She is

 So full of life and the energy she has never seems to dim down.

She knows the cold is coming and she refuses to let that damper her day or night.

She will keep going forward no matter how much someone tries to come for her.

Her smile along can weaken any evil thing around her, for her light outshines them all .

There is not one dark moment that ever truly brought her down for long.

She is the happiness and good energy I want to see in myself when the days become too dark and cold.

away my troubles

I wish it was that easy.

My frustration is growing

so much that its beginning to be out of my control.

I just want to feel at ease and not overloaded at

every corner with no luck of surviving this mess.

Am at my end rope and I’m not worrying about the outcome anymore for if I can just get through one more day that would be just great.

 Sunday Writing Prompt “Phone Call”

from you again.

So when you called me it was such a surprise

That I almost dropped my phone and ending the call before it started.

You said you’ve missed me and it’s been long enough since the last time we’ve talked.

I didn’t know what you expected me to say since I haven’t thought much about you since that day we no longer were friends.

A friendship that felt so right, we were so connected and the trust was so strong it was like we were meant to be friends for life.

But, that all changed and I’m fine with how life turned out for me once you were gone.

 You apologize for how things ended and ask if we can start talking again?

I didn’t want to say yes but saying no felt like I had been holding a grudge against you all these years.

But I haven’t been because I didn’t think about you at all and if I did it was once in a blue moon.

So I said yes but told you don’t expect much from me for I’m not the same person you used to know.

Am I

mywords2228

to know how things will become when I make the right steps that need to be taken at this point in my life.

I know there is something more for me to do but, I am stuck at a crossroad with no idea which way to go.

Mornings come and go and afternoons seem like they pass too slowly.

evenings and nights seem too long and tiring and yet I’m not doing anything that could help me spend my time doing something meaningful.

To see the problem so clearly but not have a solution to solve it makes things so frustrating.

Yet I have hope that it will work out in the end because I will find the strength to get out before this bridge crumbles on its own.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 95

We were so much alive with so much energy to go around.

We didn’t mind sharing our time with those that we love and care about.

We didn’t have a moment when we didn’t have anything to say to one another for we really just enjoyed spending time together.

For this time of year was our favorite time of year and we just had to decorate and show our spooky spirit done to just the bones.

The lights casted creepy scary shadows all night long no matter where you looked they would turn their heads and watch your every movement.

You’ll find full guidelines on the TLT page – here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write three lines inspired by the photo prompt (& give them a title if possible).
  • Link back to this post (& check the link shows up under the weekly post).
  • Tag your post with 3LineTales (so everyone can find you in the Reader).

Even though we are so close my unique style always set me apart when it comes to you, my  bright colors always made me be the first one they pick and you always second.

You didn’t care for how bright I was for with all that I had going on the outside you felt there is was something I was hiding in the inside and you just needed to know.

Even though we were different and people pick me most of the time you know how I feel towards you and that’s, that we are still there for each other in the end for I care for you my friend.

I

remember the first flower you ever gave me and how you smiled so sweetly at me that day.

You melted my cold heart that day giving it back the heat it needed to keep warm and beat strong inside of me.

The days of it just being me were long ago as my days became me and you always smiling and explore new things together.

Not wasting a moment together to see and experience what life has to offer us and taking risk left and right because well we only live once.

There wasn’t a dull moment with us and every moment was worth taking a picture of for the memories were breath-taking for me.

That flower shined so bright just like you and the smile that was always pasted on your face when you saw me.

Long day!

Even though I am so tired I want to walk to walk off my frustration from this day and from this week that is almost over.

How hard can I work when I physically feel my body aching and I get sick to my stomach when I think of going back, I know this is not normal but yet I put myself through this torture everyday and week.

I thought things were getting better but, now it feels like I’m living in hell full-time and there is no benefits.

Long day!

Poetry

Daily Prompt: Archaic

mywords2228

Sometimes I know I’ve seen better days and I’ve felt better on better days.

Every bit of energy I got left inside of me is trying to hold on for there is still so much left for me to do that I just can’t be discarded right now.

But, in the eyes of some I have been discarded and thrown out with the rest of their memories.

And only when someone reminds them or mentions me do they remember who I am or who I was to them.

Old and tired  here I stand looking around as the world goes by and new things replace me and yet here I am to remind you of the good old days and what those days meant to you.

Anywhere

mywords2228

I rather be right now than here in the darkness that swallows me whole with no exit insight.

I sit here trying to think of a way out because it feels like I’m suffocating on all that is pushing up against me.

This solution is not an answer to my situation and so I’m back at square one and it feels like I’m running out of time and air around me.

As I slowly fall down and down like black hole that you can’t see the bottom and so when will I hit the spot that tells me this is solved and over with.

Nothing to help me pull my way back up, right now it feels like a losing battle for me and as I fall I start to think about the things that have come before this moment and time.

Was there a time that I could have stopped myself from falling into this danger that just eats me alive and ends up with me being nothing in the end.

Feeling

mywords2228

a little lost after spending so much time on the move that when one slows down.

It’s like I’ve missed so much while the people who demand so much of me don’t care as I lose myself for the person I see in the mirror these days are a stranger.

Her eye’s always looking so tired and sad that I wonder what others see when they see her every day.

Do they see her cry for help because all she wants to do is escape?
And not be trapped in this space of feeling like a stranger in her own body.

The sweet and innocent person is now so sad and angry or just too tired to care at all what she is.

Not letting anyone walk over her, she has become so hard.
It’s so hard to be soft towards anyone for her guard is always up now.

She feels like nothing good is coming from her new change and fears her sometime good time will soon turn into nothing but nasty and unfortunate events.

Daily Prompt: Skewed

mywords2228

You knew something was going on when she just had a sudden change of her mind.

You had known her for a long time and her barely ever changed her mind.

She was stubborn that way and always that if she couldn’t decide then it wasn’t meant to be.

She was always thought long and hard before letting anyone know her secrets and announcements.

Daily Prompt: Observe

mywords2228

I observe you from afar and what I’ve learned is you are a person who has to put up a shield and hide certain things just to get through the day.

You are kind and sweet but certain things in your life has left you bitter and angry and as much as you want to fight the battle feels like a losing one.

The misery you feel just keeps growing day by day and you no longer smile like you used to.

You are broken and I so want to help you but, like everyone else, I am on the other side of the wall you put up to protect yourself.

The pain I see it flick every now and then through your sad and blank brown eyes, I want to so bad to erase that pain you feel for once and for all.

Maybe one day you will let me in and then things will be different between us and you will smile again and the wall will be down at least for me.

Daily Prompt: Astonish

mywords2228

His actions surprised me with great wonder for he had not acted this way before.

So grumpy and quite rude that you just started to wonder what could have brought now this nasty mood change.

But, the situation to that problem would have to wait as you have so much on your plate to deal with now that you can’t stop and help brighten his mood today.

I know

mywords2228

it’s late but I just needed to get this off my chest.

I miss you and I wish I could talk to you about everything.

But, I can’t seem to be able to find you and I wonder if I ever will.

You will be one of the people who know everything and nothing I say or do will keep you away.

I know that at times it will suck because of our schedules won’t match but I will make time for you.

For you will always be there for me and I will appreciate all the love and time you will have for me.

I wish you would hurry up and come my way for this place feels so lonely lately.

I don’t want to be lost anymore, I just want to be with you and I want to be full again.

I know you are the key to the lock that has been on my heart.

You will be my favorite and you will lift my mood like a good song coming on the radio.

You will be the reason I smile more and the reason I see the light that was so lost to me when the world around me became so dark.

You are my happiness that stays longer than a couple of hours.

You are as much as apart of me as I am apart of you.

I know that you get me like no one else and you don’t worry about time for you know soon it will be unlimited.

You trust me and I trust you and so every move is accepted and respected for we always ask first.

Nothing else will ever seem worth the wait after this moment.

It’s you and me and that is what I’m truly looking forward to.
