Coming to realize that no matter how many chances.
You give someone they will either show you they are worth it or not.
The ability to walk away is so strong that I don’t care about the outcome anymore.

that song like you are trying to reach more than my heart today.
Play it as if you need to cleanse your soul of all the things you’ve done wrong.
Of all the songs you had to play this one and you looked at me the whole time.
As if you had to remind me that the song was about me.
The minute you walked on stage I knew I was a goner.
And because of that, I will remember this day and appreciate even the slightest things from you for I know.
Small or big everything you give me comes from your heart.

Far away that it just
not on my mind right now.
I know that I only have four days left
before reality kicks in and I go back to
doing not what I don’t love to do for doing what I love is too much to handle right now.
If only all the answers I was looking for would be answered before my world turns back into a mess at midnight on Monday.

Let go of the words that have been building up in me.
Feels so good that I can’t believe I hold them in so long.
Because now it feels like a dam of emotions have been set free and I am able to express and experience them all at my own pace.
No more rushing through the moment because you have someplace to go and something to do.
So your pain or worry is put on the back burning in the hope it will all work out at the end of the week or whenever.
Because you have to keep your head in the game in front of you.
Or else why have you’ve been working so hard if the facts all show you don’t care anymore.

Moment of waiting for so long has finally come.
The count down to not being stressed out has come.
No need to rush around and worry about being late or too early.
No need to lose your mind over getting things done in a certain time frame.
No need to schedule anything just let whatever going to happen next come true.
The need to do more than you are capable of doing isn’t going to happen this day or tomorrow.
So relax and sleep in and just be carefree for once and let everything else blow away like the leaves in the fall.

you want better for me and maybe it’s impossible for things to be better.
But, right now things feel stuck
And my lack of energy isn’t helping to make them better for me.
The ability to realize that things are getting out of hand.
Isn’t happening and no matter how much I try something always comes along and sidesteps all the work I do.
The battle to get ahead and make the most out of all we do is a struggle.
I know that my ability to do my best never seems enough but how can one complain when it’s clear as day what the real solution is.
It’s time to stop playing along and just quit the game and find something else to do.

all I need to do.
To make things right.
Smile more and life struggles will just fall away.
Smile more and you will see another day.
Smile more and your problems will seriously be last stressful or not as urgent as before.
I wish it was that simple because then I would definitely smile more.

pushing so much it feels like I’m about to break and I know you don’t care for it seems like nothing is ever going to please you.
You want everything to get done but there is only so much a person can do and now the fun feels more like resentment.
And the days are long and now there is not a moment in the day that I’m really enjoying myself because I just want to escape and get away.
The count down to finding a way out of this maze is on for I am ready to live with the treasure I deserve than the one I thought I wanted but don’t really need it.
But there are no words other than good bye and I won’t be coming back that are going to come out my mouth and for that I know the path will change for me and to where I don’t know.

tears come down for I know that letting it out does make things better.
Even if it’s just a temporary solution for you today.
I know that the time to let go and be lost in the moment has come for me.
I know that the tears only express half of how I feel right now but it’s just too much to let it all out at once right now.
So for now you will see me vulnerable but, when I have truly fallen apart you will not be lucky enough to see that moment or place.

by the things that are unfolding around me like night and day.
I know that I should want to do something about it but the truth is I have no fight left in me.
I’m just here to fill the time and the bank account because life seems to come with less free things and everything just seems to add up in the end.
I know that a lot is going right now but, I just need to get away and feel the air and heat and not worry about the time or energy it will take to get up and get around.
It’s time to take care of the things that will make me better and happier in the end.
Time to make the most out of the time that is given to me starting with not just looking out this window but being on the other side and not looking in but walking away and looking at all the things around me while the sun is still out.

Is what I am wearing all over me
little Flakes of blue
and lately I’m trying so hard not to down in the blues right now.
For I know summer is coming and hope it helps melt the ice that has been around me lately.
Holding me together as my world has become too much and no matter how hard I try to make it to the top their is always someone trying to pull me down.
So I stand here in the blue wondering if this how it’s going to be and will it last longer than I want it too.

the night of our weekly gathering has arrived.
It feels like it’s been a long time coming since we have all been in the same space.
I’m looking forward to the food and the laughs we will share and the hope of making more plans sooner rather than later.
I’m so excited I can’t stop thinking about what could happen and the joy not just I will feel but everyone that will be there tonight.
It’s going to be great I can feel the great vibes.

any moment you could fade from ones life and just like a bit of smoke or fog
you will be gone in a blank of an eye.
And in that moment will someone know you are gone or will they think of you later on when it’s too late.

in life are worth pausing for and truly thinking about what is next.
Maybe we don’t always have the time to pause and appreciate these little moments as much as we would like.
So today I want to pause and just let the world pass me by as I take the time to focus on me and not all that is going on.
And maybe I will like I’m living and not just stumbling along with everyone else as life goes from one day to the next day.

many colors
so much joy
so much to look forward too.
When the weather is just right
and going outside would be a all day thing that you don’t have question if this day will be memorable because you will know it is and the colors will be the first thing you think of when you remember that day.
