Come

with me and lets travel from place to place

in hope to find some great moments to capture together.

So many we will take in and so many we will snap pictures of in hopes to keep around for a long time.

Maybe we will put them all in a book and make a couple for both of us to look back on when we are not together.

Being outdoor in such fresh air and seeing how warm and green everything is as our surrounds become more beautiful than the one before.

Come with me!

Going

through so many hoops

just to get back to what feels right again.

Trying to keep moving forward because going back is not an option.

I will hold on to what I feel can help me get to the top and out of this place

that feels so full of darkness.

The pull to get to somewhere that will make me happy and content with the decisions that I’ve made.

You

Make me see what my life could be like if I just keep going and not give up on this dream.

A dream that is so close that I can see the success in front of my eyes if only I could just reach out a little bit more.

my fingers are just about to brush against the cover of the book but then I let doubt set in again.

And I just give up on the hope that things just won’t turn around for me.

But, I wonder what would it be like if I don’t let that doubt get to me but I try even when I know the possibility of failing is so strong.

Yet by chance the possibility that I could succeed is so worth trying at this point in my life I would risk it all.

Don’t

hide away from all the things that can break you.

Because, if you don’t do something how will you ever know the outcome.

It’s worth the discovery of seeing what can make you more and what can try to steal your joy.

And for you to fight back when it tries to stop you for being you.

Like the wind you blow all the negative things away and those that stand their ground you just walk away from because it’s best not to tolerate them even for a minute.

So don’t hide away or go even half way for you were born to find the unknown and discover what it is all about.

And then take that knowledge and go to the next challenge knowing you can and will figure it out even if you need a little help.

Don’t let others tell you what to do just go out there and do what you want for succeeding and failing something you still get something out both.

Remember

It was just awhile ago when the light shined to bright in your eyes.

And your smile never stop appearing on your lips as you went about doing what you needed to do.

Now it’s like you jumped in a world of sadness and your eyes show nothing but an empty space where your joy used to be.

Your smile to see it again would have to be a miracle for not even a joke cracks that hard surface you have become.

I’m trying with all my heart to try break down this person you have become because, that smile and that joy in your eyes used to light up my world too.

Now the world around us just seems so dim without the light of u shining so brightly.

Maybe one day I will save you from that dark tunnel you have escaped to but, I feel today will not be the day you come back to me.

Never

Enough time to truly enjoy this break from this place.

Never say never for it always seems to come true anyways.

One knows when it is time to let go of the never could have happened or the never would I go back and experience that again.

Never is there a right moment to just drop everything and do what you love.

But, you know when it’s the right time to walk away and never look back.

For you learned all that you can learn and now it’s time to move forward.

I

was a fool to think this was how it was going to end. 

I always wanted to be in control and maybe lately I have been more out of control than anything. 

The feeling of anger was burning through me so powerful and strong and the feeling was real. 

So much hurt but, so much forgiveness that the all of a sudden I was not myself and no matter how much I tried to shake the feeling away. 

It just grew stronger until there was nothing left to fight and all I could do was embrace who I had become 

And sadly there was no going back and the person I used to be was gone in her place someone less caring and kind and just out to be left alone for good this time.

I didn’t

mywords2228

want my life to repeat what I did or happen to me in the past.

I want things to be clear and so that every step I take  I knew what I could control.

I didn’t want to keep saying yes to everything because I could.

I just want to say No because I mean I can’t do it.

For I know that I have worked my body a little too hard and so I will be sore.

I didn’t want to know the truth even though  I know it’s best for me if I move on and not stay here in this place.

My peace has shattered and my mind is fighting to stay alert but, it’s a fight I can’t keep holding at bay.

If only

I had known the truth

maybe than I would have picked a different path.

So much going on it feels like a maze of stuff no one wants to work through.

Because, it feels like your working through someone else’s issues when you can barely deal with your own.

The light of day is shining down on you when you wake up in the morning and you know that it will all workout in time.

You don’t give up even when you know everything feels like it is all sacked up against you.

You raise up even though you know the battle end of you is just started but, you know that if you made it this far than you can suffer just a little bit longer to make it to a better place and see and feel no experiences.

Hiding

in the background is what I do best these days.

Only seeing the beauty of the world from the shadows.

I know I could step out and join the crowd but, what’s the point.

When your surround by people sometimes you can be made into an easy target.

And soon everyone is looking for  a way to put you in a box they feel you fit into.

But, in the shadows there is no one to judge or to worry about turning against you and yet you still get to still see all the wonderful things.

With no worries or care as you stand strong and know that your weakness, won’t be the thing that makes you fail or fall down.

Through

Sunrises to Sunset we have always been there for each other even though we may keep going in different directions.

We always seem to come back to this spot and connect again.

We are all so different and yet we stand on mutual ground and even when we have our difference we still make time to make up and make sure the bond is strong.

I know that even as we continue to grow separately, I don’t have a doubt in my mind that when I need something or just someone to talk to I always have someone or many options to relay on.

Friendship sometimes just work out and that bond grows into something either of us thought was possible.

I can’t

seem to defrost my mind as the cold air hits me from every side.

The snow won’t stop coming and the desire to not go out is so strong.

I feel like there has to be a way to not have to deal with the cold right now but, all the flights are cancelled.

So here I am sitting inside waiting out the storm I don’t want to bother or deal with right now.

Watching

the fish swim by as I stand here in the dark thinking about is my life-like this aquarium?

Do I keep going in circles with the things I need to let go.

Do I keep doing the same things even though I know the right thing to do is step away and do better.

Do I keep letting the same person get under my skin because I don’t want to say something or maybe I need to just ignore them completely because I don’t want to change my character because of their actions.

In this moment everything is quiet and everything is good and right with me and for that I am grateful.

I know

things won’t be easy but right now I’m barely holding on.

Just as I’m about to float away from the light, I close my eyes and send up a little prayer.

And so I am at peace again and the stress and frustration is gone.

I am back to being in my space that feels so lay back and at peace with what is right  now.

I don’t want to let the little things get to me but, it’s hard to keep letting everything go in one ear and out the other.

You want to correct things that are wrong because that has been drilled inside of you.

You work hard and do what is told of you and yet someone else skates right by on doing barely half of what you are doing.

So unfair but, you knew their would come a time when this would come up and now all you want to do is call them out.

But, at the same time you know wasting your energy on fighting this battle is useless.

I know

my limits as the day and weeks go by.

I know that even though things look good doesn’t mean it is.

I try to do what I need to do and not worry about the other things that come along.

I know you should be doing more but, the thing is you are not and that is what we see you as lazy and not a leader.

But, no one can tell you what to do because when you think you know it all and are great at everything it is some times too hard to help you or too late.

I know that everyday won’t be as great as you thought unless you stop putting yourself first and start help those around you who have been helping you all along.
