Your presents

 Carries me through the hardest moments of my day.

And makes me feel like I don’t have to take everything to heart.

Your presents hypes me up and so when the storm looks bad, I know no matter what I will still come out on the other side.

No more doubt when I feel your presents for I know I can do so much more when you are around.

I know I can make it work in the end because I know you will believe in me no matter what I do or say.

For you will always forgive me and you will never forget me.

Today will be great because of you and the possibility of tomorrow will be because of you too.

Oh it’s

so cold outside

that it feels like

I could become a popsicle soon and I know I won’t be something quite sweet enough.

The air is blowing through me as my body starts to warm up and all I want to do is go back inside and not worry about what is to come.

I just want to fade into the background and not worry about the things that feel out my control for I know I am capable of doing what has to be done.

The answer to this is easy and yet no one sees it and so it’s just a circle we all keep running around in because we hope things would get better.

So many want others to do the work and when the results aren’t the way they want them to go who and how can they blame the first person.

When they have had the opportunity to get it all done on their own, but no one is willing to stand up and do what has to be done because the storm won’t go away if we pretend this is the way it is supposed to be.

I want

to feel the cold wind blowing around me as I get cold but not too cold.

As I look around and see the snow that fell just yesterday start to melt away like my problems from yesterday.

I Stand and I move to keep the warmth inside until it is my time to go back inside for I know the tough times are not yet behind me.

And I know that I am strong but how strong when it just feels like someone is lifting me up just to slam me back down.

As if my injuries and feelings don’t matter anymore and I am replaceable.

I quite

Wish I could escape from this place and that they would forget me.

I know I’m nice and good at what I do but there comes a moment in my life when I just can’t do it anymore.

I feel myself slipping and even as the new year as arrive it is the same things still coming my way.

I may be happy and excited outside of this place but as they keep knocking at my walls of protection.

I feel the slipping down and the so called support for me is no where to be seen at this point.

And so I say forget it and move on for I know it’s not worth complaining about because it’s like talking to a brick wall who can’t seem to help himself at this point.

Not in

mood for cheer as Christmas is gone and the days are slowly unwinding  down from 2019 and slowly but surely towards 2020.

I know I should still be happy as there is still some Christmas movies and sweets left for me to eat and to enjoy.

I still have books to read and weather to stay out of for it is quite cold this year and right now I rather be sleeping and not dealing with the stupidity of someone else.

I am not a child anymore and to be in charge of my life right now seems great even though I know I’m not fully in charge but I know that I have some control of things and yet you want to try to cut me down and just think I will just fall back and do the same stuff all over again.

Would mean you are  the fool I’ve been trying to avoid and right now I’ve lost my voice and have nothing left to say and nothing left to for I know I’m not meant to have been here this long anyways.

after Christmas and this little guy is something no one wants to see at anytime of the year.

He may look a little cute and small but he is not the one anyone wants to play with useless this little guy is your pet and at this point he still needs to go.

His on my favorite blanket and I’m afraid to move for he looks like his about to jump so please grab him while you can and I’d like a new blanket please too for when you take him away you can have the blanket too.

I know

 That every moment I get with you is lucky and special in its own way.

I know that these days things are different but I am grateful for the time you give me to just cuddle and play together.

You are my dog and even though I share you with others I know our bond is different and true.

My little fur baby not much a baby anymore as you just turned seven this year and yet it hasn’t slowed you down yet.

Still you have your full on smile and whines and barks and the excitement of seeing your love ones is still so strong like your loyalty.

Never wanting to leave anyone behind as you bark your way into everyone’s heart today and tomorrow.

Forever in my heart and my family as we hope you stay with us for many years to come for without you the light in our lives would not shine as bright.

To many more memories and joys as we spend time together and I hope to capture them all too.

Week 203 of Three Line Tales

another week of getting attacked by the people you thought would understand this difficult situation but no they are quickly taking bites at you as they come and go. 

Leaving you more frustrated as it is and you have had just about enough of this crap at this point that you are just a second away of going off.

You just smile for your next opponent and hope that you come out on top from this battle your about to face because you know it is all about to go down and you are not going down with this ship.

The mess

is all around me and I realize that I’m not getting enough time to breathe

and so the stress is becoming too much and I just can’t handle it anymore.

I don’t want to go back but I do everyday and there is just always one or two people who cause a scene and it’s like your doing your best.

But you go home and when the calm of the storm has finally around you, you break down because you have had to be so strong all day long and you can’t take it anymore.

You have cracker and nothing is going to help except for going to sleep for all your troubles of the day melt away when you put your head on that pillow and sleep the pain away.

Every year

for Christmas a new ornament goes on the true to old to those that are old and full of memories.

As we start to share the new ones we have received for the year.

For Christmas is a great time of year to gather with the ones you love and just really enjoy some time together.

To not stress out about things that don’t matter and just decorate and drink something sweet and eat something sweet too.

And take the  time to start thinking about what you will do next year .

For once Christmas is over it’s only a few days later that the year is over and all those things that happened will be gone and all the new things will be happening before you know.

And having a plan sometimes is helpful but we never know when our time is up and to be able to do what we want now goes a long way in the end.

Of what you have planned and then for what God has in store for you at the end of the day.

Happy Thanksgiving

Everyone I hope you get to enjoy your day whether you are off or have to work.

And hopefully, the weather will be nice it was really windy here last night but I’m hoping to sit back and be able to relax.

For I know black Friday I will be at it again with no hope or luck insight.

I’m Done

trying to be more for you and less for me.

I’m done putting you first and letting myself go

for I am just as important or even more.

At the end of the day I know who I am and what I  am capable of, but do you?

I know that life is short and it’s my time to do new things and see new people

for being stuck in this little box where I let in some people here and there is not enough for me anymore.

I know that sometimes things have been difficult and the struggle has and will be still there but, those moments when you can stop  and smile and appreciate the things that are going right are what I live for.

And the reason I haven’t given up and thrown in the towel already, for I know there has to balance and sometimes the dark out weights the light for maybe a moment too long.

But the light always wakes you up in the morning and the dark runs along for what you dont see yet will come out and the outcome will be good and maybe possibly great too.

Music from

the past sometimes is the best for there may be this sound that you don’t hear today in the things that you like now.

To hear a song that was before my time or a childhood favorite just brings back some great memories and makes me think of how far music has come and that no matter how much time passes by the hits will always be around.

Music isn’t just something that is around it’s life changing and just something that I crave not just for today but always and it just lifts me up another level in my life.

Music from the past!

I’ve been on

on this path for way too long.

The journey to dealing with the same stuff all over again and again.

Could make even the nicest person a little bitter or maybe a lot.

For in the path you see so much and experience just as much but, when you walk out of the path you have been on for too long.

Is it joy you are feeling or just peace of knowing you don’t have to go back down that dark and dull path again.

Will the next path be any different you wonder on this fall day as the year slowly comes to a end.

This will

mywords2228

 Be the last time I believe in you

As I go about my day.

I won’t look for signs of giving you a second chance.

I just will let this door be closed for good and move on with myself.

For I’ve been told I deserve so much more and right now it’s time to move forward and believe them who have stayed through my many storms.

Silent I will not be anymore and I know you won’t like that as you want to be in charge.
