#124 -Barter
This weekend the challenge is to write a poem or a piece of prose in exactly 11 words.
I traded my dreams for I knew I would regret it.

this pain would pass if I just embrace the journey ahead of me but, I feel sometimes I get discouraged.
Because the storm comes without a warning and before I know what is going on I am stuck in a situation I can’t seem to figure out how to escape.
The days are long and the nights are short as the weekend I so surely enjoyed come to an end and the reality of frustration comes back in focus with no hope of being pleasant.
I just grin and bear the pain of knowing all of this is not worth the stress and unbalanced feeling that keeps growing inside of me as I lose another part of me each day I am there.

What do you mean to me
a time to relax and get lost in a book.
To laugh and enjoy a movie or two
To stop thinking and just let the day go by.
To have fun and let loose the stress of the week
from my shoulders.
To truly breath for once since the demands of beginning of the week.
