I’ve been gone for way too long.
Trying to find my way back home.
I won’t be long, although not here.
I’ll find my way to be always near.
Always true and always kind.
You’ll always know where to find.
Find me here, find me there.
Just know when you need me, I’ll be there.
Be better.
Feel better.
I pray to god you live better.
Cherish the thoughts and memories.
Feeling so lost, could barely breathe.
Pray from the heart.
Pray from the soul.
Just pray for something a little more.
Longing your stay.
Wishing you near. Don’t disappear.
This is a thrill.
Stay a moment. Just a little bit.
Be strong together, don’t be at bay.
I miss you life.
I miss you friend.
I miss you when you’re not there.
I miss your smile I miss your laugh.
I miss your thoughts and instant thrive.
I miss your spirit I miss your drive.
I miss the feeling of life passing by.
I miss your words I miss your truths.
I miss how every thought ended up so true.
I miss your peace I miss your air.
I miss the thought that can’t be bought.
Most of all I miss you.
Not the new you but the old you.
The whole you was the brightest you.
So please come back and be anew.
You’re the light.
You’re my fight.
The reason I stay up at night.
You’re the flame I never blame.
Without you it’s such a shame.
Words can’t explain the excitement I get from hearing your name and feeling no fret.
You’re the reason I cry and the reason I laugh.
The reason I smile and fight a little less.
I can’t help but feel blessed.
Blessed by your beauty and your innocent heart.
You remind me how we were right from the start.
So young so fresh and excitingly so.
You have my word, I promise to not let go.
You make life so easy, I don’t know how.
Let’s live for the moment and never bow down.
Trying to forget is the hardest part.
A love so raw you can’t depart.
A love so true that can’t be bought.
So gentle and soft, who would’ve thought.
Is it even real, if you can’t even feel.
Just be who you want to be and feel what you want to feel.
Don’t forget yourself and live a dream.
This is real life so let’s be real.
Just live your life and be who you want to be.
I’ve lost my ways, i’ve lost my days.
Not even sure i’ll ever find my way.
Days keep passing from sun to shade.
People keep laughing all night all day.
Sitting in silence trying to forget some days.
Keeping my troubles all at bay.
Oh what a shame.
Struggling to cope another day.
Struggling to find what was all but mine.
Struggling to fight through all the pain, but what is this life without a little rain.
The answers’ right there but we forget to look.
Take a little step. Just stop and look.
Maybe I’ll find that spark inside.
A little light to guide me through the night.
A little shade to get through the days.
A little sun to brighten my day.
Let me know or let me go.
This life of yours is not one to know.
In your heart you don’t listen but speak.
Empty woes and full of defeat.
You won’t let go and just simply repeat.
Just listen and things may sound upbeat.
Tired of the games? Just laugh and be neat.
I’m done here but just respect yourself.
You may help yourself.
Who knows what this life entails.
Stop the silly games and just be yourself.
I feel like I haven’t taken a moment to simply reflect. I’ve been caught up with myself and worldly things it’s taken a while for me to take a step back.
It took me some time to understand myself. I’m not quite sure I fully do still, but there’s always something new I learn about myself which I’m sure a lot of us do. A recent thing I noticed about myself is overthinking. I never really thought I was the type to overthink things- which I still don’t believe I entirely do, but when there’s a lot of pressure the overthinking devil appears.
If you’re an over-thinker in your everyday life or during stressful situations or when things do not go your way- just stop. It’s not worth it.
That is a lesson I kept learning the last few weeks. I’ve come across situations whether things had not gone to plan, which sometimes were out of my control but all I could do was think “what if” or “why”. Instead, I should have thought about ways to move forward or reflect on the lesson learnt.
We’re not always going to be in that situation whether good or bad. You must have heard that a thousand times. If things do not go to plan or if something bad has happened and you believe it’s your fault that it’s all messed up or you should have said/done something – don’t sweat it. That may sound too simple to say but it’s really not as complicated as you may think it is. It probably was your fault or you probably should have done something a little more, but sometimes things are meant to happen and we cannot control everything. You probably heard the cliche quote “everything happens for a reason”. It probably does and we may just not have found the reason yet. Once we do, I’m sure we will all be laughing at our former self from over-thinking/stressing about those moments.
Think of this life as a test. It’s much better to pass a test after overcoming hurdles than to simply pass without any. The easier route to success would never feel fulfilling. Some may want the easier route to things but there’s no lessons learnt. Once succeeding after all those blood sweat and tears- that’s when success would truly mean something. Does it not?
How else are we going to grow and develop into something great. How else are we going to be the best version of ourselves if we do not go through difficult situations or mess things up which we were not supposed to ‘mess up’. I’m not saying – go and be lazy and ‘mess things up’ and then think that it’s okay because that’s just life- no!. Try your best but if things do not turn out the way you want it to go just know that, as long as you tried your best nothing else matters. Do not overthink. That’s a message I’ve been trying to follow within my own life. It’s more easier said than done but once you start with that message things will get easier and you wont take it hard on yourself and overthink things, because overthinking things is never good for you.
If you got this far, thanks for reading this piece and continue to strive to become the best you anyone had ever seen. Do it for you, not for anyone else. (:
