As

a kid I liked to play outside, inside and my head was always in the clouds daydreaming.

There was no stress other than not being good at reading and well public speaking was something I wanted to avoid.

As I became a teenager there was lots of stress with homework and what not to do. To stay on the right track and still have fun.

And one day to be done with high school and go on to college, so many plans and so many of them changed overtime.

To becoming an adult and realizing so much time had gone by and now stress was like my best friend always around.

I’m still daydreaming but, my eyes are more open to things going on around me and my heart more protected than before.

So many stages in life to go through but, if I didn’t go through them would I truly be me right now.

Someone who cares but doesn’t sit around waiting for anyone to come to their senses.

I am still a kid at heart but, now I have so many responsibilities that I must be an adult to who does what I need to do and to not let anyone get in my way.

It’s getting

late and I know that it’s time for me to go.

I know that you don’t want to me to know all that is going on

and at first I was fine with that but, how much longer do I have to wait.

Because the longer I wait the more I feel less in your life and more like an outsider looking in and only granted peeks here and there.

You feel I’m being to demanding and that your life is just too complicated and it’s best to not let me get too close.

I’m not the one you want to show your  vulnerable side  with and yet it breaks you if I try to walk away.

But, yet again I feel like I am invading your space and well maybe that would be true if it wasn’t you who let me in to begin with.

I will always love you but, this is not healthy or right for me to keep living this way that makes me feel like I’m putting apart of my life on hold for someone who will never pull me into a world that I deserve.

One with less hurt and pain and disappointment, one that feels like two people are working to make this right and now just one person trying to knock down everything you put up to keep them out.

I am

full of life and I’m not going anywhere.

I wonder what tomorrow will hold for me as the sun shines down on me.

I know that these days are not something I can plan  and so I must have hope that I will make it to the next.

I must do what is best for me now and have hope that I will be able to continue doing great many more days.

Twenty-nine years and I feel there is so much more for me to do and I feel like in a way I am just beginning.

This moment feels like no going back to how I thought before and the feeling that is inside me is so strong that I don’t want it to disappear as my head hits the pillow tonight.

I want to keep climbing and not for selfish reasons but for more than I can understand right now.

I want to do it all and make it worth more than I am in the end for I am just a person and what I want to do will be more than remembering my name and those after me.

I am just a piece to the answer that some of you have being waiting for all this time.

I was

wrong about you and in that moment I thought I had known it all.

But, now I regret doubting you since from the beginning you have been nothing but truthful to me.

You have not even for a second made me question the things that make you who you are.

I think I just wanted to pretend that no one could be the perfect but in all truth you are not perfect but it’s your imperfect ways that make you so strong.

You were there when I fell and sometimes I think back to that day and I’ve decided that you won’t trying to come up with a plan to hurt me but a plan to help and save me from the sadness and darkness that is coming to close.

You knew that I needed you have my back even when I was strong enough to protect myself  on my own.

You knew that if I fell just a little bit that everything would crumble and you would quickly cover me with your love, the purest love around.

Emotions

are running through me right now

as it becomes so dark outside and everyone gets ready to sleep or are already asleep.

You try to move forward and get ready to do the same.

But you some how can’t move from this spot as you feel the coldness coming all over you and yet still you sit in the same spot for just a little longer.

You want to find the peace from sleeping but, yet you stay up as if you don’t have something to do tomorrow that needs to be done.

What do you see

when you look at me today

tomorrow or the next day.

Am I the girl you used to know

or am I someone you just can’t figure out and it’s been more than a minute since you knew me.

The new me and yet I’m still a puzzle to you and not an easy one to solve but you put all your free time to try to figure me out.

Just so that I will let you in just a little bit more at least that’s what you hope will happen soon.

All you wanted was

those black boots

and to feel good on your feet

as you danced the night away.

This was your moment to show them what you are truly made of.

You know what you are capable of but you don’t know how to stand up and take what is yours.

So today in your nice boots take back what is yours and the strength to keep everyone motivated and to strive to do the best you have always tried to offer.

I wasn’t

Expecting you to understand what I was going through these past days.

But there you were standing there with your hands out ready to support me.

As the year comes to an end I look back and I realize that I have been blessed with many things and people.

The warriors in my corner have grown so much that my battles are quickly won.

Nothing seems to take that long to figure out with all of you by my side day and night.

For I am truly blessed to have you all in my life and in my heart.

Seven

Minutes is all I have to get it all done before my time is up.

Several decisions have to be made before this new year begins and everything changes.

At this point I’m not sure if it’s for the best or the worst.

All I can do is get the things done and hope for the best.

So much to be done but not enough time to sit down and really take my time.

So many voices trying to be heard but, no one really has the time to listen at this point for we are far too busy.

If we can slow down for a moment maybe just  maybe it will all be done and look the way we want it to look.

For after all it’s all for us anyways.

I’ll wait

 for you 

no matter how long 

it may take. 

I will always be by your side 

when you need me and want me around. 

For you are my heart 

the only person I’ve ever loved so unconditionally.

You are the first one I want to see in the morning and the only

one I want to take my walks in the wood with.

So as I wait for you to catch up to me on this nice fall day

I can’t help but, wait and enjoy this quiet moment as I hear you approach me from the path we always take together.

So cold

outside yet I don’t let that coldness get to the warmth of who I am.

All around me people try to tear each other down just to feel like they are stronger or wiser than each other.

Some want to put on an act and be someone they are not just to fit in.

But, I feel like if you don’t like me for me than you are missing out, and this time of year just really builds my warmth up.

So in the cold you see my beauty and the stare of I’m not the one to mess with, but don’t let my armor fool you.

For I am someone you want to know and see just like the white snow that falls around me this time of year.

when I thought I knew it all you showed me a new way to look at life.

You showed me that even when those around you aren’t giving their all doesn’t mean you should too.

To keep going strong even when you just want to give up so badly.

You helped me to smile again and to enjoy the little things at the end of the day.

So down

    In my luck as the cold air wraps all around me 

    Leaving me feeling like an popsicle, so cold to touch.

    I stand here wondering when I will find my pace in space like this that leaves you feeling hopeless in more than one way.

    No one seems to have your back and the one that does doesn’t stick around for long for their luck is up and they are going to better places.

    But where will you end up because right now life just doesn’t seem to move forward for you. 

    Your just stuck in a space that is not defined or properly developed and the people running the place don’t seem to have their head on straight.

    You feel as if you have lost your mind and now you’re in an institution and no matter how hold you try to be true to yourself.

    You fall into their trap and the world as you know it seems to fade away leaving you with more questions than answers.

    This isn’t

    the way I wanted things to end.

    I had so much hope that things would work out this time.

    But, yet again here we are stuck in this same spot with no hope insight.

    I’m ready to fight for what is right but, the minute she is in my sight,

    the truth is it doesn’t matter how hard  I try or fight.

    For when it comes down to the end result it will never get better if she doesn’t try too.

    It’s a battle not worth pushing for at this point for I’ve tried over and over again and the cycle just continue with me overworked and unsatisfied.

    give yourself some time

    as everything starts to change.

    Maybe this new opportunity will be the new start you were looking for.

    For all you want to do is make it and know that the hard work you have done really played off.

    You want to feel like you are someone who is helping not someone they are using to get by and make ends meet.

    Your patience is being tested right now and you don’t really know what to do with yourself right now.

    You are trying so hard to keep your cool and not lose it but I think the bridge is broken and the storm is about to break.

    Day and night the anger starts to build up and you don’t know how to quiet down the storm that is brewing in my head.
