Yes it

mywords2228

is another day in this place

is it going to be great I doubt it.

But here I stand trying to make things right.

I know that I’m doing what I need to do because I have always put others first.

But as the new year quickly approaches I’m really gonna focus on myself and worry about others later when I have accomplish what I want to accomplish in my life for the time I need to get it done is not guaranteed for me.

I know right now I am here and in this moment I am focusing on what makes me, me and worrying about everything else later.

For a time for rest is now for I’ve been busy lately trying to forget and to get lost in almost everything so I don’t have to face the truth that’s been eating me up inside for quite some time now.

Maybe one day I’ll let it all out but for now only a little at a time will I cry and scream for the release I truly need to be at peace with myself.

I feel

mywords2228

Like someone is trying to throw me off as the year comes to an end.

The anger that is boiling inside of me is out of control and I don’t know how to tame it in.

Just the thought of how they are trying to play me is unfair and unfortunately a struggle for them.

I’m not sorry at this point and I will continue on with my head held up high.

I won’t allow this sneaky move to shake me up for good.

My lord won’t allow me too and so I will pray for those who do me wrong and keep doing what is best for me.

 To everyone or happy Hanukkah.

I hope we all enjoy this day even if some of you have to work.

Just be grateful you get to see the day and share the joy with whoever you can.

Enjoy the time with family and friends and enjoy the little moments that will pop up through out the day.

And just know that even if you didn’t get what you wanted, I’m sure you got what you needed and if not don’t wait around for someone else to give it to you.

Because in just a few days it will be a new year and I hope you have plans to make things different but for now have a merry Christmas and I hope every moment of your day is blessed and full of love and laughter.

The mess

mywords2228

is all around me and I realize that I’m not getting enough time to breathe

and so the stress is becoming too much and I just can’t handle it anymore.

I don’t want to go back but I do everyday and there is just always one or two people who cause a scene and it’s like your doing your best.

But you go home and when the calm of the storm has finally around you, you break down because you have had to be so strong all day long and you can’t take it anymore.

You have cracker and nothing is going to help except for going to sleep for all your troubles of the day melt away when you put your head on that pillow and sleep the pain away.

I know

mywords2228

 I’m different and yet funny and nice.

But I’m not so great at being a friend.

Or at least that’s how I feel as the doors of friendship keep shutting on me.

Maybe I withdraw from the world just a little bit too much.

I guess I’m better at disappearing into a book or a movie.

But, I’m so great if you could get past that all for I have a lot to give but shyness is a big part of who I am.

But I don’t let it slow me down for I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in this place of feeling so lost about who I am and what I meant to do.

 I know I pray and that there are few that stuck with me to the end but, maybe sometimes it would be nice to have just a little more support.

 

 But who knows maybe this is how it’s meant to be for just me.

I bet

mywords2228

You thought you were clever today.

But it’s a shame you still don’t see what you’re doing.

It ain’t right but who am I to tell you what to do when everyone else is and yet the story hasn’t changed.

You want to do more and say you are doing the right thing and everyone else is trying to tear you down.

But the thing is we all know the truth and even if we shine some light on it for you.

We will be the bad guys and the cycle of you playing the victim continues on and on.

Until you choose to grow up and take responsibility for the things you did wrong and apologize for not knowing sooner what you had done.

But I know you will not ever change and it will always be someone else fault in the end.

Sometimes it

mywords2228

takes team work to get  the right pose done right.

with just the right amount of patience anything can be succeed if we just both trust that we are capable of the strength needed to not only pull this off but to hold on a little longer than we intended  to.

Today was a good day not just for me but for you too.

Let’s end this week strong and know that there is always time for us to get it together while still supporting each other through this journey where our live continues to grow and be blessed.

Like debris

mywords2228

you are everywhere but yet not doing much.

You want to boss people around but yet can’t even do what you need to do.

You want to act as if you know it will all work out but stress about things you have no control over.

Nothing is ever good enough for you and that proves so much to me for if you had just a little more faith maybe than life would be so much better for you.

But you blame everyone else as if they are the very reason you are miserable but the truth is you are the one to blame not them but you.

It’s time you do something about your faults and do it quick for you are going to crash and burn and it won’t be pretty.

I can say we were better off without you for the stress was manageable and everyone was doing their jobs and we were a true team.

burnt away

mywords2228

are the days when I felt so strong and able to go on no matter what.

Now the struggle to do what I need to do at the speed that will help me get it done comes and goes.

I feel like I have the ability to do more but the drive to do it isn’t as strong willed as it used to be and the desire to prove myself is just not there.

For I know I can do it but the fact that you try to man hand me get us no where and yet you still think your way will get us far.

But your way is like a burnt leaf nothing good comes from dry leaves unless you need them for a fire in the woods.

I know it will all come down in the end but will you see it coming because you never seem focus or aware of your surroundings.

Let’s make

mywords2228

a wish that November will be better than October and that we will enjoy this month

for the year is truly almost over as December is coming up and then the hope things just keep going up for us is all we want.

Time is running out and we realize that no matter how hard we try we need to move quickly because the time to get it done is running out.

We have to have courage now because it’s time to take those risk and it’s time to just let everything fall to the side if it’s not what we have to get done now because this life is intense now and you don’t want to stress about what if’s when you can do it now.

No more complaining, it’s time to face everything with confidents that it will go in your favor because you have worked hard and sacrificed so much already.

So wish so hard that the only thing you will think about for now on will be that wish which will come true because it’s your time to shine now and forever as long as you believe in yourself again and again.

Its time

mywords2228

 to move forward with my head up high and my feet moving with urgency.

In the hope that things will workout for me.

This week has been long and tiring and so stressful that I just wanted to scream.

I’m so tired I don’t want to get back up as my body aches and my mind says today

Is the day to make the right decision.

As time goes by I realize why did I stay for so long only to be losing more than my mind at this point.

 In the hopes that things will get better I can only pray it will all work out for me.

 But only time will tell if I make it out before it all crash down around me.

The weather

mywords2228

is changing and soon it will be too cold for one to just dip their hand in the river for it will be frozen soon.

And being outside will be no fun but being inside watching as the season changes from fall to winter.

Wondering if I had truly wished for this kind of weather so soon.

Will it be hot again next week or will it stay cold for the rest of this fall.

I will not know until tomorrow and than the next day until one day the weather will just drop completely and you will wake with a sight of a frost and the sight of your breathe in the air and you will just know fall is no more.

Was so

mywords2228

 Angry at the world

That I couldn’t see those around me that have been there along.

Through every storm even the ones they didn’t know about.

They would encourage and push because they don’t want to give up because they saw the light in me when I couldn’t

They stood strong around me waiting for me to be ready to join them.

For they knew the joy of me was coming and not just for a little bit but for a lifetime.

Today was unclean to me but now I see I had to step back to see the truth and now it’s time.

To take one step at a time and just move forward because it’s just too late to give them an second chance.

Sometimes

mywords2228

 It’s not about the storm and how much it is coming down.

But, about the rainbow that comes after it.

For all the anger or frustration before the storm is clearly wiped away when you realize all you want to do is smile.

Now that your looking at such a beautiful rainbow.

That your pain for the days are ruin anyway and now you can explore something else.

Learn something new and very just not give up in the end for you know there is light to every darkness.

Like a

mywords2228

 Tree I can break too.

And not just on an icy day.

Sometimes it’s sunny days and I slowly dry up with no new growth inside.

And I slowly start to bend until I fall completely apart.

And be no more.

You will clean up the mess I made and maybe on a hot summer day you will miss my shade.

But as the storms come and go you will not worry about me as I will not be leaning towards the house.

But just maybe you will plant something new in my spot and it will begin to grow.

For just because one falls down doesn’t mean another can’t bloom in its place.
