How do

I do what I want to do

when half the time I get easily distracted

By basically any little thing that comes my way.

Even when I have made a plan and sit down to do it.

Some how I have a good start and then something else pulls me away

as if doing what I do has a time limit.

And one good, is all I get now.

So am I really doing what I do?

Your comedy wasn’t as funny as I thought it would be

I felt it was more cruel than entertaining.

The things that came out your mouth was so hard to hear

and listen too.

I wasn’t the only one shocked and horrified as the night went on

it didn’t get better.

And so I walked out and tried to forget about the things that hurt my ears all night.

Daily Prompt: Panicked

It had been days since we last talked and it didn’t end well

And I panicked that you wouldn’t talk to me again.

But, I know I’d wait around waiting to hear from you because

you meant that much to me.

However, I had got such a great job offer and so I’d be leaving

behind everything that I grew up with.

For a great opportunity and I didn’t know if you would meet up

with me before I left.

But, somehow you reached out before I could and the panic feeling I had

been holding onto and carrying around with me each day.

Just evaporated and I was free and I had my friend back and before I left

we ended on such a right note that I was so excited to come back and visit.

As, I boarded the plane that day I smiled and knew everything would be okay

on this new journey in my life.
