What am

I to say when your words have turned the warmth inside of me into ice.

It’s hard for me sometimes to see the light in the day when all I hear is the words of someone who doesn’t see the real problem in this situation.

So many complaints and suffering  going all around and yet no one sees the truth is right in front of them.

There is not just one reason the place is falling apart but there have become more cracks and those cracks are not getting smaller but are getting wider  and wider as the days go on.

I don’t hold on to anything these days and I can’t be mad at your words or care about the drama you want to bring for my head and my heart are already out the door.

I am physically in the building but mentally I have checked out and I am just moving to the beat of the robot I have become to get the job done.

But who I am and what I want to be is not here and the minutes and days are counting down until I too can be free physically from this place that tries so many times to steal what makes me, me and at the end of the day it’s I who has to answer to the call of being stressed out about whatever it is they want.

To be their puppet and robot is truly taking a toll on me and I hope just one day things will change for the better as soon as I find the break I need to escape and walk way from something that never really needed to be in my life this long.

 100 Word Wednesday: Week 135

Image by Cyranny

 at those stairs how crazy would it be to walk on them, like life sometimes things can get all twisted up.

And you just can’t seem to find your way out of the mess that you never really wanted in the first place.

But here you are struggling to make things right again but every move you make things get shuffled around and before you know it your dealing with another complicated situation with no solution insight.

Arriving

on time is all I can do to get through these shifts  and finding a perfect spot is even harder these days.

But arriving just a little bit early always gets me the spot I need for when it’s time to leave I want it to be so quickly that no one can catch me when I’m gone.

To come and see what the day has to offer me is great and all but, once it’s time to leave I really enjoy the peace of walking away and leaving all the stress behind and letting others deal with what I’ve been carry around all day.

In my darkest hour you are there for me.

In the morning when I first wake up to the moment I have to actually get out of bed.

I know that no matter what time of day it is you will get up and walk with me.

Every adventure  I just have to mention and you will have already decided you are going and there will be no if’s about it.

You protect me and everyway and every day and there is not a moment I’m not grateful for your help and your love.

So today and everyday to come I know you will get me through it, no matter how dark it is for when I’m scared you are there to hold my hand and hug me when I need it the most.

Look in

the mirror

what do you see?

I know you don’t see me

so why do you feel I should do what you do.

I know that I may be lost but I know I don’t want to be you.

I know I want to live up to whatever it is I will end up doing in the end but for now I will live for my God and let you be you.

I know that I  will pray for you but I can’t keep being the voice of reason to you because if you just trust and believe these things that feel impossible would be possible just give it time .

Everyday is a battle and no matter who the leader is I am fighting for me and not trying to make them look goof I am just doing what I know is right because that is all I know to do.

I didn’t want things to be this way

but you choose to be this way for you drive yourself crazy

like someone is watching you.

But, the truth is no one is worry about you and your insecurities are lighting fires in places you don’t want them to be started.

And all I want to do is tell you to calm down or shut up and let us do our jobs for through the many storms we have gotten through them all.

I want to maybe help you out but at the same time I’m so tired of all the complaining coming out of your mouth right now.

I just want to keep my head down and kind of fade into the background so you won’t know if I’m still around.

Just to get some peace of mind because the pile of shit you keep putting out is becoming too much and I just don’t want to deal with it since it’s more your problem than it is mine.

So for once I’m just gonna walk a way and let you handle it for I’m not fighting and finishing your battles anymore.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 132

Image by Bikurgurl

To my ears as you play some jazz on the entry of the woods on a sunny day with no care in the world.

You played your saxophone with so much talent through your fingers and you mouth as you blow out a note or two.

You are at some much ease as you get in your groove and play on and on until you have drawn so a crowd of people some of them start to disappear as they start farther back into the woods.

so long ago that I was playing on a playground and it keeps me busy as I ran around with my sisters and friends, to just laugh and enjoy the little things in life. 

To just enjoy the sun shining so brightly and the fresh air all around us as we played for hours and then the minute the street lights came on we would run home and rest up for tomorrow would be another opportunity to play again. 

The joy of being young and hopeful that my future was so bright and nothing would end up getting in my way.

The

moment was short

but now it’s over and I look forward to what is to become.

I know that this is a new journey for me and the hope of things finally

working out the way I need it too is so high.

I feel like I am floating on clouds as everything is going so smoothly.

No alarms going off just birds singing me praises as they see the smile on my face.

No complaints coming from my lip as the day goes on.

Just quietness of life just blooming all around and no more just surviving through the day but truly living and enjoying the moment up ahead of me.

I don’t

want to keep blaming everyone but myself when things go wrong.

I know that right now things are a mess but things will look up when I get though this day.

I know that today is making me rethink about everything that happen so far this year and it’s making me realize it’s time to move on from this chapter.

I can’t say that I will miss the place I am at right now but, I know the sky and the air will be so much brighter and fresh when I walk out of that place and take in the new things that will surely come into my life.

I know I don’t want to complain anymore because I’m at the end of my rope and I just want something new to happen and I want it to happen soon please.

Only time will tell if my plan has worked and I am free from the chains that have been holding me back this whole time.

It’s

time to get up and not let those things that are trying to put you down.

Be allowed to control your mood and ability to get up and enjoy life anymore.

It’s time to let the inner warrior come out and not go back until you have won all the battles that are making you second guess what you want in life and what you need in your life right now.

It’s time to smile more and stress less as the day begins to whine down and the calm is in the air it is time to reflect on the things in your life that make you who you are or who you are going to be.

want to keep trying to make things seem that there is no darkness lurking in the background.

But, the truth is  the darkness is always there but, I choose to let it be there and to let the light out shine it most days.

Today I hope will be different because I feel different the moment I stood and walked outside with the light.

I felt something inside me wake up again and the change that I’ve been waiting for was just arriving and the beginning to something more than even I could imagine would happen to me.

I once was down and didn’t believe anyone was looking out for me but, today God has shown me that I am more than what I thought I was worth.

Can’t

say this is what I want to say.

But these are the  words that want to come out

and maybe they aren’t helping anyone anyways so why over share I say.

This moment could be big and beautiful or it  could be kind of ugly and full of things no one really wants to deal with.

You think this just isn’t worth your time but in the long run my way will get you off the streets of trouble and on to the freeway of freedom.

But first, you must walk away from the things that do don’t make you who you are supposed to be.

Stop settling because of others will suffer without you. And just do you for those same people aren’t gonna always have your back.

of all the people around me not doing anything but taking all the credit in the end.

Smiling in my face as if you are something great.

Saying how hard you work to make things great.

Trying to make it all seem okay on your end but in the long run it’s you that is the problem and I am here to find the solution.

But, no matter how much I work to make things great for others.

You will always be the brick in my way and even as I pick you up and throw you away.

When I wake up in the morning there you are again staring me down in the morning as if I am the one who is wrong.

I do more than I should and yet all I get is misery and depends to do more for you who will do nothing compared to what I do for you.

Fair will never be a word I will use with you, and the fact that you turn around and get rude with someone else is really a joke for you have no space to judge and demand more from others when you can’t do the same.

You are supposed to be a leader but the truth is no one is leading anyone in this circus  and soon the lion will get us all.

I thought

I knew the right words to say.

But as I stand here today looking out on everything I’ve worked so hard for the real question is it worth it now.

As someone else comes in and just trash the place it feels like there is no hope.

And it’s time to just let it fall apart all around me like an abandoned building just one little touch abs every falls down.

No evidence left to identify what this place used to be like.

At this point its a distance memory of what it used to be and it will not ever be as great again.

To the past and getting away from the present to get to a better future for the walls are crumbling around me now and its time to let go before I crumb too.
