To be loyal to the people close to you
is something that is important to some.
Being loyal doesn’t just stop with humans
Your pet can be loyal to you as well and even when they like others
at the end of the day your their family and to them your home.
Being loyal to others is something you want to be because, you care for one another and in the end you just want the best for each other.

do I need to write to get your attention
for I don’t know how much creativity is left in me right now.
I may have to take a break and come back to write something that will finally catch your eye.
I’m trying to be who you need me to be right now but, how can I be when the hope and magic that once put a fire under me that burned to strong.
Nothing could stop me from writing for my fingers just needed to type or write on a piece of paper.
And now the thoughts don’t come out or my fingers just don’t feel inspired anymore and even when I do write something good the flow just doesn’t continue on.
It ends with that piece and the next time I think of writing it just feels like I’m poking at a fire that has been gone out in the hopes that it will start-up again.
And the writing and the feeling inside of me will feel the same again and all my work and hopes won’t be so discouraged.
But, every time things slow do that feeling of dread comes over me and I just can’t seem to go on but yet I sit here knowing I’m beyond tired but yet my body and soul has yet to give up even when I know it’s time for me to move forward.
It’s time for me to finally rest my eyes and sleep a little longer for its time to stop fighting and just give up.
The tears will stop falling and I will slowly become strong and closed off again but, right the feeling of being alone doesn’t bother me as much as it used too.

He was tempted by her smile and the small lick of her lips.
And he was a goner
he never had a chance to get away,
he was hers with just that one look.
She knew with one kiss he would be hers and he would regret it but,for now she was going to have some fun.
He felt fine at first until he was all alone and everyone was Turning their backs on him.
Warning him that she was bad news and needed to leave her for they know what’s best for him.
And at first he didn’t want to listen to them but, soon standing outside in the rain he saw what she could do to a guy.
And he ran so fast and so hard that he didn’t stop until he got home.
With one call he ended things and he knew if he was tempted again he wouldn’t say yes to a smile that looked to good to be true.

She wore a mask that cloaked all her insecurities from the world
she just needed to be hidden from all the eyes that watched her even if it was just for a little while.
She had so much going on she didn’t need to draw anymore attention to herself, so she did everything that was possible to hide in the shadows of her life just to get by.
She didn’t want many to get to close and find out her true deep and darkest secrets.
But, it was getting harder and harder to push people away when all she wanted was someone to hear her out and be there for her.

Is happening all around
and yes we want to stop it.
Even if we do someone else will come along
and come up with a new scam.
That fools someone to believe they are helping out or making more money.
They never seem to think twice for they believe that what they are doing is true
and real and in the end they will save more than they ever could dream of.
Until one day that person disappears and all that money you had invested is gone and the dream is now pushed back until you can start building up what you loss that day.

Write three lines inspired by the photo prompt (& give them a title if possible).
If only I had known this was the sign I was looking for, I would have looked closer to the details of who you are.
I would be so much happier now, and you would be mine and the days spent apart would be no more.
Every moment with you would be a sign that what I’ve been looking for was right in front of my face, always smiling and hugging me when I was down and lifting me up again.

I would do anything for you, like make you breakfast on your days off
or do your errands for you so you can just relax a little bit longer.
I know you work so hard so that life could be so much easier for us and for that I would do any little thing just so you feel appreciated when you start to think why am I working so hard.
I’d do anything just to see that handsome smile on your face, to hear your laugh and be wrapped in your arms.

They said you were special the moment they laid eyes on you
the cutest baby they had ever seen.
You always seemed to be so happy
and the talent that came out of you from a young age, blew their minds.
They knew that everything you did would be good and amazing
nothing you did was half done.
You did everything to full amount and you didn’t ever give up when you weren’t good at something the first time around.
Sometimes they describe you as extraordinary but, you just smile and say you’re just like everyone else.
You have passion for the things you love to do and a dream you hope to accomplish and to you so does everyone else and if that makes you special than it makes everyone else special too.

So many things she wanted to change
just so that she could fit in.
No one told her, she had to be that way
but she felt that the pressure of feeling left out and she didn’t want to be alone anymore.
And so she broke herself to just be someone she couldn’t possibly ever be and in all the things she did.
What she became in the end was broken and lost and even though she was surrounded by all these new people.
The light that used to shine so bright through her now has dimmed out to the point she just a shell of a girl she used to be.
Empty and closed off she stood by the fire, wishing she could feel that light again.

You try to be more than you are but, lately I see how empty you are
The joy that I guess you were pretending to be having has slowly but surely faded away.
I wish I could find a way to fill you up again with joy that could put a smile on your face again.

We believe in you
but you must believe in yourself.
In order for your dreams to come true in the end.
So many things to believe in.
So many things try to stand in your way when you believe in God sometimes
But, so many good things can come from believing in him.
Life has so many things we want to believe in for we want to do so much.
And experience the things that are so great and interesting.

the hope I was looking for.
The peace I needed to wash over me
the smile that lifted up my spirit after a long day.
The arms that picked me up when I couldn’t go on anymore
The joke I needed to hear, so that I could laugh again.
The eraser I needed to erase all the things that didn’t matter anymore from my brain and my devices.
Your one of the reasons I have a new beginning and hope that everything will workout.
You’re the reason I’m still fighting this thing called life.
Living for me because you gave up your life for me, trying to do what’s right and praying that things will get better but that I will take something away from all that has happened to me.
I won’t give up for you are there for me now as you were there for me than.

Your always so flexible with your time
there is nothing that can be thrown at you.
That you can’t find a way to make time for it.
You don’t overwork yourself but you just have the right amount of time and advise to give to those that you love.
Your door is always opened and your arms are always welcoming someone in for a hug
and your smile is always so bright and reaches your eyes.
There never seems to be a moment when you let other things get in your way, you are flexible for you have done so much and lived so long and enjoyed all that you were set out to see.
That now your ready to be put in one spot and you want to help out as much as you can and be true to all that have helped you over the years or months.

I know it will all workout even after
All the hard work I’ve done.
Should I patiently wait and see how it will work out.
Or should I take matters into my own hands and make sure it all works out.
Sometimes my patience is limited and the time it takes to wait feels like forever and ever.
And as I become inpatient, the more my anxiety kicks in on how these results will turn out for me.
For the doubt starts to worm his way in and all I can think of is this is going to end badly.
And most time it all works out and I tell myself to just have a little bit more faith next time.
And sometimes I remember that whatever happens I am capable of handling it all for my God is good all the time.

want to be loved and understood and heard.
But, while we we’re looking for others to pay attention to us so that we feel important.
All we get is disappointment and nothing to gain but so much to lose.
If we just accept that we are already loved and we are already someone important.
Then doing what we love will make us feel this feeling that no one in this world could give us and they surely wouldn’t be able to take it away.
I’m a loner and lately it hasn’t been that bad for I’ve found my happiness on my own and I’m relying more on my God and myself now.
Yes, I still like to talk to others but the overwhelming feeling that used to eat me up inside unless I talk to someone is gone.
And I don’t try that hard anymore and maybe I don’t care that much either.
But, I’m still me if you ever still need me, I’m still here fighting and letting go of the things I can’t control.
