  • Stuck In The Void

    Stuck In The Void

    All the days and nights
    Fade away.


    Fade into each other,
    Into a haze.


    All the thoughts and feelings,
    All the pain.
    A whirlpool of emotion,
    Sucking me in.


    Stuck in the void again

  • Is it Better to Feel Numb?

    Is it Better to Feel Numb?

    Is it better to feel numb?
    Even just for a little while.
    To turn off from the sadness, you’ll know you will have to face again and again

    Or is feeling numb a sign that the sadness has become too much? and you have become used to feeling like this,

    Used to all the bullshit and the trauma, that feels never-ending.


    And being numb is a coping response to try and feel some peace,

    even if its short lived, even if its for one moment.

    One little sliver of peace amongst the chaos.

    One moment of floating instead of falling into the void of darkness that is my mind.

  • We Become One

    We Become One

    As the sun sets over the mountains and darkness becomes night,

    Our souls reset for another day.
    Our hearts settle.
    Our minds may race processing the day that is done.
    Our body lays to rest. 

    As the sun sets over the mountains and darkness becomes night,
    We become one with our true self.

  • Live To Tell Another Day

    Live To Tell Another Day

    It may be a struggle to get up, but you can overcome. Wake up, let the hot water of the shower warm your bones. Take a moment of peace, breathe. Be proud of yourself. Have faith in yourself. Live to tell another day, live to make another memory, one you may cherish forever or one you can say that you survived from and made it though ❣

  • Black and White, Full of Colour

    Black and White, Full of Colour

    Sometimes life is black and white.

    Other times life is full of colour.

    It is what it is

    And we take it as it comes.

    Hazy and delusional,

    Or clear as day.

    Clarity from the demons,

    And time to love and play.

    Black and white,

    Full of colours,

    Life is both day and night.

  • The Lightbulb Moment

    The Lightbulb Moment

    Some life lessons and challenges are harder than others. Some take longer than others and are more confusing. And some life lessons and challenges do not make sense at all until that lightbulb moment;

    Where all the pieces of the puzzle fall together.

    We face hardships and pain but in the struggle we grow in wisdom and truth.

  • Broken Chaos

    Broken Chaos

    Weary

    Hazy

    Conflicted.

    Damaged like a broken piece of china.

    A beautiful mistake.

    The aftermath of a cruel heartbreak.

    Sorrow

    Pain

    Chaos

    Always feeling lost and out of place.

  • Scars Linger For A Lifetime

    Scars Linger For A Lifetime

    Faded memories
    Faded time
    I can just remember when i used to call you mine.
    But you left a scar on me that i can not forget. A scar on me that i can not shake.

    All the emotions of love and happiness, pain and sorrow intertwined.

    How you made me feel is what still lingers here;
    You brought me up to pure bliss
    and pulled me down into the dark abyss.

    Our story is one that goes all around.

    We closed that chapter of our lives and started a new
    But you left me hanging in the end, with unanswered questions and an empty heart, a lonely bed.

    You still linger in my head.
    The scar never fading, and a new perspective on love, life and change.

  • Break Free, Break Form

    Break Free, Break Form

    Break Free.
    Break Form.

    Do not conform,
    To the unstable society,
    Full of lies and fake belief.

    Do not become a robot,
    A part of the 21st century working machine.

  • Bring Me Escape

    Bring Me Escape

    Hold me tight,
    Bring me escape.
    The shadows of the world fall too heavy upon my face.
    I feel so out of it,
    Like I don’t belong,
    At all in this place.

  • 21st Century

    21st Century

    We are so connected,
    But disconnected simultaneously.
    We display a picture perfect life,
    But live in despair.
    Our reality a lonely one with no one really there.
    We judge our moments on whether or not they are instagram worthy,
    Not on the moment itself.
    We’ve lost the spirit and adventure and our basic humanity over everything else.
    We hide behind screens from the gift of life.
    Mainly worrying about wi-fi instead of the outside.

    Outside in nature, which we slowly kill.
    While parading on screen,
    Falsely committing to saving the world we live in.

  • The Light That Leads The Way

    The Light That Leads The Way

    Patience, perseverance.
    Strength and love;
    Hold close to your heart
    In times of struggle and when times fall apart.

    Wisdom and knowledge will bring you closer to the truth.
    The real reality in everything you do.

    Observe with clarity and perspective,
    Day to day.
    And grow in the light that leads the way.

  • When The Mind Gets Messy

    When The Mind Gets Messy

    My dear, I know the mind can get messy as emotions are all jumbled up.
    But your soul is still beautiful,
    Your heart, still strong;
    And your spirit still flows wildly with every passing day.
    The darkness is the truth in reality,
    Sometimes it’s the bittersweet knowledge that we come face to face with,
    That brings us to clarity and understanding.
    Although the journey can be tough and troublesome,
    The universe is guiding you to the right way to live a full life and be free.
    Find your peace amongst the chaos and hold on.
    All the pain and struggle are worth it in the end.

  • Insomnia – Lost Sleep

    Insomnia – Lost Sleep

    Darkness consumes me.
    Darkness welcomes me into its sorrowful lair. Holding me there, captive with my thoughts. Crashing together wildly and with no control.
    The pain is heavy and hazy.
    The weight of everything, everyone and everyword heaped upon my shoulders.
    Pain shoots through my whole body, the kind of pain that touches the soul; that tries to weaken the spirit.
    My journey is not easy and my mind sometimes is unforgiving.
    My bones crack, my muscles ache, my head foggy from lack of sleep. My eyes tired from looking into the abyss of the night. Unable to shut off. Unable to dream a sweet sleep.

  • Natures Energy

    Natures Energy

    To the wind,
    To the rain,
    The softness of mother nature and her fierceness combined.

    The world revolves around the golden sun.
    The energies work their way into our being,
    Colliding with our soul.

    We fear the unkown,
    But must take the leap.
    Don’t be afraid if it gets too deep.

    Change and time and reason are all at play.
    To see you through another day.
