Daily Prompt: Patience

Everyday my patience is tested and right now I can honesty say someone days I know that I lose and they win.

But, more than likely they lose and the temper comes out and the nasty words come flying out their mouth.

And they try to hit you well you’re not looking for they want to break you and they want you to give them what they want.

But, the truth is you have had a enough and now as the words come pouring out of their mouth you just ignore it until it goes away.

And as  their empty threats are thrown at you, you just want to tell them you just don’t care and they can go stuff all their negative shit where the sun don’t shine.

But, in the end you just stay quiet and you let them walk away and you just move on to the next person who is just waiting to get what they need next.

The cycle repeats its self almost daily and you just have to have patience during the long period of times when you feel like you are being hit from all sides with no end.

You want to crumble and let it just smash you into non-existent but, you realize that you too deserve better and you too are human and just work for the man.

The frustration shouldn’t be pointed at you but, you are present and so you become the victim and the target for whoever wants you to be right now.

So patience is all you can have because in the end, it doesn’t matter how many ways you explain something someone who wants to be right all the time is not going to hear you.

So be the bigger person and act quick because if you don’t end it now it will go on and on until you get sucked up in the mix of crazy.

And trust me this crazy is not the crazy you want a point of now or ever.

Around

you I just feel like there is no care in the world.

And, I’m grateful that I get these moments when I feel nothing but peace.

The thoughts of anger and sadness just aren’t around when you are so near to me.

I feel like I’m alive again and the things that have been thrown at me just aren’t as big as I thought or felt they were.

With your words and love I am free from the chains that hold me to my sorrow, today the sun shines down and all I think of is that is you warming me with your love.

I don’t doubt you but, sometimes I doubt myself because the pressure is on me now then it was before and I’m trying my best most of the time.

I feel like I’ve lost my mind and become the mad hater and nothing that is coming out my mouth now is making any sense.

I try  to focus but, it’s hard when everything is being thrown at me from so many directions.

I catch somethings and well others I miss and I try to do my best not to overstressed but it all becomes too much at the end of the day.

Daily Prompt: Blink

In a blink of an eye things can turn from good to bad.

In a blink of an eye the dream job you wanted to have as a child could come true and you could be living the life you always wanted.

In a blink of an eye the things that you thought really matter doesn’t matter anymore for you found out the truth.

In a blink of an eye the person that was so sweet and kind to you could turn so bitter and rude.

In a blink of an eye everything that was always the same yesterday could be totally different the next day or week.

In a blink of an eye you could be gone

In a blink of an eye you could make a difference for someone who thought that life just couldn’t get any better for them.

In a blink of an eye you could change it all but, the real question is would you want to?

Talking to you

mywords2228

always is worth the wait, I know we don’t talk as much anymore and I don’t know how you feel about that. 

But, life is throwing so much at both of us that the time when we could probably talk just doesn’t happen for we both end up just being too tired. 

So days have gone by and maybe even weeks and months and then one day it just seems like a good time to say hi and it always never seems like time has gone by. 

We just pick up where we left off and talk and talk until we have nothing left to say until next time when ever that may be. 

Time doesn’t really stop me from not caring and the feeling of not being there for you always doesn’t sit right with me but, I know that life is pulling us both in two different directions. 

SO it’s hard to but the certain that when something big happens you are always the first to know and even over tired you always seems to make just a little bit of time seem like hours. 

The memories and the moments yet to come are the things that I look forward too as this year comes to an end and a new one is yet to begin.

Daily Prompt: Meager

Even though it seemed to be the most wonderful time of the year from some 

the countdown to the Christmas wasn’t really something she worried about for it just another big and wonderful day for everyone else. 

But, for her this time of year was slowly miserable and no joy really came her way 

it always seemed just when her luck would go up something bad would happen and the hope that started to grow inside of her.

Quickly burned out and there was nothing left to see or feel, with no one around to help her find her way back to that hope. 

She didn’t look at the world the way she used too and everyone around her was too busy trying to hold on to the hope they had that they didn’t even notice the difference in her.

How many poems

mywords2228

do I need to write to get your attention

for I don’t know how much creativity is left in me right now.

I may have to take a break and come back to write something that will finally catch your eye.

I’m trying to be who you need me to be right now but, how can I be when the hope and magic that once put a fire under me that burned to strong.

Nothing could stop me from writing for my fingers just needed to type or write on a piece of paper.

And now the thoughts don’t come out or my fingers just don’t feel inspired anymore and even when I do write something good the flow just doesn’t continue on.

It ends with that piece and the next time I think of writing it just feels like I’m poking at a fire that has been gone out in the hopes that it will start-up again.

And the writing and the feeling inside of me will feel the same again and all my work and hopes won’t be so discouraged.

But, every time things slow do that feeling of dread comes over me and I just can’t seem to go on but yet I sit here knowing I’m beyond tired but yet my body and soul has yet to give up even when I know it’s time for me to move forward.

It’s time for me to finally rest my eyes and sleep a little longer for its time to stop fighting and just give up.

The tears will stop falling and I will slowly become strong and closed off again but, right the feeling of being alone doesn’t bother me as much as it used too.

You see

my body is getting so weak and it’s telling me now to help it grow so strong.

Or one day I won’t be able to get back up as fast as I do now

Oh how I hate the aches and just want to get in shape.

I’m far from being young but not close to being too old

So many before me warn me to do better, to be better for the time is moving so fast and you never know when your time is up.

Maybe you will last a long time and maybe you just make it long enough to outlast everyone around you.

And you will be so sad for you surly do miss them and just want to celebrate with them all even if it’s just one more time.

You will take your time and cherish every second, minute, hour, and week and so much more until it’s all over for you too.

I

don’t want to lose myself in you but as I stand here in this doorway

I don’t want to be alone anymore and I don’t want to waste anymore time when it comes to you.

I know that the timing can’t be the best but I’ve just don’t want to think about it anymore, because I’m not afraid anymore.

I just want to risk it all and stand in front of you as the only person that won’t leave you when it gets tough and to not turn on you when your being a real jerk.

I want to let all my words wash over you and save you and see the man I know you can be and for you to walk with your head up high and be a real badass for you know who you are and what you are capable of doing.

I don’t you to doubt yourself for one more second, for I know that your good with a lot of darkness but it doesn’t make you less worthy of the love I’m willing to offer you now and forever.

But, only time will tell if I will wake up and get off my feet and go to you and tell you the truth because over time these feelings go away when I push them down only for them to come back stronger than  before.

I don’t know what more I can do to stay away, when it’s just making me miserable and tired as I run myself in circles about what if this turns out great.

Or what if this ruins everything or it changes nothing and then what do I do with these feelings on my own.

Joyful

Thinking about you brings so much joy to me that I wonder is something really happening between us, as I look deeply into your eyes I begin to see it all play out in front of me.

As I hear the beating of my heart match the beating of your heart, I realize we only have this time together.

Before life rips us apart and our time split in so many ways it will be a miracle if we see each other again.

But, even apart my thoughts always lead back to you and when time gives me a break I’m there for you and I always lose track of time after that.

But, I know no second or minute, or hour is wasted when it’s spent on helping you.

Daily Prompt: Infinite

mywords2228

The desire to have infinite amount of time to create great memories would be great.

To have infinite amount of hugs, kisses.

Infinite is something we know we don’t get for our timing is only limited to the time we have been granted.

We never know when the end would be, and so we spend as much time as we can doing the things we love and spending it with the people we care about.

But, will it ever be enough for some of us as days go by and we don’t seem to be able to spend the time we want with each other.

An infinite amount of time may help us all but would it end up being too much time for some.

Your lack of words

mywords2228

To me eat at my soul

day and night to the point

I don’t know what to say to you.

And I know the moments I look at you,

My eyes no longer reflect happiness, just sadness  and when I’m about to say something.

Just one look from you shuts me down and my walls go up again and I’m no longer see the person I once thought I knew.

That lay out a perfect poem

won’t come to me as Writer-block strikes again.

My lack of creativity drains my hope of writing out some worthy to me.

Time goes by so fast and nothing comes to me, words you have vanished from my mind and my lips.

As I sit in silently by myself finding no inspiration from anything.

The wind blows so hard outside that as it blows around me everything I wanted to say is ripped right from me.

I try with all my might to get those words back by the wind is so strong I can’t seem to find the strength to go on.

So I run inside to the warmth my body and mind needs but, still the words don’t come to me.

Wordless and the fear of not being able to find something to say is strong.

I just need a couple of words to start me off and then I hope I never run out of words again.

The Remaining

moments of my day

is it thought out about all the things I didn’t

get to do today.

Or is it looking back on all the great things I got to

enjoy, and everything else can wait for tomorrow to be done

or explored.

The time that remains in this day I want to treasure it and

put in my box of memories.

I want to be grateful that I still have

remaining time to enjoy with whoever I choose or just with myself.

times I wanted to say something to you

but yet I’m still here with it all inside my head.

Life goes on and still I think of that time I wanted

to tell you something.

But now the time has past and I’d take back all the chances

I had and would go ahead and tell you the truth and maybe then

the thought of you wouldn’t be filled with some guilt of the words

You will never hear from me.

Daily Prompt: Borrowed

I’m on borrowed time with you

Not a minute goes by that I don’t

Treasure our moments together.

But soon I fear the time will run

Out before I  have yet to say all I have

to say.

Maybe I can borrow a little more time

Before it all runs out and things are left

Without the closure it deserves.
