I’m

going to make you see the real me.

For I don’t want you to miss out on anything that makes me who I am.

I know the days are long and I’m not around as much as you want me to be.

But, don’t think twice that I’m not fighting to keep you around and for us to be on the same page.

You are my sun that wakes me up in the morning and the light that always makes me smile.

I am at one and at peace when I am with you or just thinking of you.

I know that there were missing pieces from my life before you but, now I am not alone in my head or in my heart.

For you I embrace the little darkness I have to face just to get a chance to see you my light, my hope, my truth.

You are

my everything 

my greatest moments 

worth the time it takes to get ready. 

You are the realize I don’t give up 

and I choose to continue on even when the struggle keeps going on and on. 

I have faith that you will deliver me through it all and when I come out on the other side things will be better. 

I accept who I am and love myself for all that I am and all that I will become soon.

In this

Moment I had this feeling of overcoming everything that was holding me back.

No more feeling of how much more can I take before o break.

The truth is they broke me a long time go and now nothing feels the same.

Until, today when all that hard work that played off and all the stress that came with it was lifted off my shoulder.

My breathing was calmer and my body was no longer tense.

My life was in my hands again and this time I knew I was going to become strong again.

Fall

You have arrived but I have yet the time to enjoy you.

i remember the days when  I would play outside and enjoy our time together.

How I would swing on that old tire swing with no care in the world.

Just lost in my thoughts with nowhere to go.

Just enjoying the weather and this moment where I’m free to breathe and truly know this day will be a good one.

Oh Fall don’t go by so quickly now for I would love to enjoy you just a little more.

Let

me tell you about how it feels to be trapped.

You know that better days will come but you are in this box

and you want to fight your way out.

But the chance that its going to workout for you in the end

is so small that the hope in inside you is not even a thought.

You want to smile and know that the day of escaping is coming but,

the time seems to be running out for you and you just don’t see the possibility of you getting out in time.

You want to be bitter and angry but you don’t want to live your life feeling like negativity is all you can breathe in and out.

You want to live in the dark tonight or tomorrow.

You want to stand still and move enough until you know that you have accomplished the impossible and can smile at that accomplishment at the end of the day.

Knowing that the things of tomorrow will come and if it turns out great than you will smile and when it turns sour like bad milk you will get up and shake off the things that you can’t control.

And keep doing your best for this life is rough but you are one touch cookie and things will workout in the end for you.

Under the sea

where  colorful fish swim and people on vacation like to explore and see so many beautiful things.

They begin to forget about their troubles and focus on the things that are small and they don’t think much about.

For the ocean will always be there and the can come and visit when they have the time and the things above the world just distract them for just have a moment to take it the wonders and new things that appear in the ocean over night.

so smile and enjoy it.

Time

Time goes by fast sometimes but, as a child I loved to read and learn new words in each page that I turned. 

Reading wasn’t something I loved to do but, not you can’t find without a book or kindle or phone in my hand reading something. 

I am old now but, my adventures are not over as I travel between each page that I read and I am lost to the world when I read. 

I love to lose myself and am very grateful for the time I have to read.

Frozen

in this spot.

Not just any spot

the same spot I get lost in everyday.

I try to shake myself from this hold on me

but, each day it keeps grabbing me harder and longer.

I don’t want to be stuck in this space for much  longer for it feels like

everything that once was so bright is so dull and unwanted now.

If only

you could save some time in your pocket and store it for later.

When you just need a little quite time to a very long day.

You’re tired of solving everyone else problems and not your own because you just don’t have time for yourself.

You try to find the answers to what would this moment be life if I just had more time to appreciate it and really savor it for all the things it could offer me.

You beg for more time just to find your way out of this endless path that doesn’t look like its ended up with the answers you really wanted.

You want to feel the pull that this is the right thing to do and smile because you are having the time of your life right now.

You want to feel like every question that is in your mind has a point and needs to be answered and right now is the time to seek them.

If only you saw yourself the way I see you and if only you truly believed you were doing your best at the end of the day.

You

had so much to look forward too and maybe you had it all planned out.

But, the day you prepared to walk across that stage felt like the day you had been waiting for.

You were excited and just extreme ready for this day to hurry up for you were just so ready to get it over with.

Soon it ended and the next day was a new journey for you and one that would go in a direction you never thought it would.

The struggle that became your life was overwhelming and not ending anytime soon.

You tried it all to just keep yourself together during this difficult and dark time, It was long and then the light truly shined down on you and things started to look up for you.

But, you became so busy that the little things in life seem not to be as important to you or you just didn’t have the time to enjoy them.

You wanted so bad to just have a moment of peace because you were tired of it all and no matter the little time you got off the state of your mind and body and soul were already ruined and damaged.

You still try to fix the damage that has been done because you just want to be at peace again and to just feel happy for more than two days at a time.

A little lost

mywords2228

for words these days when everything starts to feel like it’s blending all together and you just aren’t spending your time wisely.

You feel like you want to do much more with what you have been offered but, because of the situation life seems to be going in you just don’t get to enjoy it as much.

You want to say more but, you’re so far from feeling like yourself that nothing seems to be helping you get out of this place where you are stuck.

Feeling like you have lost your way and this life you seem to not enjoy so much isn’t helping you find yourself or helping do much at all but feel empty at the end of the day.

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.

Just

when I thought things were starting to look up

the storm hits hard and I just can’t stand up to this anymore.

I fall short and the answers just don’t show up in time for me

and I know things will come to play but life right now just don’t seem so real

when you are getting  up but the force knocks you down just for someone to blame you when things are not going their way.

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.

Hopeful

mywords2228

that these stressful moments are just temporary for my mind cannot think straight and when the happens everything begins to fall apart.

The circus around me does not crease and the people demanding that the show does go on is not the ones that are trying to keep afloat in the end.

No one seems to want to care or they just don’t have the patience to wait but the truth is I don’t care anymore and I have given up on things changing.

I have to change in order for this to be clearer through their eyes, not mine, for I’m not the problem and maybe sometimes it’s not them either.

But, there are so many people involved with the whole thing that there is not just one finger to point out when it all comes down to the end.

Maybe things will get better but, I just don’t see that happen with me being around and so I’m removing myself from the equation that is always negative.

The positive solution is walking away and giving up on something that is already dead and there is no beating life back into it.

Hopeful to get away and not look back is something I look forward to one day or week or month but in the end, I will not look back and soon all the trouble will be forgotten.
