Being

one with myself and nature was the only time I seemed to find the peace I need in life.

So much stress around me but when I’m out here nothing seems to be able to touch me.

I’ve came a long way from where I was before, and I know now looking back will do me no good.

So today I live in the present and try not to let all of it that is around me get to me.

For I am enough and all I have is all I ever will need to continue a life that is full of joy and love and peace a life that is well balanced.

They say

mywords2228

You’re hard to read like a complicated book, but something good and exciting in all the mess.

So they jump on for the ride in hopes you will become something good to read and learn from an experience that only happens once in a lifetime.

Something to put on a bookshelf, but in the end, they always come back too, even when they don’t read paper books anymore.

For you will always be something to treasure and appreciate in the end.

The time

Three lines tale week 296

I will get away from all the noise and let the trees and the sound of nature keep me company.

I will let the wind blow me around like the fallen leaves on a windy day and just let go of all those emotions out into the atmosphere to avoid going back to reality feeling the same before the escape.

Because it’s time for a change, one that only happens when my season has arrived and I accept the change.

Through it

all we have been together for without you, I don’t think I could have made it through my darkest days.

Through it all, I don’t have to doubt if it will work out because I know I can face the things I can handle with you by my side.

Through it all, I have always felt your love and protection, and when things feel so out of my control, you save me and show me I am so much more, and I am worthy of all that you have given me.

Time

mywords2228

Sometimes time isn’t on my side and it’s frustrating at that moment when I need more time or I feel like the time I had I wasted.

No doing what I needed to do because of distraction and letting little things get in my way.

Maybe I’m far too busy, but am I getting what needs to get done, or am I letting this world lead me down a path that will not satisfy me in the end.

Will it be too late for me or will I wake up in time to save myself and be the best version of myself?

To get

mywords2228

Away and float around this lake taking in the clear water and fresh air.

finally, feel free enough to breathe it all in and appreciate everything around me without fear of getting too close.

To live without fear and allow the calmness of the lake to wash over me and wrap me up safely to see another day.

To stop

mywords2228

Expecting the unexpected things into your life as if it is what you want or desire?

How can one get help if one keeps expecting someone else to come along and do the work you know is expected of you.

Stop saying yes when you have the feeling you should have said no in the first place.

It’s time to accept you have to do the work with the time you have and to stop overdoing it over time.

Your pushing too hard for something that might be yours later on for the hope of all the answers to be delivered to you now.

It may be your time to shine, but you will never know if you will if you stay in the shadows for too long. For it’s time to step out where others can see you and shine as bright as you can and hope that at least one person notices you.

At that, my friend will just be the beginning of it all.

To leave

would be great as you get on the boat and finally leave behind the view you’re no longer in love with.

To walk away with a smile on your face and to face change head on and no longer worry about the things you couldn’t change.

To breathe in and out the fresh air of freedom and finally be at peace and let the tension from your shoulders fall right off.

As you watch a new view, come into your life and you embrace the unknown with so much joy.

Not knowing

mywords2228

How things will go next makes life hard sometimes, but it is not a reason to give up.

For it is not the time to settle for right now. This fight is not over, but it has just started again.

Because you are doing more and more and this time around, you won’t give up even when you slip up.

For Slip up is not a reason to just accept that you have failed again because there will always be slip-ups in my life and your life.

So let’s embrace them and keep going even though we never done this before. I know that I’m tired of saying what I want to change and nothing changing in the end.

I’m ready to say it and deliver it and then look back and say settling wasn’t an option this time, just action and following up on everything.

For I don’t want to be the reason I’m holding myself back anymore.

I guess I’ve

mywords2228

always wanted to shine like a star so that they would all notice me.

But I wasn’t ready for all the attention and noise all at the same time.

It all made me want to just sit down and crawl back into my shell to hide away from it all.

Until they forgot who I was and moved on in life because I am and maybe never will be ready to be out in the spotlight again.

Like a flash

mywords2228

Like a flash you’re on your way

to new things and better places.

You’re gone so quick sometimes

I wonder if I imagined you.

Your focus and quick decisions

let you accomplish so much

in the blink of an eye.

You have achieved everything

in so little time; and yet

I just wish you’d just slow down,

and appreciate what’s happening

all around you, right now.

Why do

mywords2228

You think you can spit your game at me so early in the morning.

Is it because the early worm gets the catch.

Well, I’m not the one to be caught by someone so slick.

So desperate it’s a game to you, and how many you can catch.

It has become more important than using your common sense.

In this muse of a mess called life, you choose to prey on the naïve and lonely in hopes to secure your heart for a couple of months or to bring your lies into an already hurt household.

Three Line Tales 246

three line tales, week 246: a pile of plastic toys

memories of when I used to play with toys and no that I have grown up

toys are not something I think about anymore as I spend my time doing more things then playing with toys and letting my imagination take over.

Toys will they come back into my life maybe when I have to buy them for someone else. For toys always come back some how and some way.

Does anything

mywords2228

100 Word Wednesday: 168

Image by Heather Mount

really even matter anymore

when it feels like no matter how safe you try to be things can still get you.

That no matter how you tell people do not do that

That they do it anyways.

Life is what you make of it and we are all born and we will all die.

But, what we make of our time here on earth is what matters.

But lately how can one go about doing that when people make life seem like a party

and in having fun you are endangering the ones you love.

For the sake of having a good time but will it matter that you had fun if you kill all those that loved and trusted you.

Will it matter that you can say this year wasn’t a complete waste because you enjoyed the dangers and came out of it but, did the other people around you come out of it too?

These nights

mywords2228

100 Word Wednesday: 163

sitting on our log looking out into the night has always been my favorite time.

As we caught up on each others days or weeks since sometimes seeing each other were more spaced out then before.

But I know that if I ever needed anything you would drop everything to make sure I got what I needed and more.

And I would do the same for you with no questioned asked and accept the circumstances that might come with this territory.
