Though you’ve walked on,
My door is always open.
My heart,
Always warm,
Always welcome.
Between us distance has no meaning.
Time,
Is healing.
Wishing you well.
And hoping for good luck.
Walk with no fear,
My dear and trust.
For deep down inside,
You have a heart of gold.
March to the beat of your drum,
You must.
Never far, always near.
Always Welcome,
Here,
My Love.
You’ll never loose that uniqueness about you.
The root of your soul.
Your passion.
Your fire.
The erge to inspire,
Create,
Love.
Even when you are drowning in lost seas,
You are infinite.
Find yourself.
Hold on to heart,
Let go of what no longer serves you.
And flow with the waves,
Of desire,
And serenity.
Have mercy on my soul,
For the devil shall rise and swallow me whole.
Could hell be worse than this hell on earth?
Or would it be my saviour?
Peace in the fire,
Calm in the flames.
Take me away from life’s cruel games.
Life, death.
Where does it begin and end?
Nowadays it is more like life is the enemy,
And death is the friend.
They say that life is a beautiful lie,
And death the painful truth.
Only the ashes left of our time imprinted on this earth,
Souls still searching for the truth.
“Being alone a lot of the time makes you wonder and question life. The real questions that swirl deep down in your soul. Evaluating specific moments and exploring the finer points of friendship, love and the abundant life we all wish to have. You hardly ever get to some great conclusion, but little by little you make the progress to get there. Because we will forever be wondering and questioning, exploring and trying to fulfil the holes of desire and need that are nested tight in our beings; in order to grow, love and not only to survive, but to truly live.”
– Jacqueline Ann Lente
Carry your soul through the winds.
Fight for what you believe in.
Stand strong and conquer your fears,
You have come so far along the years.
Don’t let anything stand in your way.
You have the golden armour to love another day.
Use your talents as weapons for your cause.
Remember you are beautiful, don’t worry about flaws.
Society judges,
Its time to go to war.
To fight the battle of controlling minds,
Be free and leave all that behind.
Let everything go and get everything out.
Release yourself and rise again.
If you fall, get back up,
And soldier on.
The battle may not be over,
But you are sure to win,
By the will of the moon and the sun.
I’m wrecked but at least I look fresh.
This is the last nail in the coffin,
the pain in my chest.
Let me burn, cause I’m done.
I don’t give a fuck now,
All I feel is numb.
And I welcome it in with my open arms.
Time has changed, like you wouldn’t want to believe.
Learning to accept it now but I won’t let anyone else stand over me.
People have gone, caused pain and hurt me.
To long have they played with my brain.
No longer will I stand in the firing line,
I’ll be the one firing the shots.
I’ll be at peace in the fire and the flames.

I had a good run,
but now I’m alone again.
I had a good run,
but now I am alone again.
People have come and gone.
There is the loyal ones who have stayed,
they are always not too far away.
And always in my heart to stay.
I had a good run,
but now I am alone again.
All my life I go up and down.
Change.
Alone, alive, lost and found.
Social and spiritual connection,
for a time.
Then independence calls my name.
I had a good run,
but now I am alone again.
One moment you’re five years old, you open your eyes and the next thing you know you’re ten years old. Still Blissfully unaware and innocent to the world around you.
You close your eyes and open them again and you’re suddenly sixteen. Amidst the rush of growing up, teenage struggle and teenage fun. You think you know what the world is like and how it works. You build friendships and eagerly plan for the future.
Once again you open your eyes and you are freshly eighteen, old enough to legally drink and party. Adulthood has opened its doors. You are slightly aware of the reality of the crazy world around you. Freshly out of school and planning your next move towards a big career, exploration and adventure.
Once again you close your eyes and open them. You are a few days away from turning twenty-one and becoming a fully fledged, responsible adult. You are fully aware of how cruel the world can be, but at the same time you are aware of the opportunities you can take to better yourself and enjoy life. But crazy always gets in the way. You look back and wonder where childhood went? and why did it slip away so fast? Why were you so eager to grow up? You are awakened to the fact that you were wrong at sixteen, when you thought all twenty plus year olds had their shit together.
You realize real life has just begun. The hardships, the good times and the unbelievably great times, the experiences and the life lessons, the friends that have come and gone and the loyal ones who have stayed, falling in love and heartbreak and falling in love all over again. You cherish the peaceful moments and wish the world wasn’t so crazy as you watch it get madder and madder as the years go by.
You realize your blissful innocence and ignorance you once held many years ago and you long for it, sometimes quiet painfully too. Especially when things get chaotic and seem to be falling apart. You wish to go back to that younger self of yours and tell them to shut up about growing up so fast and to just enjoy your youthful moments. Because once you reach twenty-one and realize this, there is no turning back. Only forward, navigating the sea of adulthood, while trying to stay sane.
Knowing all this, take a page out of your childhood lessons and realize if we live in the now, enjoy the moment, go with the flow, roll with the punches and come out on top, we can embrace the child-like thinking of mystery and wonder, adventure and play. Don’t let the cruelty of the world taint your life with struggle when you can embrace spontaneity, strength and the power to push through everything and anything. Our childhood has seemed to flash by us in a blink of an eye but we can still maintain that child-like nature of peace, comfort, wonder and courageous bravery to keep us going strong.
If you are reading this and you are still in the throws of childhood, don’t let it waste and slip by. Embrace every moment, be a kid as long as you can and don’t worry or bother about wanting to grow up so fast. You only get one childhood, live it up.
With adulthood, now have no fear! Conquer every day, work hard, play hard and always keep that inner child within the love of your heart and mind to embrace the world with love, mystery and adventure.
