Daily Prompt: Faceless

Your voice is all I remember that day for it was too dark to see your face, the words you said to me.

Didn’t just help me that day they have been words that motivate me every day to do better to be better and, to not let the ugly of this world bring me down.

Because, yes I am different but that is not something I need to be afraid of or to hate because that makes me stand out more.

But, to be proud of who I am and to accept that one day someone else will see what you saw in me that day.

I don’t know who you were or where you went but, I just want to say thank you for taking the time to hear what I had to say and for giving me the best advice I have ever received.

Daily Prompt: Foreign

Sometimes I wonder what’s going on in some people mind because the simple words seem foreign to them. 

And they’re not hard to understand either, so I sit there repeating myself feeling like I’m not speaking English. 

I feel like some brains are being wasted and when the mind is something you are taking for granted then what will the world become. 

You have to slow down and think about things sometimes but, if you are not thinking about anything then the simple things like how may I help you begin to sound foreign to you. 

Life becomes so much harder and that mind that could have been used and put to good use is wasting away in your head and you see nothing wrong with that at this point because you are way past saving at this point.

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.

For

I have forgotten all that have been around me when times were rough

as I live in the moments that are good.

But, soon the darkness comes back and I am faced with the truth  did I let all that was good just walk away because I was being ungrateful to them.

Time has gone by and I just don’t know how much time has gone by that I’ve reached out and talked to you.

Life just keeps moving forward and all I want to do is just not be so tired from trying to do more than I am capable of doing.

No moment of rest just filling and filling and yet there is no end to the mess that we are in and the light that shined in at first now is just a spot in the corner.

You begin to wonder how long did I walk around in the dark ignoring the light that was trying to guide me home.

Because I thought I knew what was best for me and the path that I am on just doesn’t feel right anymore or maybe it never did but there was something good on the path so the stress and pain wasn’t so bad.

For that someone was taking all the hits and nothing was getting through to me but now that something is saying it is time to step off the road that is leading you no where good.

It’s time to listen to me and follow me from the hell you are living in and come into the light where nothing bad can touch you unless that thing was meant to show you the way to a better place.

To feel this overwhelming love and peace and to know that someone is always watching your back even when you feel you  have come and delivered.

But, your life purpose is not yet over and it’s time to take a walk down a new path now and I hope you are ready.

HOW

mywords2228

can I feel like saying goodbye when I don’t want to say anything at all.

The words that you deserve to hear are all locked up inside of me and no matter how hard I fight to say the things you need to hear.

The words just won’t come and maybe there is something wrong with me but, I seem to have lost my voice.

And so I sit here writing it all out and well I don’t want you to feel like I  taking the coward way out.

But, every time I try to talk to you the words just get stuck in my mouth that I just nod and move on.

Every step I take to give you this letter feels like I’m walking through concrete and soon I will get stuck with no way out.

The solution seems so simple but now it has become so complicated that there just really isn’t enough time to stop and walk away from the mess I’ve made.

So here I go leaving it on your desk as I walk away and I don’t look back but, I hear you tearing it apart and I speed up my steps and then I walk so fast out there door.

I’m running down the stairs as I head to my car trying to get out of this place as fast as I got in it.

Not

trying to be rude but, I just need to tell you the truth right now for I just can’t hold my tongue anymore. 

This is not working out for me and as I smile in your face well I truly die more inside than anything I’ve ever faced in my life. 

You are the bad to my good and I no longer want to be apart of your wrong. 

I feel so strong but, to be truthful I am a mess as I walk through these doors and I come undone because you are my worst nightmare. 

There is not one nice thing I can say about you right now and so I will let you have it all because well that’s just how I am now. 

I don’t have a care in the world that well I’m hurting your feelings but, the pain you have put me through just overrides the kindness in my heart and I just can’t stand to be weak anymore. 

I will be strong and I will stand strong and I won’t back down even if the outcome is not good. 

For I’ve not felt this so alive in over a year now and well I’m done and I just don’t know how to say my goodbye even though I happy that it will end soon. 

The tears that I’ve been holding back well they are flowing down my face faster than I can handle but I know this end is something that had to happen. 

I hope you accept my goodbye and as we both move on, I hope nothing but the best for you. 

But, I won’t be your fool anymore.

time I feel like I’m running out of the energy that keeps me going and I know my limit is coming near.

But, who are I to say something when there is no way out of this for I am forever stuck until I walk away completely.

My sanity will most likely not be still attached when I walk away and somehow I have to accept that because well were all a little crazy at times. 

The way I see people have well already changed and sometimes my reaction is negative when it should be positive.

I don’t want to become what they are rude and impatience, I want to continue showering the world with love and respect with a little bit of my guard up.

For you can’t always trust the people you show your kindness too but you can hope that you changed them just a little bit with a visit from you.

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.

Where do I

go from here

I feel like I’m stuck and yet at the same time 

I’m working so hard to move forward and enjoy the moments that I get to enjoy. 

Even though lately these moments feel so little and barely complete moments of silent. 

My mind seems to always be racing as everything around me is speeding up and no time to slow down when so many people are demanding attention. 

The feeling of wanting to hide away is so strong that I just don’t know what to do because right now the gas that is running through me slowly feels like it is about to run out. 

And being on empty is not a good thing and will end up with things turning out worst than it already is.

Holding on

mywords2228

to just the hope that you will guide me out of this hell

that you will help me find my way again.

For the darkness of today will not be the darkness of tomorrow

the words flowing from you mouth will not be forgotten today and tomorrow I will still ponder over them.

Holding on for your strength, your love, your protection my lord for no one can provide that for me than you.

You get me through the things that make me want to pull my hair out

You’re the one that makes me stop and think before I say something I may regret

The reason my patience isn’t as thin as it used to be, the reason my truth is out there for all eyes to see.

The reason I am always on alert mode, watching the actions of others and making sure I’m not following in their footsteps.

You’re the reason I breathe another day and wake up being grateful for the people in my life.

The reason I am as quiet as I am for my voice should only be used to cause good and not bring more bad into the world.

I know I am not perfect and that no one is and each day we all go through something and at times we want to be in their shoes for on the outside it all looks so good.

But, yet on the inside things may not be in the place you are when you are just being you, the person you know inside and out.

Shine because he wants you too not because someone else thinks or believes you are more than you are.

You know who has the answers and who doesn’t and maybe one day you will see you as he sees you.

The clue to solving the puzzle of my life is nowhere to be found

maybe one day I will get a stronger grab on what it is I’m suppose to do.

Because right now the feeling of drowning by the things that I don’t want to do or need to do.

The thought that this is it, this is what I grew up for just isn’t something worth fighting for anymore.

I want to smile not cry for the truth is this is not what I dreamed up, the words dislike and I’m losing it is all that is floating in my mind these day.

The truth is I can’t seem to find my way out and the truth is there is no helping me and the hole that is slowly sucking up my joy is not small anymore.

The words are not just words and the truth is right in front of your face, the eyes the smile can you tell if it’s  real.

Do you remember how I used to look and act and can you tell me that I’m the same as I was before.

Get a clue this puzzle this clue isn’t about me finding my way but you finding me again.

Too many clues unanswered and for what I say, will someone look around or will you continue to focus what’s going on with you and when you feel you are complete then come back to see how I am doing?

I’ve said

my peace and now it’s time for you to let me go. 

The memories float away from me as the years pass. 

And, yes from time to time something flashes through my mind but I don’t miss you anymore. 

So I walk away from the things that remind me of the things no longer in my life. 

Sometimes when it’s been one of those days I catch myself thinking about how I miss you. 

But, I know the reason your no longer apart of my life and I’ve accepted that truth a longtime ago. 

The things that I thought were important and would last forever was quickly smashed that night. 

So many pieces that I had to clean up and forget about for today is the present. 

Holding on to too much would drive one crazy and the hole that is barely there would be too big to bear alone. 

I cared about you and I loved you but, the peace in the long run is the fresh air I breath now.

Is it true

Preview(opens in a new tab)

the words that flow out of you are they about me.

And if so, were you ever going to tell me the truth

or was I supposed to figure it out on my own.

Did you think I would ever be found out?

Or were you hoping I never read your words you wrote that night, the words that would tear us apart.

The words that made it hard for me to go home that night, knowing you were there, pretending to be happy to see me.

The memories of the days flash back in my head as I try to see the sadness behind the smiles that you awarded me with every time I walked through that door.

The hugs you greeted me with, the kisses, the words you spoke to me

were they all lies too and when did it end for you and when was I to know your plan that it would soon be coming crashing down all around me.

The path I once thought was my end result now is blocked off with the words Impossible, don’t try to fix it for it is too late now.

Time to face the truth and call you out on it and then accept that this journey is over and the next one has just begun.

I don’t want

mywords2228

to let this go but what more can one get from something that feels so predictable.

Nothing is fun anymore and everything just feels like it’s being stretched out to last longer.

In the hope that things will workout in the end and maybe they will but maybe they won’t.

Life just isn’t the same as it was before and maybe that’s on me but what can I say, I like to shake things up and not keep things the same.

I don’t like feeling bored or defeated and right now I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle and no matter how I feel the results are not good.

I don’t want to walk away and have to forget but what can I do now when all I see are the old times and the new times seem like I’m avoiding you and everything I know I need to say.

I don’t know how much longer I can keep avoiding this end this something so true but, no longer exist and I have to face the light and accept that somethings I’ve out grown and the sadness that was once there just isn’t anymore.

I have no time to look in the past when the present is now and the emotions surrounding me now are positive and lively.

The light outweighs the darkness more than it has ever been.
