End Zone

For the last alphabet, Z, I chose the word zone.

I feel I have been in two zones the month of April. One blogging in the A-to-Z Blog Challenge. The other blogging in the National Poetry Writing Challenge.

I believe I completed almost all of the blogs for each day though I was sidelined with a dental issue I’m still recuperating from.

It is my second year for the A-to-Z Challenge and my first for the Poetry Challenge. I enjoyed both of them more than I imagined I would.

I met a lot of nice people who read my blogs and whose blogs I read. I loved all the comments and encouragement I was given.

Thanks for helping me to strive to become a better writer.

Starting May 1 I will be crossing over to a new zone. I will be trying to write something I’ve never considered before. I will be attempting to write a fiction short story. After I get it written I will enter it into a contest. I don’t know what contest but that’s at the end of the task.

My greatest accomplishment will be when it is finished and submitted. Winning would be icing on the cake but when I submit it I will be winning. I will have won over fear. Defeated it with my foot on its neck. I will then be a force to be reckoned with. Ha, ha, ha.

I will continue to hang out in the blogging zone and I will be working diligently in the new zone also.

Thanks for hanging out with me this month and making it a productive and satisfying month for me.

Blessings to all.

I Release You

I wrote this one day when I was fed up with being held captive by something that had no right or authority over me-fear. I declared that day I will no longer be held in bondage and I was breaking free to be who I was born to be. Today I face any fear that tries to rear its ugly head. I overcome it.

You’ve been with me a long time

Right by my side

Everywhere I go

You cling to me like there’s no tomorrow.

Today I release you

Time to part company

You’re no long my crutch

I will not receive the lies you’ve been feeding me

No longer do I need you to be a part of me

I release you.

Recognize there’s something new about me

I found out today that I could be set free

From the tricks and lies you’ve been handing me

That had me thinking I couldn’t be

All that was prophesied to me

I release you.

My eyes fell upon the Word

That went straight to my heart

It did major surgery

And ripped us apart

It set me free

To be who I’m suppose to be

Today I release you

You have to go

Leave my presence

Don’t come back no more

I will not take you back I’m staying on track

To be who I’m suppose to be

I release you.
