Daily Prompt: Planet

mywords2228

This planet we live on can bring us some of the most beautiful moments of our life.

And then there moments that tear us apart and make us realize that this planet can take away what we have built for ourselves.

The moments when things fall apart, we always have a choose to have faith that things will work out.

To look up at the blue calm sky and smell the fresh air each day and to be lucky enough to spend it with the one’s you love each and everyday.

This planet is my home and I will continue to cherish the moments I get to spend on this place call earth.

And try my best to not harm it anymore than we already do.

Daily Prompt: Irrelevant

mywords2228

So many things become irrelevant as you realize the most important things in life aren’t the things you can buy.

So much hype about things that maybe you need them when life knocks you on your butt and it shocks you to the core.

That nothing can distant you from this feeling you are feeling inside right now and even though you have to move on with your life.

You know that nothing will ever be the same again.

I can’t believe the cool pictures this book has and to think I didn’t really like reading until now.

I was just blown away by all the cool things I learned and I just couldn’t wait to tell my cousins all about it.

Today is just the best day ever!

October is almost here the month of Halloween

the one time of year everyone wants to dress up.

And celebrate and create something spooky or cool

so here I am creating this cool skeleton jelly.

I didn’t think it would turn out so great and even better it taste just so good

that everyone wanted more and depended I make it at my annual Halloween party this year.

I’m looking forward to some spooky creation to appear for October is one of my favorite months.

Poetry

I could

mywords2228

use your touch as the memories come to my mind

and the tears begin to fall.

Moving forward alone just doesn’t seem so possible right now

so hold me close and give me the comfort I need so much lately.

I want to get lost inside my thoughts but the truth and reality is too strong

I can’t pretend that everything is okay right now.

I know that I need to have the joy and love that will outweigh the sorrow I feel

so come to me and wrap me up inside your arms and hold me until I stand on my own.

And even then still hold my hand and guide me through the things I’m still not strong enough to deal with right now.

Daily Prompt: tentative

mywords2228

She was so uncertain of the decision she had made.

And there was no time to turn around and walk away.

She had to get on that stage and say what was on her mind and what was in her heart.

As she spoke the uncertain faded away as everything spilled out.

And when it was time for her to get off stage every person seemed to have tears in their eyes.

As they stood up and clapped for her and afterwards all she heard was praises.

She decided that day she wouldn’t be uncertain anymore about that things she felt so much about.

For, they were the things she was meant to do and be good at.

Daily Prompt: Glorious

mywords2228

It was a glorious day outside

and for the first time she was looking forward to the day ahead.

The nice breeze as she takes a stroll in the morning before she starts her day

was like a wake up call to her.

She smiled more as the day went on, all the little things that would have bothered her just didn’t matter anymore.

This day was more than she had expected and she was grateful to be able to enjoy it.

No more

mywords2228

words can come out of my mouth

or float in mind as the day goes on.

And everything about me just shuts down inside

with no hope to surface until the day I’ve been waiting for comes.

The things that were so thought out just don’t matter and the pain just makes it all seem so not worth it.

I can barely focus on today and I still have a tomorrow to deal with.

Daily Prompt: Thorny

mywords2228

Her words were so sharp

that it felt like I had fallen into a bush of many thorns.

And no matter how many times I tried to get up, it would just cause more pain

as my hands touched more thorns.

As I finally rolled over and fall to the ground safe from the pain.

I looked up to try to ask you why you had been so harsh to me but,you were gone

and it all seems like a dream because you were gone before I knew what had happened.

Daily Prompt: Penchant

mywords2228

I have a strong passion for writing and just letting it all out

until I’ve drained every emotion inside me.

That sometimes I have to take a break from writing for I’m just burned out but, sometimes even then I keep trying to come up with something.

Through my writing I find understanding, healing and freedom to just be who I want to be and write the way that feels good to me.

No walls are left standing when I get through writing about the reality of my life or coming up with something clever in the moment.

To have that feeling when a piece is just so great that you believe and trust no matter how many people enjoyed it, it was something great because you felt the greatness before you hit that publish button.

It’s one of the things you look forward to get to do everyday and night, even times when you’re so tired.

You just drag yourself to write a piece short and sweet because you just need to write and leave your mark out there for another day.

Can you feel

mywords2228

the feeling of the music pouring all over me and my once tired body

is moving and awake like it hasn’t been interrupted the last couple of days

from the noise of rude neighbors.

Can you feel the world just being so much brighter now than before when all you wanted to do was lay in bed and fall back to sleep and not care if you wasted the whole day away.

You tried so hard to block out the noise and at last it worked but the hours that you had missed out on really took a toll on your body.

But, as the day goes on you have so much more energy than you had before and you feel like you can do so much.

You can feel your life taking back control of the things that are bothering you and you start to do the things you used to do again.

You feel alive and refreshed and hopeful as the music beats to everything going on in your life or things that don’t but you believe and trust it will all workout.

So for a little while you forget all the things that have been bugging you for so long, and you feel lighter when the song is over and the next one is just as strong.

You walk away with a smile on your face and all the things that had pissed you off now don’t seem that big of a deal.

Daily Prompt: Disobey

mywords2228

As a child disobeying your parent meant that you would be punished

for you knew what he shouldn’t do.

But, you  do it anyways for the feeling of getting caught was just to great to sit around and be good all the time.

You hoped you would get away with the act but sometimes you get caught and you have to accept the punishment that comes with the crime.

And you learn from your mistakes and maybe try a different way than you did last time and maybe this time you won’t get caught.

Daily Prompt: Disobey

Poetry

I’d like

mywords2228

to say I had a reason for walking  away from you that day

and that reason is the reason I’m so happy as I am today.

I am at peace and I know my worth and my hope is that I am

as strong as I was that day, because I have so much more to face today than I had back then.

The reason wouldn’t matter to you for you saw it as a weakness at the time for walking away from you was like ending a career right when things were getting good.

But, in reality it was more like deciding that money isn’t more important than taking care of myself.

For you can’t be good at what you love to do if your mind and heart are not in the right place.

Daily Prompt: Peculiar

mywords2228

She was unusually quiet today

That smile that brighten up rooms

was nowhere to be found.

Everyone was waiting for her to let them in on what was bothering her

but she never said a word to anyone and just stared on like she was dead inside.

It was like someone had knocked out the light inside of her and it was freaky to see such a happy person walk around like something was draining her down.

She worked as hard as before but the smile and laugh you loved to see and hear was gone.

She swear you heard her say something but yet the voice didn’t quite sound like her, she was the fresh air when you walked out your door and the sweet sounds of birds in the morning.

The cool breeze on a super hot day, she was the spring to the worst winter you had ever seen.

And now you felt so lost and the steps to figure it out just don’t seem possible when your light has dimmed and she isn’t there to guide you through this path your on now.
