the time out to just enjoy the little things like seeing a field of flowers and seeing the excitement on my face like when I was a child and experienced something new for the first time. 

I know that enjoying this moment while I can is a real joy and right now I’m lucky to just enjoy something so beautiful and be in that moment the whole time. 

My mind was empty and clear and the peace and shine of this day fell over me like a blanket keeping me warm.

I hoped for seems so far way.

Like a story that is only half written and it is up to me to finish it.

But, there is always something that gets in the way and yet it’s always up to me to fix it.

I’m not the fixer up type and I won’t be your plan B or option 1 or 2 when you have no one else.

The answer is not yes and probably will be a no and will I feel sorry no I won’t.

Too tired to care about the things that are not going your way or mine at this moment.

I realize that I probably won’t last as long as you want me too because I’m just tired and I know I’m strong enough to get through it all but why should I.

I don’t care about the money or the time, I just want a piece of mind at the end of the day.

I guess I know that there are higher and better things for me to do than deal with the things that will be left behind when I’m gone from this place.

Never ending cycle of unanswered questions are running though my mind right now.

As problem after problem surrounds me I know I need to slow down and be grateful for what I can do and  not complain about what I can’t do.

All I can hope is that the outcome will turn around in the end so the results will be so much better.

What

mywords2228

is life if not for you God.

is it nothing without you?

Do we sometimes think we run the day or control people because what we say goes.

Do we lose sight of what is really important to us because of what others have going on in their lives.

Do we want to live our life or do we want to live their life?

I know I’m fighting to get my life in order because I know I will be the only one who cares about what happens to me now or years down the road.

Always

mywords2228

Letting the good out weight the bad

with a smile on your face .

You know that life can be bad but you keep your head up  always.

You don’t let anyone push you around  and you always there for others even those that don’t appreciate all you do for them.

You don’t do it for attention but from the goodness of your heart.

You will always be everyone’s biggest cheerleader and that I am so grateful for because without your pushing I would still be procrastinating what I want.

Instead I’m actually making a plan and laying it all out and soon I will be fulfilling this goal.

So I am so grateful for all your support and giving me that extra push when I was just about to give up.

news of the Notre-Dame in Paris going up in flames, makes you  stop and appreciate the things that have always been around and maybe lately you have not thought about.

Until something happens and makes you stop and drop everything to make things better and great before it’s too late to connect again.

Only in time will it heal and be able to rebuild and become great again but without the love and care and attention it could all change for the worst, so lets all stop and help out for once.

That

night on that road was a night I would not forget.

I knew it was getting late and I needed to get back soon.

Because, around here when it gets too dark that curve because more dangerous and scary.

With just enough light to guide my way as the night stars were out and I was just heading home.

I made it but driving slowly towards that cross walk made me feel as if I was testing my fate a little because I knew the risk but waited anyway to go home late that night.

And my story  could have changed and I knew it would not be for the better.

a manikin I felt so naked that day in front of all those people when the words I needed to say would not come out.

And there you were looking so calm in the front row sit smiling up at me and encouraging me with your smile to continue on and to not give up or feel down when I happen to stumble over my words.

That day was just the beginning of you being by my side and cheering me on, I know now you were like my guardian angel watching over me when no one else did.

Being out there!

On

mywords2228

your time we are late like the spring weather.

Were moving slower than the breeze blowing through this area making the weather great.

I want to yell for you to wake up so we can get a move on it.

But, I feel like all you are doing is bringing  us all down and stress level is so high I feel like I could just burst any moment now from all the anger rocking inside my body.

Right now my temper is at the edge and I would love to just let it out or for it to go away and the calm of yesterday come over me again.

many letters will it take for me to get out of this mess I’m in?

Will the clever ways I use to spell and design something for you be good enough or will I stay on your bad side and what is happening right now just something of the past. 

I see so many and so much can be done and I just don’t care if I get to use it everyday or e every week I just know that I need to use them and do something different for once this time once and for all.

How many

Poetry

I

mywords2228

Can’t say what is going on with me.

For I don’t even truly know but, I can’t just sit still because the world won’t wait for me.

To get it together and so I push on and use the pain and unknown feelings to push past it all to get by.

But, sooner or later it will all catch up to me and I really don’t know how to handle the strong winds that will blow through my life.

Turning up everything that I thought was leading to the right path.

the bridge we go again

traveling to a place that suits us.

A place that makes us happy and fulfilled because at the end we know this place that we are driving away from wasn’t the place for us.

We now have the opportunity to see what other places can show us and what we can show new people and places what we are capable of.

It’s time to stop holding back and doing something we love and not be stuck in a place that makes you feel so much hatred in your heart.

Every

mywords2228

Second counts they say.

But, last night felt like every second and minute was against us.

Running around like there was so hope insight but, none to come.

One problem after another and then there  would be a solution and as soon as it’s solved someone else would show up.

But, the smile was on your face even though now it was focused.

You continued to do what needed to be done even though you knew the result wouldn’t look good.

Yet, you couldn’t give up even when it was getting harder to deal with.

Every turn was a rush and every breath was short before another word was spoken.

I see

mywords2228

how miserable you are and yet you continue to go down this route.

Stop and think about the things you have been blessed with.

And then go back to that moment when you felt not happy.

And I hope you realize the little things come and go but, it’s your attitude that’s the real problem.

Stop!

letting the things uncontrollable control your every move.

Like a predator stalking its prey, not one to give up when the chase has already taken to long.

Open your eyes and stop doing or saying things you don’t understand and start to learn them instead.

You want to go far than get up and do the hard work.

The end result won’t show up on its own!

I don’t

mywords2228

want to be trapped in this space where no matter how long I run around.

Nothing seems to get done and I’m going mad and I don’t know  how much  longer I can keep falling and pulling myself back up just to survive with the same results all the time.

I no longer know who I am for I have become this robot doing what they expect me to do.

When all I want to do is run and not look back not even when they call my name .

There isn’t anything left to hold on to I’m at my breaking point and the light that shines in me is dying each and every day.

The need for change is so strong that I can’t keep sitting around waiting for it to come to me.

It’s time to move forward faster than I even thought possible because if I don’t the rope holding me up will snap.

Turning me from a swan to a monster no one can control.
