Daily Prompt: Broken

mywords2228

We all feel broken sometimes when life just keeps cutting us down.

You want to feel less broken because you don’t want to feel weak.

You want all your wounds to heal up and you want to move on and smile again.

You don’t want to go through having to pretend that everything is okay when it’s not.

You don’t want to feel like because your broken, good things won’t come your way anymore.

You want to believe that you’re not alone on this pain.

That someone has your back even when you feel like your not strong enough to do it by yourself.

Just because your broken doesn’t mean that is the end to the battle your fighting right now.

If only

mywords2228

you could save some time in your pocket and store it for later.

When you just need a little quite time to a very long day.

You’re tired of solving everyone else problems and not your own because you just don’t have time for yourself.

You try to find the answers to what would this moment be life if I just had more time to appreciate it and really savor it for all the things it could offer me.

You beg for more time just to find your way out of this endless path that doesn’t look like its ended up with the answers you really wanted.

You want to feel the pull that this is the right thing to do and smile because you are having the time of your life right now.

You want to feel like every question that is in your mind has a point and needs to be answered and right now is the time to seek them.

If only you saw yourself the way I see you and if only you truly believed you were doing your best at the end of the day.

Daily Prompt: Assumption

mywords2228

I was a fool to think you would be around when I needed you

I just assumed that when you say you would always be there for me.

I thought that was you saying more than just words to me that night but, yet again you are not around.

Always coming later when I don’t need you anymore and someone else has stepped in to help.

Time went by since the last time I saw you and it was a shock to see you reaching out to me as if you truly care.

I was busy living my life and not waiting around for you to have time for me and so I missed out on being there for you and I guess you just assumed I would always be around because that’s who I was.

The one who drops everything to help you out no matter what, but that big heart of kindness died a long time ago waiting for you and now I’ll keep missing whatever and whenever you need me for I can’t be depended on anymore.

Relax your body as we sit here watching the turtle swim towards, it’s a precious sight to be able to watch and enjoy.

The peace that rains down on me it feels so  good and I can’t remember the last time I felt this peace or felt this calm.

My happiness was captured on this day with a simple photo and I realized that the things that feel like their holding me down no longer have the same grip as they had before this day.

Daily Prompt: Thin

mywords2228

The thin line between me trusting you and knowing what you are capable of was stretched so thin that day.

That I just wanted to walk away and not deal with the stress I knew was coming sooner than I wanted it to happen.

I wanted to quietly walk away and not deal with the aftermath for at the end of the day I felt like I was fighting the tide and getting nowhere fast.

The end results were never coming to see the light of the day.

Daily Prompt: Laughter

mywords2228

The laughter coming from the back of the store could be heard from the front door and it made you just happy to hear someone having a good moment in there long work day.

You begin to think that without laughter things would be so much more stressful and less enjoyable.

Because, laughter can burn away all the things that make you feel like you just can’t wait for this day to be over.

You work so hard but you realize what were you thinking when you decided to go this way.

Your laugher is so much harder to find and all you hear is a harsh voice coming from you and you wonder what happen to that happy laughing girl.

The past you was so close to that laugher that now you sometimes you  don’t know how to react because laughter hasn’t been apart of your life for a very long time.

So many stories that are being told on those shelf’s and I’ve read them all and yet I need to read more to understand so much more about this thing called life.

It’s funny how when you get lost in a book that you are not thinking about learning anything in this book just wanting to get your mind off your troubles.

You start to grab at each word and connect to almost all the characters because someone has to have been through what you went through in your lifetime.

There

mywords2228

is this ache is inside of me that only comes when life seem to slow down and I start to see the things that are missing from my life.

Sometimes the ache is bearable and other times I wonder how things turned out this way.

I know that I hoped for so much more from this life that I am living and well I know it’s probably possible.

I know that if I choose to do it my way how can I later on regret it when I made the decision to go down the path I knew was not for me.

The things that make me wonder why I have to take this verbal abuse when I’ve done no wrong towards this person.

These are the things that I have to live with for I am seen small like an ant something that can be easily ruined and made to disappear.

These times of suffering do not end as everyone goes to sleep and the hope of something new to come my way and make things better.

The situation is no something that fades for a time being it is always there lurking in the shadows waiting for the perfect time to strike and knock you down hard.

There is little hope that things will get better over time all one can do is pray that this demon will be banished from their life so only the good can stick around.

Just need to get away and find a place that will bring me a little bit of peace from this stressful place.

Some fresh air to breathe and first time feel like I can try taking deep breaths and not choke on all the pollution that is in the air around here.

I want to walk long walks and know that my lungs will be getting the best air and my legs will be going towards something great, for I want to truly laugh again and smile too.

Daily Prompt: Abrupt

mywords2228

The words that fell from his mouth that day had changed everything and now all she could think about was what he said.

She was mad and sad and just over it at the same time but, she knew, in the long run, things were going to change.

A change that would, in the end, change the game from pleasant to downright nasty.

I know things will be rough but this was not just about one thing it was about many and she had the right to do what was best for her.

Daily Prompt: Elaborate

mywords2228

Sometimes a great piece is lacking of details for the writer forgets to elaborate on something that really would have made the book or film great.

But, sometimes elaboration is just what a story needs to be able to piece it together.

That’s all a reader wants to do piece the pieces of the story together for they want to guess that this is the way it will end.

They usually don’t see what is coming because they are so involved with the details and facts they don’t have to be thinking about why the writer did that or didn’t do that.

So elaborating on a story is the right way to go because I want to be involved and grabbing on to every detail so that in the end I will be sad the story ended but satisfied with the way the author ended it.

The city light sometimes overwhelm me as all I want sometimes is a little bit of quiet.

The lights are so bright and I just want to get up and go and explore what is out there for staying inside for so long has made me quite restless. 

Today will be the day that I get to finally be at peace and relax, no time to stress or feel like there is nothing I can control because I only know the basic information.

I so needed a night out and some good drinks and laughter for it’s been rough lately and time just seems to be going by way to fast for me.

I’m always tired and the time for fun just doesn’t seem to be possible lately, I wanted to try the lobster today and anything new.

For I knew tomorrow I would be so worn out from a night I had been waiting for way too long and now that it’s here I don’t ever want to look back again.

A forest is a place of sound but a sound that puts you at ease and the thought of being out in nature is always relaxing.

This time to explore and not think about the things that are coming up and you have to finish when you get back from this trip.

You smile at this moment and hope that things could be this peaceful and easy again and you wonder when will you get another chance like this to get away and just rest easy before you become too wore out to enjoy these moments.

Daily Prompt: Churn

mywords2228

Sometimes the things in life are rough and messed up and all you want to do is blend them up.

When your done blending it all together, you hope that things would smooth out and for once you could smile about what’s going on around you.

But, right now you just want to let go and not think of the things that are outside your life the one that is full of peace and love.

The one that keeps you on your toes and not the one that makes you want to run away and not look back.

The peace is slowly ticking away and the time is eating away at what used to be me.

Can I blend together a life that would be smooth as butter or will it be more lumpy and unclear to where it will end.
