Thank you
For release.
For teaching me expression,
And the many lessons.
Lessons of love,
Life and pain.
Bittersweet reality,
And dream state fantasy.
Holding onto hope.
Through the battlefield of life.
Through the good, the bad,
And all the in between.
And lastly,
Thank you for showing me the way,
To letting me be me.
We run and run and keep on running.
But what are we running from?
Ourselves?
The darkness inside that eats the soul?
If it is left to rot in silence,
Without release.
Why do we hide?
When we can conquer.
Be friends with our demons.
Take a walk with them and learn,
The inner secrets of your soul.
Run inwards not away.
To face the light another day.
Lost your brain.
Find it amongst the chaos,
Where we are stripped of our misguided layers,
To reveal our rawness.
True to heart.
To who we really are.
Amongst the darkness and in the light.
Fading in and out,
Of reality and insanity.
Searching for serenity.
And a little peace in our heart.
They come,
They go.
Like the seasons change to and fro.
Learn to hold on dearly,
To those who have stayed.
And when to let go.
Of who no longer serves you,
And of what has walked away.
Take each lesson,
Savour the time.
Infinite memories,
Stashed away in your wild heart.
Open your soul,
To a fresh start.
Guide yourself,
On your path to glory.
And only take in,
What feeds your soul.
And ignites your fire,
For passion, creativity and love.
Burn brightly,
And with no shame.
Celebrate with the people,
who will walk through hell and back with you,
And brighten your day.
Night time,
Heart burning.
Soul churning,
Spinning and transforming.
Darkness,
Pure black.
Comfort in silence.
As inside me rages,
A war of searching.
For a means and an end.
Solace from pain.
Before insanity takes a hold.
Welcome crazy,
A change from the old.
Fear into action.
The night holds all truth.
From love to hate,
And the very essence of you.
Empty.
Missing.
Lost.
The cold nights are colder without warm embrace.
Pain in the chest.
Scars on the soul.
Love.
Put on a brave face.
And face the world with grace.
Underneath a storm is brewing,
Heart a mess.
Wondering.
Pondering.
Worth the suffering,
For a soul so enchanting.
An adventure so wild,
And a taste of magic.
Fleeting.
Change the only constant.
Learning to roll with the waves.
And be free.
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.
Forever waiting,
my heart skips a beat.
Forever waiting,
for happiness and I to meet.
All alone in the desert,
under the twinkling night sky.
I dream a dream and,
I wonder why?
Why is this world so chaotic and cruel?
Why do we place such high fame on such fools?
We play silly games with our lives and nature.
Inventing, masking, disguising what real happiness is to paint a pretty picture.
In a world gone crazy,
I am forever waiting.
Is it getting hazy?
Or am I still dreaming?
All I know is that,
I’ll be forever waiting.
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.
