Colors drifting, swirling
filling the air in smoky breeze.
Obscuring reality with fantasy
until pain drifts away
and troubles become distant memories
to be forgotten in hazy dreams.

So today I decided to post my weekly Free Write Friday I do on this website. It’s a bit late as it’s last weeks prompt, but better late than never. 🙂
Here is the prompt from Kellie Elmore’s Website:
Here is my response:
Trust. Easily given, easily broken, impossible to get back. How many chances do you give before you say enough? How many times must your heart be broken before it can break no more? Where do you find the strength to move forward and not bleed mistrust onto others who do not deserve it? the answer for each person is different. It takes a different amount of time to heal, to trust, to break that one final time. Some never trust. Once someone breaks them that is it. Everyone is the same. No one can be trusted. I believe everyone is different therefore everyone should be given a chance, and some more than one. We all make mistakes and we should remember that no one is perfect. Not even yourself. One mistake should not mean a lifetime of pain.
If you would like to read more submissions, click on Kellie’s name above and it will take you to last weeks prompt. Have a wonderful day. 🙂

She learned to stand tall
Protect herself from another brawl
Now she knew there was no need to crawl
Moving forward in joy and delight
She is one fetching lovely sight
Taking on the world with all her might
