Together

we ride

Together we laugh

and sometimes we cry.

But, brothers for life we know that even

at our weakest moments we have each other back.

We have learned a lot going down this path together

For we realized that this life style isn’t for everyone.

And that as long as we talk it out and about it

no misunderstandings will happen.

Nothing can come between us

When we have put it all out on the table.

We will continue to grow and settle down with someone special some day

but I know as long as we can ride together it will continue this way.

Oh how

 you’ve given me the strength to carry on lately.

Especially with everything going on all I can think of is how you gave me a second chance at life.

At opportunities, I didn’t think we’re going to happen to me this year.

But there you were knocking down those doors I thought we’re not gonna open and here I was gonna be left alone here to truly break down.

And lose who I was and to not believe I was good enough to leave and better myself from this place.

Oh God how much I love and appreciate all that you do for me now and later on in my life.

I

want the peace to wash over me right now as the stress takes over.

Wreaking everything around me and ripping me apart little by little each day and moment that it’s around.

I don’t want to feel as if I’m not at the top of my game but, at the same time I won’t allow myself to fall apart because of other people choices in life.

I won’t reflect on the things that you decide is not important to you because we were raised different and I feel bad when I drop the ball and let people down when there is little help to begin with.

I won’t stand by feeling sad for you when all the lies you have told catches up to you and I will not be the one handling you case either.

I will not be apart of any of it as you talk on with no responds from me and in the end I will know all my hard work paid off and what you have learned from this lesson will not be my concern.

I will not become hard because of the difficult moments I’ve faced because of others for I was and am strong enough to handle them for now.

I listen to my God who has always has my back and is not two-faced and trust I do not take for grated and one I trust with my life and will always have my back.

One day the peace I once felt will last more than two days but a lifetime and when that day comes I will truly smile and enjoy my life.

It isn’t

me that is the problem and well I’m tired of being blamed for it. 

How much can one keep taking without screaming for all the ugly to go away? 

When will the good win and when will the bad of this world become a single digit. 

So many why’s and when’s that I just can’t seem to keep track of it all and so I sit here listening to a song that seems to relate to what’s going on with me or what’s going on around me. 

I don’t know how to solve the problem that I’m faced with right now, for I’ve gotten on my knees and I’ve prayed about it and I’ve waited and I’ve waited and still here I am repeating everything. 

Every day and no I have not yet given up but, I know one day I will wake up and the solution will be there and I will carry it out and maybe I won’t have to do it alone. 

But, today I stand strong and I look the worst in the eye and I tell it something that will blow it away. 

Or something that will make it right again and then the darkness around me will become a little lighter. 

One day at a time.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 51

Roll the dice and see where it will land and maybe then your life will finally take the turn you always needed it too. 

Don’t give up when things don’t go your way, keep fighting and hoping that something new will happen and change everything and maybe just maybe you will love life again. 

Roll the dice and take a chance with me and everyone else who hasn’t given up even when the results aren’t looking good for us either.

Protect

100 Word Wednesday: Week 36

We stand here to protect and serve, and sometimes our job is hard

Because some people don’t want to listen to us or some of us don’t do the right thing.

But, we here still trying our best to protect you and make sure nothing bad happens for that’s what we signed up for.

We could have choose anything as our career but we fell in love with what this job has to offer not just for us but for our family and friends.

We don’t just protect the one’s we love but, the ones that need protection more than they think they do.

The one’s that feel all alone and have no one to count on at the end of the day.

Daily Prompt: Homage

To praise him is like taking a deep breath and then jumping from a cliff

and knowing that when you fall into the water you would be safe.

He makes me feel alive and that tough days are worth it in the end and there will always be light at the end of my tunnels in my lifetime.

I find myself  more and more each day when I listen to the music that praises you.

Who are you they ask?

You are my God, you are my father, my protector, my healer, my biggest supporter, and my life saver.

You are the reason I keep writing and the reason I keep going when life gets tough because without you the demons in my life would win and I wouldn’t be who I am today.

My past would still haunt me night and day and there would be no escape for me, no outlet to pour all those fears and pain into.

I wouldn’t be as strong as I am today without your strength, without your love because your love is greater than any love this world could ever offer me.

I praise you today and for the rest of my life and no one not even the devil can tear me away from you because nothing can ever have a hold on me like you do.

When I find

my way hopefully things will not be the same for I need to smell the fresh air and let my hair down.

I need to not worry so much about the unknown and to just feel free

I want to smile more than I seem to be frowning lately because there is so much

that seems to driving me insane and no amount of rest helps.

When I find the answers to the questions I need to know, will I understand and will I be ready for them.

I guess only time will tell but, lately it seems like I’m searching for it all and no matter how hard I try nothing seems to be that clear.

I wonder if I should just give up and just let it all come to me when the time is right  or maybe I don’t have the patience to wait that long.

Or maybe I can just trust it will all work out and just maybe it will.

Happy New Year’s

As New year’s eve ends , I realize I’m sad to see 2016 go but so excited to see what 2017 has to offer me.

I’m excited for the direction my life is going and my writing and I know I have nothing to worry about next year.

Because whatever happens I will embrace it all with open arms and enjoy the roller coaster I have to go on to get to the side I belong on.

Letting it all go and letting God take care of me and my life has been the best decision I have ever made.

My baggage is no longer suffocating me and I am free to walk away from the past with no string attached.

I’m light with nothing weighing me down as I walk through life with so much hope and faith and determine that it will all work out for me.

 

Happy Year’s everyone, I hope 2017 brings you so much hope and blessings that 2016 didn’t.

I know that WordPress community surely blessed me in 2016.

I know nothing but great writing is coming my way and my fellow bloggers.

This Year we will continue to inspire each other and support each other. Our work will touch many hearts and bring the joy someone may be looking for.

Thank you for following me and reading my work!

Daily Prompt: Trust

I trusted you and as all the things I told you pour out your mouth to someone else.

I break into millions of  pieces of glass and I almost wish those pieces could cut into you.

And you can feel my pain and I fall to my knees no longer having the strength to look you in the eye without letting all out.

A scream/ yell so loud that glass would break and anyone near By would drop to their knees and cover their eyes and hope it would end soon.

And it will end with me walking away stronger than I thought was possible for me.

However, you will walk away like a dog with his tail between his legs and the shame will hunt you for life.

Trust me hurting me is worst than you could possibly  imagine.
