Daily Prompt: Rapid

The things in my life were changing faster than I could get things together.

Everything that I had dreamed of seem to be fading way each time I blinked an eye

the answers that I had been looking for were nowhere to be found.

I had hope things will be going towards less stressful days and yet somehow I was not looking forward to the things that were leading up to the life that I was living right now.

I had chosen this path thinking it was better than the one that I was on and, yes I wouldn’t go back to the one before but I so badly want to get off of this one.

I have to find a way out of this maze that is my life and cut back on all the darkness that is flooding into my life.

I barely see the good in people anymore for I see so much ugly and no care in the world.

I thought

mywords2228

I knew the answers to the riddle that you seem to want me to answer.

But, what I discovered was not the truth I wanted to know

I thought you cared about my well-being  and now  I’ve never felt so lied too.

Your words were the truth I never wanted to know and yet, now that I know I feel free and at peace.

One second I am anger and just can’t shake the feeling that I am feeling right now.

I’m stuck in a hard place that I really don’t see it turning out good for you but, for me there are so many paths to take for you have broken the chains that held me back all these years.

I thought I knew the puzzle I had been building but along the ways a couple of pieces were lost and I found myself trying to find in pieces that would not ever truly fit.

Daily Prompt: Sleeve

mywords2228

I raised my sleeves up and got to work

but the end results don’t feel like it was worth working so hard for.

I tried to not hold a grudge but, how can I walk through life trying to do more than what

I guess I should be doing.

Just to be treated like someone who you think is a fool and will fall for anything that comes out your mouth.

The time to stand up and not let anything get in my way is now for I’ve worked too hard to be treated like I’m slipping.

Daily Prompt: Bestow

mywords2228

Every day your put to work to use the skills you have and put them to use in a way that makes it easier for others.

You try to do your best because life can get crazy and as long as you work hard and the balance between you and everyone else is even.

You put to use your skills so that you have something else to do when work is not on your schedule and you have time to yourself for once.

You let yourself get lost in the words and the music that flows through you as you create something amazing or beautiful.

For even if your work that you put out there is really just for you, you know that in a way it will benefit others.

I’m not

mywords2228

sure I can keep doing this as my head feels like it’s about it’s about to explore.

I didn’t work this hard for you to push me so hard that I’m completely falling apart.

I want to tell you off so many times but here I am just shaking my head because this is beneath ridiculous at this point.

No time to think just more stuff piled on me in hope that it will get better.

The quest seems to fall short and I just don’t know what to do now for this could have been someone’s else path but here I am living out what feels like a nightmare wide awake.

With no hope of it ending on a good note for the good things seem to pass me by at this point in my life.

Daily Prompt: Fret

mywords2228

I keep telling myself that there is no point in over worrying about the things in life that seem like they are out of your control.

Am I worrying about the right thing or are they worried about the wrong thing?

I know they are because I’m giving up more of me and in the end, I feel lost and well they are happy that they don’t have to overstress.

Because to the rescue here, I come but at the end of the day what about my worries?

Or do my worries not matter and am I just wasting my time for no one cares or worries about what happens to me?

Daily Prompt: Luminescent

mywords2228

They always said I burned a different way and when I light up everyone who choose to ignore me.

Would stop what they were doing and stop and stare like for the first time they were seeing me for me.

And I wasn’t ugly or strange anymore for they finally saw the beauty of me and it wasn’t just within me.

I always enjoyed their looks of awe but, I’ve always known that I wasn’t something to look away from and even though it took them this long.

I wouldn’t mind if they never saw me for what I am for I know the only thing that matters is how I see my self at the end of the day.

Daily Prompt: Explore

mywords2228

To explore the world and get out of one place is what I want to do for

being stuck in the same box for too long is no longer pleasant. 

The days are long and the places are well, all the same, nothing new coming my way feels like a maze walking around seeing the same things until you finally find your way out. 

I know my time to explore will be limited eventually, so, for now, I will take the time to see what the world has to offer me. 

For living with regret is not something I plan on doing now or ever. 

I want to have books full of memories of the time I travel here and explored everything and tells these stories I have to anyone who will listen.

Daily Prompt: Radiant

mywords2228

You shine like a light that I never want to go out

I know that things can be tough and difficult at times but I don’t want you to lose who you are to please those that don’t care in the first place.

When you’re quiet and staying to yourself I know that something is going on and all I want to do is help you through things time.

But, you’ve been hurt before and your trust is on lockdown and I just wish that you would shine your light on me and see the truth soon.

For I’m here for you and I’m not going anywhere for I have so much time to offer that I know that you will let me in soon.

Because you are not the type of person that lets someone sit around for long without telling them off.

Daily Prompt: Micro

mywords2228

Like a micro chip sometimes the things that rock your world is so tiny you didn’t think it could end up doing so much damage.

The more you try to out smart  it, it runs ahead and knocks you back down letting you know that you are not in charge.

The little things in life can change your perspective of what you thought was the path you needed to take.

Daily Prompt: Identical

mywords2228

Every move we made that day was identical for we were moving in sync to one another because, if we didn’t the work would have not have gotten done.

We had to work together in order for everything to run smoothly  for we didn’t want it to end like it had been lately.

The stress was overwhelming but together we took some of the pressure off of each other so that we could both survive this journey we were on now.

And for how long we both didn’t know the answer to that .

Daily Prompt: Grasp

I stand there about to give you the paper back to you when you just reach out and snatch it right out of my hand.

I can’t believe that you would do that and I’m mad that you think that is okay to do to me.

I want to say something but I’m so pissed that I just say have a nice day and move on with what I need to do before I do something I will regret.

I try to forget your actions after you walk away but, the thought of what you did seems to run through my mind as the day slows down and I think over all the moments of my day.

You seem to have grabbed that happy mood from me and turn it into something ugly and I know I shouldn’t let your action affect me so much.

For out of sight out of mind sometimes works for me but, you always come back in my life and so the memories that make my blood boil really seem to be happening more and more lately.

I want

mywords2228

no I need to get this off my chest because I have not felt this way before and it’s so overpowering that I can’t sleep.

I eat just to survive but, the feeling of just wanting to sleep in and not go anywhere for a while would be nice.

But, I get up and I move around with the need to get to where I am needed and just move with the flow of the traffic.

I know the worrying is there but not from me for I know where  I need to be and do to survive this moment .

I want no I need to say this because, the way you looked at me the other day just proved my point.

If I don’t say anything you are going to keep thinking that this is appropriate but, it’s not and so I stand strong today.

Because, I don’t want tomorrow to be the same as yesterday and I’m hoping for so many more things to happen and come my way.

For I deserve more and this time I will put an end to this matter now.

Daily Prompt: Branch

mywords2228

Like branches everything in my life  that once seemed to matter has broken off and fallen from my life.

At first it stun like a bee  but, soon the loneliness was filled with new happiness and certain things that I had forgotten were coming back to me.

The new branches that grew into my life were stronger than the last and as the vines wrapped around me trying to protect me from the things that once hurt me.

I was grateful for the pain that had ended and the healing that had begun for I always knew a new beginning was coming my way.

Daily Prompt: Premonition

mywords2228

I strong feeling that something was about to happen but, I just couldn’t figure it out.

All day I watched for the signs that something was about to happen and I just knew it wouldn’t be anything good. 

I held my breath when I saw him and that feeling rained down on me that it was about to happen and as I stood there frozen out of fear. 

It happened so fast that I thought I was seeing things but, then I heard the screams and clapping as you kneeled down in front of me. 

Asking me to spend the rest of my life with you.

In that moment I knew the fear was more of me thinking something bad was going to happen because good moments were so rare for me. 

I couldn’t have predicted this moment and yet I wouldn’t change it for the world.
