Summoning the phoenix

What is being lost?

Is it you not knowing yourself anymore?

Or maybe losing faith in yourself more and more?

Or maybe losing the interest even to go to the store?

I am sure there still more

But whatever losing yourself means

There is a fact that you didn’t go anyway

You just get imprisoned by your thoughts day by day

So you see everything gray

And you don’t believe the positive things other people say

So what you think losing yourself really means?

It is giving up

It is not seeing it even when you have a backup

You don’t look forward even your beloved ones tell you to stand up

And by that problems would keep coming up

So to start the fight, positivity is one of the means

Yeah it may be hard to embrace it when you feel so lost

But start by accepting the help from the ones who would give it at any cost

When you can see that you would see how you are the one who discriminated yourself the most

So stop being weak and get rid of the negativity ghost

What is missing to find you, are not the means

But you being eager to be found

You can never been found unless you are ready to leave that ground

Unless you mute the negativity sound

And love yourself for one more round
