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.
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

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?
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.

All I want is to hold you.
All I want is for you to stay mine.
All I want is for you to stay forever,
In this heart of mine.

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.

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.

We dwell on fear and let it consume us. We let fear overwhelm us with its tight grasp, pulling us further down into the destruction of the self. We are clouded by the worst possible consequence that we do not see opportunities right in front of us. We fail to take hold of them, and we let them pass by. A placebo effect of fear can sometimes stop us in our tracks.
Most of our fears are unnecessary and have unnecessary control over us. We must break the chains that bound us. We fear what ifs and everything falling apart. However, we will never know the outcome if we do not take the chance to take the risk. Sometimes aspects of our lives falling apart is a blessing in disguise as it paves the way for bigger and better things to come in the future. There is a reason for every moment even if it takes times to make sense of.
We should not let fear hold us back from exploring our greatest adventures and moments. Do not let fear define you. Fear should not dictate your life.
Take that leap, make that move and run full ahead into your goals and dreams.

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 ❣
– “Live To Tell Another Day”

Bare soul.
Bare bones.
It has all gone cold,
In my heart of stone.
Faded away,
To dust and ash,
Carried away by the wind of the night.
Only darkness,
Only emptiness remains.
A graveyard of memories that once were happy days.

From dawn till dusk,
I will love you.
Every single day and night,
I will love you.
For you are my shining light,
Everywhere I go,
You guide me.
Hold my hand tight,
And never let go.
For I will always love you.

Beautiful mind.
Beautiful soul.
You show me magic wherever you go.
Your light has me mesmerized.
Dancing off into the night,
With you by my side.

Quarantine.
Isolation.
The world is falling into desolation.
Ravaged by a disease that controls the population.
Stay inside,
Stay at home,
Follow the rules,
Or face the consequence of police discretion.
Fines, fines,
Trying to stay alive,
As it spreads people drop like flies.
Normal is long gone.
Restriction is the new norm.
Society conforms, some rebel,
Only to prolong the quarantine hell.
Covid-19
Coronavirus infection.
Man-made or human error?
Evolution of influenza.
Or earths way of clearing out the disease that is us human beings?
Either way it is happening, and we must face it head on.
Prevent.
Retreat.
Flatten the curve.
But people would rather panic buy,
And turn everything into chaos.
Stupidity at its finest.
It has shown our weakness and enraged our fears.
This is our new normal,
But for how many years.

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.
