Three Things Challenge #M955

GRANT
HAUNT
INEPT

In shadows where whispers softly haunt,
A wish upon a star I long to grant.
But dreams may falter as I stand inept,
Stumbling through the darkness, where hopes are kept.

Yet in the night, there’s a glimmer of light,
A promise that shines, dispelling the fright.
For even the lost can find their own way,
And rise from the ashes to greet a new day.

Fading Echoes

Now ply me away,
From this place where we once laughed,
Friendship fades to dusk.
Memories linger softly,
You carry the weight of blame.

Three Things Challenge #M954

DEXTROUS
EARN
FLOSS

In a land where the dextrous fairies play,
They dance and twirl in a magical ballet.
With sparkles of dust, they earn their bright crowns,
While giggling and spinning in their colorful gowns.

They use their fine skills to floss in the sky,
Making rainbows appear as they swiftly fly by.
So, if you see fairies with glittery gloss,
Join in the fun—don’t forget to floss!

Paths Ahead

M.A.D. Works

The world was bright and vast once before.
With dreams so big, they soared like kites.
Time has flown, and I have changed.
Dreams once seemed strange, now gone.
Lost my innocence.
Lessons learned well.
Straight ahead
To great
Paths

ALMOST
BUBBLE
COURT

In a land where bubbles bounce and play,
There stood a court where giggles sway.
The judge was a frog, in a crown made of foam,
“Order in the court!” he’d croak, never home.

The bubbles danced, oh what a sight,
Almost popping in the soft daylight.
With every burst, laughter filled the air,
In this silly court, all worries were rare!

So if you’re feeling glum, just take a cue,
Join the bubble court, where joy is the view!
You’ll laugh and you’ll play, without a care,
In a world of bubbles, there’s fun everywhere!

ZOOM
ZERO
ZITHER

Zoom in close, a sight to see,
A zero turns to hero, full of glee.
With nimble fingers on the zither’s strings,
Melodies rise, and joy it brings.

Watch the transformation, bright and clear,
From nothing to something, a path sincere.
In every note, a tale unfolds,
Of courage and wonder, as the music holds.

Facing My Fears

M.A.D. Works
Daily writing prompt
What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?
View all responses

The thing that I fear the most is being judged in anything that I do. It’s a silent anxiety that often holds me back from fully participating or expressing myself in various situations. This fear has been a part of me for as long as I can remember, lurking in the background and influencing my decisions.

I’ve been working on this with my therapist, and I can confidently say I’ve made significant progress. Through various techniques and exercises, I’ve learned to challenge the negative thoughts that arise when I feel the weight of potential judgment. I’ve started to understand that everyone has their insecurities, and most people are focused on their own lives rather than critiquing mine.

Despite this progress, I still encounter moments where this fear resurfaces. For instance, I might hesitate to share my ideas in a group discussion or avoid trying new activities because I’m concerned about how I will be perceived. It’s in these instances that I realize I still have a long way to go.

However, I’m committed to facing these fears head-on. I remind myself that every experience, whether successful or not, contributes to my growth. I’m learning to celebrate my progress instead of dwelling on setbacks, which allows me to confront my fear of judgment more confidently. Each small step I take helps diminish that fear, making room for personal growth and the joy of trying new things without the burden of others’ opinions weighing me down.
