For a moment we are whole, delusions of the young.
We don’t realise the ocean of black that awaits our older souls.


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.

Stand tall, Stand strong.
Be brave, hold your head up high.
The waves might keep crashing down.
The storm might keep rolling on.
But you have the strength to keep holding on.
Soon you will see the sun.
The sand, the right path to take.
Your journey is forever evolving,
Life is the joy we make.
You will be swimming in a sea of dreams.
Dreams of belief and value.
Dreams of truth and desire.
Dreams that will come true.
Let the world hear your voice,
Loud and clear.
And be at peace.
Open your heart and free your soul.
The darkness will soon fade,
And the lights will shine ever so brightly clear.

My soul hurts.
My minds a mess.
Constantly playing games with the devils sweet caress.
Jumbled and scrambled,
Are my thoughts.
A constant tornado of swirling emotions in my head.
No rest.
Life a bittersweet test,
Of endurance and control.
All i wish is to lay my head peacefully and dream of silence.
A world away from the darkness in my bed.
The terror in my head.

Deep within the darkness.
In the dead of night.
My mind wanders.Sailing through the raging seas of the storm.
Travelling the windy roads of human emotion.Questioning the meaning of life,
The answers constantly changing, building and reassesing.A break in my soul that may never fully be fixed.
The silence of the night is my only true peace.

When is time to stop holding on,
And start letting go?
When is it time to move forward?
Even though it pains you so.
How do you hold onto love and memories,
After a person has walked away?
How do you let them fade away?
Days of tears.
Days of laughter.
Healing through the ongoing disaster.
Love is constant change,
Life is learning from the pain.

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.
