One More Step


One More Step
5,210 steps each day without you,
and 600 miles I'd have to walk to be close to you.
7 days and 5 hours. 
Too Long, too far. 

I watched you walk away and I wanted to run after you
But I was stuck in a train,
You already started your 5,210 steps without me.

Looking back,
We were meant to take steps together.
Left, Right, Left, Right
Counting to eight  in our heads.  

My patience is dying, I need to see you.
How can something I love and need,
be so many steps away?

I am tired of taking all of these steps alone.
It is painful and difficult.
I want these steps to lead me to you.

One more day and I'll be a few steps away from you
But while I'm waiting....
I should take off these heels,
and wear more comfortable shoes.

Excellent Auburn Jewel

Dear Washington, You consumed my joy yet you also added smile You stole my proof-- Proof that there is such thing as fate, that there is such thing as defeating one's fears, and meeting your wish, on the road to Damascus. Take care of my joy, my wish Take care of my Friend

Pencils Down

Pencils Down The paper is in front of me, problem number one, It's the easy one.  I rush through it, because I know all the answers.

So then I give up and I move on, but this problem has more steps, more thinking,  and my mind is still on the first problem and I keep adding more mistakes... more problems. So I slow down, try to understand all the problems, try to solve it in my head, but now there are too many problems, and I don't know where to start. Are  the edges of the page getting sharp? Are the lines on the page sticking to my skin, the skin covered in panic, the skin covered in tears. I can't keep track of which problem I am on, I'm still on the first one,  and I can't stop looking at it. I'm avoiding everything else on this page, "My answers are stupid!" I start to erase, and rewrite what I thin...

Gift

Photo from:  AuthenticGrowth.com Words talked over, my voice inside my head Eyes controlled me, my skin burned, cut, and dead Anxiety, told me the biggest lies Notebook pages, soaked up all my loud cries Every mistake, piled up on my chest Heart beat, fast pace, impossible to rest The attention, self-esteem took hold of It hurts to unwrap, what a gift is self-love.
