

mywords2228

 Not of what awaits me today.

As it seems there are challenges that keep popping up and yet I seem hopeful.

That I will get through it all even when I know the struggle is far from being over.

My hopes to get ahead or even break even just isn’t in the cards for me.

And so I just face everything for what it is and keep moving through life as if this pace won’t always be how I’m walking on my journey.

I can

mywords2228

 Not deny that things are falling apart around me.

But I am full of hope and joy because I know I did right.

They say wish harm on Someone else and it will most likely backfire.

So I let you try to stab me in the back many times only for you to see I am not going down.

I am not getting weaker but stronger and the anger and sadness in you begins to grow.

As the peace in me stands strong and attached to a path that is still unclear but slightly focused on an end goal.

That won’t be flashy but a place that is not just a settling but a true destiny.

I feel

mywords2228

That I want to reach out and stay connected to everyone even though I know it’s not possible.

I somehow still put that stress on myself until I just don’t care.

I feel like my life is calm and yet it doesn’t feel fulfilled.

I’m lost even though I am finally in a good place.

But of course no story is going to continue on without some bumps in the road.

The urge to find the answers to why I feel this way right now is so strong.

But I just don’t have the time to deal with it or every time I have to deal with it I avoid it at all cost.

 to the point of feeling like I rather not do this again.

Not feeling like I want to even deal with it and so I stand here wondering why do I continue to deal with the same problem.

I guess unless I’m on the top there is always going to be someone to set me up.

Only time will tell how this will workout and right now I’m already ready for the day to be over.

Even if it works out I just don’t see this going the way I want it to at this point.

Sometimes

mywords2228

It’s like I’m watching a old movie as memories of my childhood flash before my eyes.

Just one word and I’m pulled into my past and sometimes it’s nice to see those memories.

And other times I’m like why did I think about that again.

But sometimes it’s a nice reminder of how far I have come and how I’m glad I can’t go back.

For living in the now has been wonderful and life changing even through the days of struggles and uncertainty’s.

Week 209 of Three Line Tales

That used to be me the kid with the nice summer job and no real worry in my life.

I just wanted a little extra cash in my pockets for when I got off work and hung out with my friends.

I knew some of my friends thought it was lame but I was grateful to have it and it was a nice change to my summer vacation and maybe I’ll come back next year.

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.

Week 207 of Three Line Tales

three line tales, week 207: a man talking to a woman looking out of a barn

at you again even though I’ve tolda you this barn is not the safest place to be but every time you laugh at me as if I am being so silly.

You have some weeds in your hand today and you kind remind  me of an old wise guy but we all know you don’t like to be called that at all.

But you still give out so much advice you think you loved being around people but in fact you just wish they all leave you alone and stay away from your precious barn and only I could come by for our talks.

to be fun playing this game now its all about competitions and trying to be better than others for your school and community.

Sometimes it makes me sad to see how focused we are on the game in front of us but not really enjoying the things that are going on around us.

I know one day things in life will be more serious so I dont want to miss out on the fun and silly things so today will be my last day playing this game for competition for I want to play it for fun with you.
