Trying

mywords2228

to overcome the fear of repeating the same mistake all over again just to feel something.

But, my mind knows it best to let this go and move on to better things.

So I do what is best for me and I try not to look back and wonder if you will still come around.

Life is too short to deal with the things that repeatedly make us miserable.

It’s one thing to have doubt in your life on one thing but to have it about everything, just isn’t worth it.

It’s time to shred the doubt and the past and embrace what the present has to offer for me.

I wish

mywords2228

things would change overnight.

And as I close my eyes tonight I wish with all my might that things will turn around for me.

My darkness days will be behind me and my best days will be in front of me.

My lucky will be sky high and the doubt I feel will not exist.

I will live in the moments and I won’t let anyone get in my way.

For God, you would have turned it all into light and blessing so wonderful.

You won’t complain for a long time about anything.

For that wish or that prayer will have coke true but how long it will last is something we will never know.

The joy in the air is so Contagious there is no frown Insight nothing but laughter and smiles.
It’s so peaceful and quiet I wasn’t sure what was going on at first until the planes came out and shoot across the sky with the color blue, red following behind them, what a sight it was for me.

What does

mywords2228

it take to get some responses my way.

Only so I can look out for you like you do for me.

This isn’t a one-sided friendship and as days grow long it always ends up with barely a response.

I know things get thrown all around and nothing is the same as it was before.

But, let’s not lose the ability to spend time together get in the way of having a good friendship.

Who

mywords2228

Am I

Lately, I feel so angry

Frustrated and not myself.

But instead, of redeeming myself I just brushed it off and let it go.

Am I becoming like them or am I tired of all the rotating faces around me?

Because of your choices, I’m left to pick up the pieces.

I’m more willing to give it all up than stay and keep fighting a losing battle.

It’s time to think smart and do better for it’s not about them but about me now.

I won’t follow someone who can’t lead themselves in the right direction.

I will make the best decision for me and if it falls apart oh well.

For little while everything would be okay for it will finally be great again.

Goals

mywords2228

we all have them but, that doesn’t mean that we all will accomplish them.

Sometimes there are setbacks to the goals you trying to achieve and you feel stuck in a place that may take longer to get out then you thought possible.

Goals they come and go and sometimes you achieve them and you feel so proud and happy because you did what you said you would do.

And so you aim for bigger things next time for what’s the point of making goals if you don’t live up to them.

Or at least try a little bit more to achieve them for yourself because accomplishing them for someone else sometimes makes you feel not as happy if you did it on your own or at least asked for help.

But, at the end of the day it’s for you and you only, to achieve the success you want you have to believe and get up and do it and don’t worry about how many times you fail for at least at one point ot two you will achieve it.

Trying

mywords2228

to find my way again as

I question everything I love to do.

Am I going the right way or do I do something else?

Will the final answer come to me before its too late.

And I’ve already committed to something or someone.

Week 176 of Three Line Tales

Set aim your arrows at the target of your choice, and fire away and at first, your hands are shaking.

But you get them together as you try again to hit your target and you know that everyone else is trying too.

So do not give up so quickly on what you believe you are capable of doing, for the end goal is for you to be happy with all that you said and done and this target is no different.

You

mywords2228

lift me up when no one is around and I know

the pull you have over me is more powerful than any I have ever felt before.

This connection is not one that can be set aside no matter who or what may come around.

I know the truth is coming to the light and no matter how dark things may get I know that you will always lift me into the light and shine so brightly around me.

My body and my soul are all yours and lord I know you won’t let me fall even when holding me up is just feels like too much.

For I may fight back sometimes for the light seems too bright for me to deal with and the darkness feels like something I want to welcome when I’m too exhausted to carry on and continue to deal with the things I want to avoid all together.

There

mywords2228

Is always someone looking out for you because they don’t want you to be stuck like them.

They know how it feels to be stuck in the sand.

To be walking on thin ice.

To be in a situation that doesn’t look like there is a solution to the problem.

Or at least not one you are going to like or willing to do.

They know that you are trying but they want you to speed up the progress so that you can escape to a more affordable place.

Not just cost wise but time and energy and know that this is what you could see yourself doing for the rest of your life.

So

mywords2228

So much hatred in this room right now

I want there to be peace but I think there is too much bad blood for it to improve.

I know the situation could be better but what am I to do I’ve tried to help them both but now.

It feels too late to do anything and I know things will work itself out but will it be for the best.

I just wish they would both open their eyes and see their both wrong in a way.

I feel

mywords2228

Like I want it all

and yet all I’m grasping at is air.

There seem to be no answers to my questions.

And no matter what I do I feel like I’m running out of solutions.

I’m continually running out of stuff and the truth is there is no help being thrown my way.

I feel used and left to swim or sink and right now I’m sinking.

I seem fine and tired on the outside but I’m truly drained on the inside and faking the little bit of joy to keep me going.

It’s like I’m the cat foolishly following you around because you have a fake mouse a stick.

Will, I ever give up or will I continue to let you lead me the wrong way.

Letting

mywords2228

go of the past again as I stubble a pond some old notes.

And for a second it feels as if I’m back in that moment and for a second I feel those emotions again.

And soon the note is falling to the ground and I don’t want to pick up again.

But I do and soon it is ripped up and is now in pieces and as I place them all in the trash.

It feels like I’ve been thrown back into the present and I’m feeling good for I know what’s in the past can’t get to me anymore.

For in the present I am and there is no going back for those moments have expired.

I have no desire to think of what if’s for I have moved forward in my life and where there used to be no answers and just questions.

Is now I have answers and still questions to ask but the peace that I longed for is more present than before.

TRUSTING

Gravity in this moment and hoping it won’t let me fall

but if it does I will just get back up and try again.

For it is not time to give up and move on without accomplishing the things I have started now not next week but this week.

I know that the end of the month is coming to an end soon so it is time to get a move on it and do what I know what I need to do and make the most of it too.

Wow

mywords2228

two children looking at a polar bear in a zoo

look how big he is, I didn’t think he would look this amazing up close to me but wow it’s absolutely amazing.

His so big and white to be able to see a polar bear looking so calm and the black fur under his neck with a hit of blue just makes him really pop in the blue water.

It feels like we are in a painting and missing the colors together to blend it is just so unique and unreal.
