I’ve vanished in the silence.
Buried everything in boxes, in the attic of my mind.
Creaking thoughts
Always trying to escape.
My heart,
A garden of lost things
And empty spaces.

Serenity Is A Dream
My mind is at war.
My heart wants peace.
One moment I am falling,
Then floating the next,
And falling again.
On repeat.
The demons creep around.
Seeping into my bones.
They have become my bestfriends
When I am alone.
Serenity is a dream far away from here.
Reality is a prison.
Constantly trying to escape,
But never fully reaching the exit gates.– Jacqueline Ann Lente

Seek The Balm For The Soul
Seek the wonder in life,
And never stop.Seek the showers of gold,
And the shimmers of sweet light.The good things,
The mysterious things,
The wonderful things.Never stop seeking what makes you smile.
Allow yourself to get lost in the magic.
Seek the balm for the soul.

Forever in Flight or Fight
I hate it in my own head.
My own worst enemy.
Wishing I was dead.The demons get too loud.
The cloud of illusion rolls in quick.
I can’t get myself to calm down,
And realise,
Its all in my head.Sorrow holds its grip tight.
And I try and try with all my might,
To overcome, to push through.
But sometimes reasons are gone with the wind.
The grip is too suffocating,
And the screams of pain too loud.I am my own enemy.
But at the same time,
I am my own saviour.The battles are just ongoing.
The end of the war is no where in sight.
Day to day,
Night to night.
Forever in flight or fight.– “Forever in Flight or Fight

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– “Stuck In The Void”

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 againOr 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.

To My Love
Hold me close my dear.
Hold me near and near.
Never let go.
Your warmth and light,
Keep me safe always.
May love be with us forevermore.
And may love and peace,
Be all the happy moments we share.
I am with you always,
Heart and soul.
Through stormy seas and sunshine,
And all the inbetween.
You have my being to the core,
You hold my heart with yours,
Intertwined together.

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
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 ❣

Walk With Your Head Held High
Walk with your head held high into the night, into the pain and into the light.
You are stronger than you feel you are, with whatever the suffering you may be going through, hold on, hold tight.
Don’t give up, don’t doubt yourself, be ready for the fight.
The battles may be long and enduring, but you will conquer them all.
Save yourself and free yourself and find peace amongst the chaos of it all.

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.

Paradoxical Mind
The mind is a paradox of both dark and light moments and thoughts.
Without the dark we cannot see the light.
Without the light we cannot learn from the darkness.
Both intertwined in perfect balance,
For our exploration of our inner soul and divine soul journey.

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
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.– “Scars Linger For A Lifetime”
