What am I

To do when no one listens to me.

I only speak out because I care and what is going on isn’t right.

There is always going to be someone not playing attention and trying to set you up in life.

But always taking the high road will get you somewhere in life and maybe it’s time to get away.

It’s time to clean out the old memories and allow room for new ones.

As I want to be heard and I want to see results and not be pushed back into the corner where no one will look for me unless something big happens and they then know who to seek.

100 Word Wednesday: 168

really even matter anymore

when it feels like no matter how safe you try to be things can still get you.

That no matter how you tell people do not do that

That they do it anyways.

Life is what you make of it and we are all born and we will all die.

But, what we make of our time here on earth is what matters.

But lately how can one go about doing that when people make life seem like a party

and in having fun you are endangering the ones you love.

For the sake of having a good time but will it matter that you had fun if you kill all those that loved and trusted you.

Will it matter that you can say this year wasn’t a complete waste because you enjoyed the dangers and came out of it but, did the other people around you come out of it too?

Things have

Change and you

Realize the things that used to bother you

don’t anymore.

At least not in the way they did before.

It’s like they don’t stick to you anymore and so they don’t ruin your mood.

Or your day or week or month.

They just coexist with you

And maybe they get solved and you move on?

Or they just keep floating along forgotten this whole time.

But your story keeps going and the growth in your faith and your lifestyle.

Keeps expanding until doubt and insecurity no longer hold you back.

Your path is clear and your mind and heart

are open to so many more possibilities.

Oh how

You are always on my mind and always in my heart.

You are my guide through this all.

And lately I haven’t been my best and yet you have stayed by my side.

For you are my God and through it all I truly know I can overcome it all.

Especially when I am a mess and nothing seems to make sense but when I let go.

And wake up the next day you always deliver just what I need.

And for that I am so grateful and I know through the struggles.

You will be there and I accept the hard times because when it’s easy it always feels like something missing.

The struggle make somethings so clear and true.

And for that I am thankful and light right now as nothing holds me back.

You are

the only one I can’t seem to shake

The only one I can’t see doing anything mean.

The one who does good and stays focus on the things that matter.

And maybe I’m not used to that because I’ve let myself get distracted by everything that is not right.

And now I don’t know what to do with you because I’ve never been in this situation before.

For your different and your full of light and the darkness isn’t something that seems to be gaining on you.

And lately I’ve felt so angry and well the darkness has swallowed me whole and thinking of you.

Has slowly but surely brought me out and today I will do better for me and you.

I’m not

the light you were looking for because

I destroy and make things more complicated then it has to be.

And here I am fighting no one but my own demons as the world seems to be trying to survive something that is always changing.

We try to stay positive but that can all change each day but in the end of some articles are hope as someone survives the virus and the path seemed so impossible but we know he can do all things and that includes the impossible.

I know this is trying times and there will be darker days than lighter ones but there will be an end for there always is one and when we come out nothing will be the same but we will be smarter and safer in all that we do for we are never alone.

And it’s time to change the way we enjoy things and just realize that the things we thought were in is well out now and being alive and healthy should be enough.

For being bored is just another way to complain about what nothing for others don’t have the chance to be bored for worry is more on their mind and as much as we all wish this was a dream.

It’s a wake up call everyday and night and maybe one day we will realize and know all there is to this moment, this memory that will always be with us and that we lived through something we never imagined could happen to us now or ever.

I won’t

mywords2228

Start looking for you for you are meant to find me.

I won’t start making a list about you for you are to come to me as you are and all that you are will be enough.

I will be full of words that will express how you make me feel but I won’t come on too strong.

I know once we are one it will be hard and impossible to break us apart.

For if we are meant to be it will last and through every storm and celebration we will grow and learn. 

 For I won’t stop hoping you will come to me soon and shake up my very quite life again.

I know

 Not of what awaits me today.

As it seems there are challenges that keep popping up and yet I seem hopeful.

That I will get through it all even when I know the struggle is far from being over.

My hopes to get ahead or even break even just isn’t in the cards for me.

And so I just face everything for what it is and keep moving through life as if this pace won’t always be how I’m walking on my journey.

Maybe I’ve

 Been fooling myself as I work hard to keep

this friendship going.

Maybe if I let it go if it was meant to be it will work out.

For this doubt and trying to figure out what to say is just not working and I feel like something needs to be said.

But, I don’t know how you will take it and so I sit here erasing more than hitting the send button.

Maybe it’s too late and now I wonder how to be me and yet still want what everyone else has.

I know being by myself sometimes is nice and so I get lost in my own world and every now and then.

I come out and check on everyone else and then I wonder if I had just been outgoing the whole time would this doubt be bothering me now.

Time

To find my way on this path even if it is a early one.

I know everyone is just waking up and here I’ve been for sometime and still I don’t feel ready.

But, here I am trying to get a move on it when all I want is to be warm.

And far from walking out the door and going anywhere but her just doesn’t sit well with me

So much to do and yet I’m sill watching the clock as if I don’t know the time or where I have to go this morning.

Maybe I just want the day to end so I can go home but not because I don’t like the place I just rather be in my home all relax and ready for food and sleep.

Was I

to tired to see your true colors all this time.

You may be small but I can feel the many knifes your trying to throw my way.

No respect just  trying to take and take.

You want so much but right now it’s really just a struggle to get it all down in the end.

Things are becoming more clear as the problems that raise up are not mine anymore.

The peace even within the Storm is better than the storm that just doesn’t go away for good.

No direction and no hope inside for the one who could and should help won’t step up unless they have too and in the end it all comes down to the same results.

You want to complain about the ones who came before you because you think so highly of yourself but at the end of the day we carry you not the other way around.

When the mess hits the fan it is mostly because of you and you then fight back as if you have the right too.

This circle will come to an end and right now I don’t care to watch the show for I know how it ends.

I needed

 This break to just stop and look at the view

For I’ve been so busy not looking around and just looking in the direction I needed to go.

I know I have to keep focus but I don’t want to miss out on anything in my life as right now in the present so much is happening,

I won’t give up and I will do more for myself because it’s me who will struggle if I do too much or too little in this opportunity I have for now.

Sometimes

in life, you don’t know if your right side up or upside down.

And when you try to find some balance in your life.

Something somehow shifts before your eye and throws you for a curve and before you can get back up they knock you right back down.

And nothing you say or do is working out for you at this point because they chose to knock you down instead of helping you up at the end of your struggle.

You have done so much and right when you choose to move on and do better for yourself they throw you under the bus and expect you to smile and still help out with no worries in sight.

You feel that the pull is becoming too much and you know there is no way you will along this to go on and so you stand your guard and fight the good fight.

Until just come out with what they are planning to do which we all know doesn’t sound like someone who has your back at this point.

I want

mywords2228

to feel the cold wind blowing around me as I get cold but not too cold.

As I look around and see the snow that fell just yesterday start to melt away like my problems from yesterday.

I Stand and I move to keep the warmth inside until it is my time to go back inside for I know the tough times are not yet behind me.

And I know that I am strong but how strong when it just feels like someone is lifting me up just to slam me back down.

As if my injuries and feelings don’t matter anymore and I am replaceable.

Everyone

is excited and proud and happy for me.

And I am grateful for the love and energy that is surrounding me.

It keeps me going on the roughs days and the colds nights.

It’s what makes me know I’m doing something right if all these people who are like family to me are happy for me and want better for me at the end of the day.

I know that hiding or settling because you don’t want to be seen in the end doesn’t help you to grow or become what you want to be.

It just leaves you to keep second guessing yourself and in the end you are more likely to be unhappy and unsatisfied in that part of your life.

And being unsatisfied is a hard thing to live with because it just turns you bitter and mean and your temper is so quick to rise up and come out.

Being one with oneself leads to some much joy and positivity that it’s hard to doubt things when you feel it is right and enjoyable at the same time.

So let’s do what we need and want to do and worry about the rest later for life isn’t meant to be lived focusing on a future you may not be around for but, for living in the present and doing what you want now for later is not always a option.
