We all

want to be loved and understood and heard.

But, while we we’re looking for others to pay attention to us so that we feel important.

All we get is disappointment and nothing to gain but so much to lose.

If we just accept that we are already loved and we are already someone important.

Then doing what we love will make us feel this feeling that no one in this world could give us and they surely wouldn’t be able to take it away.

I’m a loner and lately it hasn’t been that bad for I’ve found my happiness on my own and I’m relying more on my God and myself now.

Yes, I still like to talk to others but the overwhelming feeling that used to eat me up inside unless I talk to someone is gone.

And I don’t try that hard anymore and maybe I don’t care that much either.

But, I’m still me if you ever still need me, I’m still here fighting and letting go of the things I can’t control.

Daily Prompt: Commit

I commit to you not just today

but every moment of my life.

I owe you everything for you saved me

and you keep saving me.

I’m lost without you and I struggle with you but

that’s only because you want me to learn and do better.

And how can I grow if everything is easy and not complicated, You lift me up and committing to you comes easy to me now.

I’ve become someone because of you and my worth was defined before I opened my eyes and entered into this world.

I am who  I am supposed to be because of you and I won’t stop writing and believing because you fuel me when I can’t seem to function without you.

Getting by day by day without you on mind and without you in my heart is like living in this world but walking around like a zombie with no purpose or direction.

Always hungry for something to fill me up but it won’t happen because you are the reason I feel complete now.

No longer feeling lost looking for something or someone to fill up the emptiness inside of me only to be disappointed when the emptiness is still there and growing bigger.

And no amount of time is making it better and I grew completely clueless and hopeless and dramatic.

But, one day you helped me finally wake up and walk away from the life I thought was the right one.

So today I commit to you Lord and only you, for without you nothing else would really matter or hold an interest.

Daily Prompt: Better

I want better for right now I feel so hollow

and this hole called my life is just growing

so deep.

I don’t know how or if  I want to crawl out of this dark place

for in the light I see the truth and truth is I’m alone and no one is looking for me.

The answers are not ending up to something great

so I rather just sit here in the dark with all the unknown

pieces of my life.

At least in the dark I am able to hide from the reality of what my life is now

a life I didn’t think would be for me but I just have to keep moving for standing still isn’t an option for me.

I can’t sit around being depressed and feeling down all the time for I have things to do and  I want and need better for me.

So I move forward even though the hollowness of my life is not fun I know that things will get better.

I just have to have a little faith that the better moments and the joy I used to love will come back in a better light that I can live with.

I just

mywords2228

got these feelings and no amount of time away

is going to make them stop growing.

A lifetime of feelings for people who may not

care anymore.

For those who don’t know that I ever existed for

I’m just another person walking in the crowd

Another mouth to feed.

Another life to save with words or with God

To do better for me or for you.

To put him before you and anyone else

To tell you that you are not a priority in my life.

To live life knowing what is going to happen or to

wonder what possibly could happen next and that it can’t out do what just happened.

So many emotions playing out as I listen to this song, relatable to my life right now or how can someone go through that.

It would be so painful and confusing and hopeless in the end.

But, they went through it just to get to the other side of their life

and to see the world they love in another point of view.

The future I thought, u thought was going to be it for me or for you

is not the one we are destined to live out.

Always

sad and wanting so much

from this life.

That sometimes the love that is present

is ignored as you just don’t see it anymore.

The disappointments have made you lose hope

that sometimes things take time and space.

You want to be mad and upset but in the end you

can’t really bring yourself to let the anger stay for long.

Your tired and you want to sleep away the worry and the

pain but, you know that the day holds so much more for you.

And laying in bed all day isn’t going to help but it’s time to just have

a little bit more hope that the rainbow will come after the storm.

And what’s left behind is better off then it was before everything you thought was important was taken away.

Daily Prompt: Climbing

I’m climbing to the top and every now and then

I stumble and fall a couple of steps.

But, instead of giving up I keep going

and sometimes it feels like someone else is carrying me through it all.

Today I feel like I’ve finally reached the top and there you are with a helping hand

to pull me up to my final destination.

The hands and feet that kept me from getting this far is gone and I am so alive right now

that I can’t hold a grudge against them or be mad at all.

All I can do is smile and laugh and cry happy tears at this moment that feels so unreal right now.

So much I have gone through and at times I have let the negativity get to me and drag me down so far.

I thought and felt there was no coming back from this but, some how and some way I made it to the top.

So would think I just had a good day and my luck was up.

But, I know the truth for the hand that reached out to me that day was my lord and the hands and feet that grabbed and kicked at me was my enemies.

They couldn’t see what I saw waiting for me at the top so they did all they could to tear me down.

Yet, I climbed on with more determined than I could build up myself.

For I had to get to the top and I couldn’t just sit down here and wish one day I had the guts to do it.

I had to act now and climb with all my might and not look down or back for one foot and hand at time.

Would get me to where I’m meant to be and I can say now and later that the climb was so worth it.

HAPPY EASTER!

Everyone, I hope you all have a great Sunday!

This day is more than Easter baskets and the yummy things inside them.

It’s another day to worship my lord and today is the day he gave his life for me, a sinner and once a lost soul just cruising through life.

I thought I knew who I was supposed to be and what I was to do with my life, but then time slowed down and I became confused on the direction of my life.

Everything I loved and thought was what I needed to do was gone and not even an option anymore.

He guided me to the right place and  everything became clear and I’m where I’m meant to be with the hopes of more to come.

I stop letting my failures or let downs hold me down and I stop trying to be someone I no longer am.

I became someone new and there is no going back and for that I will always be grateful and so today is more than just another holiday or Sunday for me.

Daily Prompt: Meaningless

You said that you would always keep your promises when it came to me

but I soon found out that was a lie.

And you would show up like you did what you said, taking the credit of something someone else did.

Your apologies all the words you spit out were meaningless to me for I saw you for what you were.

A liar !

I saw what you were doing and to you it was nothing but a small white lie and even though you had a closet full of these little small white lies.

No harm was coming of it for you felt you had not got caught, so there was no reason to tell the truth.

Your words were meaningless not only to me but to everyone around you, for you didn’t just lie to me.

You lied to the people who had always been there for you and you didn’t even seem to care that your lie had end years of friendships.

Because you did not do anything wrong at least that’s what you keep repeating to yourself now that this is the situation you have to live with.

I would feel sorry for you but the five  chances I gave you just didn’t seem worth fighting for anymore, you knew what was going on and just didn’t care.

Nightmare

mywords2228

You tried to come back into my life-like a bad dream.

Your like the shadows in my room at night, only you don’t scary me anymore.

I know you are just the shadow of a t-shirt hanging in my closet.

But, as a child you were a monster reaching out to get me in my sleep.

Like a nightmare you haunt me now and then as if you can’t seem to move on in life.

For something’s are better left in the past.

Time moves on and on and the safe feeling that you are gone is always around.

But, some where there is doubt in the back of my mind.

Knowing you are just waiting around the corner.

Just to say hello, not seeming to get the hint.

All I have to say is goodbye and awake up this is just a nightmare.

I’m not really here wanting to see you.

Anything

but the truth rolled out your mouth that day

and I could tell that you thought you were in the clear.

You tried so hard to keep a straight face but I saw right through it and the truth is I feel so

sad for you for you thought a lie would save you.

But, all you had to say was the truth and just maybe you could have walked away that day with no tears in your eyes.

But, you choice the lie and so the lie was what you ended living with and not me and I don’t regret a moment or second.

For what I said was every bit the truth and it really did set me free that day.

I felt alive and in control of my words and emotions and soon I will be able to smile again even when a  thought of you floats through my mind until your gone for good.

Daily Prompt: Luck

Luck some depend on you yo help them get through the day when they know all may fail.

But, luck you are not my first thought of the day.

Your not the one I depend on to have a great day or give me the strength to do the right thing throughout my day.

But, it is nice to feel lucky about something.

But, I won’t bet my luck on everything working out in the end.

So it’s nice knowing  that luck is out there but is it really luck that is helping you out in the end?

I’d like to say I’m lucky to have God and my family, and friends in my life.

For if I didn’t have them what luck would I have to get through life.

I wouldn’t have the energy to keep fighting this battle called life.

So I  think I’ll keep my type of luck and keep hoping that the results will be worth it.

Daily Prompt: Center

I walk across the center of the stage and I shake your hand and I take my diploma

leaving behind years of studying and designing projects.

To been thrown out into the real world and to be rejected at every corner

and maybe in a way it was a good thing.

For I found my true purpose and I found my way to God,  the path I walk on now is very much unknown to me.

I know my passions and talents and where I will end up is still unknown to me but I have not ever felt so alive than I do now.

I work and I smile at everyone and I don’t think back on the things that didn’t work out for and I’m slowly not thinking about the people who were in my past.

Somethings are best left in the past and now it’s time to move on to my present which sometimes feels kind of lonely but I’ve grown more now with the time I have on my own.

I wish sometimes to be apart of the center of your life but I understand that the center of your life isn’t as wide as it used to be and now only a few stand still and wait to greet you.

Used to

be somebody to you and now I’m just another stranger in the crowd.

I think about all the memories and I’m grateful for them as we drift apart.

I appreciate all the times you were there for me and I was there for you too.

But,  now as we grow up and our friendship grows apart.

I want to say I miss you and sometimes I do but most times life is moving so fast I don’t have time to think of you.

Today I’m stranger but soon enough I won’t even be a memory and that’s when I’ll be erased from your history.
