On such

a cold day out

All I think of is a cup of Apple cider would be nice.

But, I have to wait for hours until I can touch something hot to my lips again.

Herewith the cold, bowing at me as I have to keep opening the window and all I wish I had something tasty to drink and to eat.

But, with no luck insight after 10 long hours, I finally have my hot drink insight with no seconds left to spare.

With my tummy now warm I’m now ready for bed.

I don’t

want to take the risk but at this point who am I pretending for.

I’m doing more harm than helping by sticking around today.

I’m lost in space and the truth is I’m not sure I want to find my way back to the disaster that hit us from side to side.

You can’t even step away for a second before it all goes downhill from there.

You start second-guessing everything and still, you can’t figure out what’s going on around you.

You know the problem isn’t you and yet still things are being thrown at you as if you need to be punished.

I remember

When things were simpler.

Now everything is out of wack and even when we figure things out it is still not enough.

It’s a win-loss situation and when we try to fight back it is still not worth it. 

So instead I just want to throw in my towel and move on with my life.

I know I deserve better and good times will come for me but right now I have to be patient and wait my turn.

The day was long and even when I solved the problem the person didn’t want to listen and in the end, all my work felt not appreciated.

Even though I know they don’t and won’t care either way for complaining is the thing they love the most.

I feel

a little broken lately

as my body grows weak.

And my legs hurt the most

as I stand up all day long moving forward and backward.

Not getting much of a break for I have so much to do and it all must be done.

I know that the day will go by quickly and I will hopefully get it all together in no time for I’m so ready to do more than I thought was possible.

It’s time to pick up my broken pieces and let them float away and grow new pieces along the way as I expand my life like never before.

I will take this chance and I will run with it for I know I am ready for a challenge and ready to get out of my comfort zone and embrace new things and see and meet new people too.

Sometimes it

takes team work to get  the right pose done right.

with just the right amount of patience anything can be succeed if we just both trust that we are capable of the strength needed to not only pull this off but to hold on a little longer than we intended  to.

Today was a good day not just for me but for you too.

Let’s end this week strong and know that there is always time for us to get it together while still supporting each other through this journey where our live continues to grow and be blessed.

Like debris

you are everywhere but yet not doing much.

You want to boss people around but yet can’t even do what you need to do.

You want to act as if you know it will all work out but stress about things you have no control over.

Nothing is ever good enough for you and that proves so much to me for if you had just a little more faith maybe than life would be so much better for you.

But you blame everyone else as if they are the very reason you are miserable but the truth is you are the one to blame not them but you.

It’s time you do something about your faults and do it quick for you are going to crash and burn and it won’t be pretty.

I can say we were better off without you for the stress was manageable and everyone was doing their jobs and we were a true team.

Like my life

 This foggy photo isn’t showing me where it’s going

Or even if I’m heading in the right direction.

All I want to do is know what is happening for the last couple of weeks

I’ve been in a mad house and no matter how hard I tried to get through it, it just got worse.

No clue how anyone could just give up but still except to get paid for doing nothing always made me realize their are two types of people no matter where you go.

And there always going to be the one you want to steer clear of but always end up stuck with and there is no easy way to escape them either.

The only hope is you can out run them in the fog and then disappear before they reappear in a situation you’ve been trying to avoid.

Today proved

That anything is possible and now it’s time to celebrate.

You are free and soon the headaches and stress will not be on your side anymore.

You will be able to do so much more because you just have to believe In yourself.

I know great things are happening for you and soon so much more for me too.

I know the struggle is real but as long as I know things are looking up it will be better.

Longer hours but, I can see the reward before the end.

Take me

mywords2228

 To that place that makes me feel alive.

Where the smile on my face can’t be swiped off my face even if you try.

To the place where I feel like nothing can hurt me.

Where I finally get some peace and quite.

Where my voice is strong and I am so sure of myself.

The place I so want to call home because when I’m there nothing bad can touch me and I am able to truly enjoy every moment of my day.

My life, and the music is always on and I’m always so chill.

Nothing brings on fear unless I have to leave this place and go back to the reality of a selfish world.

I so

need to get away and relax by the pool again before the weather really starts to get cold again.

I don’t want to face the mess that has been placed in front of me right now but what am I to do when all I want to do is get out of this place.

With no detection that I am about to go and not come back again, I want to be relaxed all the time and not stressing out to the maximum level anymore for there is so much more for me to live for now in the year 2019.

Relaxing finally!

Hoping

This moment wouldn’t end is an understatement.

For I haven’t felt this good in so long since I can remember coming to this place.

Taking a break from the craziness that is spinning all around me as everyone is either being lazy or trying to figure it out.

I know I should be grateful for my pass wasn’t always as good as it is right now.

But my head is spinning and the joy won’t last even if I hope it will.

Because this is my life an up and down moving train getting ready to either crash or slow down and break down for good.

We always

walked past this ally on our way to his house but did we ever stop and just look at what they did to this building.

No we just talked and maybe looked up or down to make sure no animals were out and about.

But, on this Wednesday afternoon we just happen to both look over and see what a mess they had made to what put up there tags and hope not to get caught as they mostly did it at night when these streets were less traveled on.

The owner probably knows but isn’t worried about at this point.

Wednesday!

It’s just

a fountain they said and you won’t remember it a couple weeks from now but It was so simple and delightful.

I just couldn’t stop thinking about the fountain as  the little boy sat on the turtle, it made me wish things were that calm and counted.

A time where I could just sit down and not worry about all the things pulling me in so many directions.

It would just be nice to just sit down and not have to get up for a little while and just feel at ease with taking the slower route today.

Let’s go

for a ride one last time before the weather gets too hot again and being outside for too long will be so unbearable.

I want to get lost in time and just ride around and find new things to explore and to take pictures of all the beauty around me with no care in the world about what is to come next in this life that is given to me.

All I know is I am grateful for the things I have and hopefully that everything thing else will just workout and I can keep going forward with nothing but hope on my side.

What a trip

It was that I took on a sunny day into a cave with one lantern.

With the hope of finding something inside or finding a piece of me I lost a long time ago.

I’m okay taking in this journey all on my own and I know there might be moments that I will feel afraid.

But, I know I am brave enough to keep going forward and find a way to keep enjoying these little moments that’s have been granted to me.
