Lost and found.

Feeling so lost,

My dreams untouched, have become coated with frost.

I don’t know where I am nor where I am headed,

My courage eluded me, it’s like it was shredded.

One moment I had it all worked out

Then suddenly creeps in the demon of self-doubt.

Look forward the road seems foggy. 

I couldn’t think straight, I was groggy.

Confused, restless and frustrated 

You couldn’t help but think the this path was ill-fated.

This was the most challenging phase of life yet

I couldn’t think of reaching the goals I had set.

However, this time was the one most integral to reach my prime.

Self-doubt, confusion and restlessness are all essential crimes.

They force you to question, they force you to think,

When going full throttle they ask you to stop, and blink.

In the darkest of moments, when you are truly lost,

Lost but still pushing yourself to think at any cost 

Thinking when there seems to be no clear direction to your thought

When there seems to be no way out, caught in the tightest of spots.

There will be a moment in the dark,

A moment where the friction within you will ignite a spark.

You will then come out swinging,

Full of belief your punches will be stinging.

The smile will return, the road ahead will start to clear.

You will then realize that your best friend was your fear.

For where there is fear there a choice to run or to fight.

If you chose to stand and fight, the road ahead will leave the chasing pack out of sight.

Feeling so lost, I found myself at a steep cost,

But it’s got me a burning belief and close to my dreams covered with frost.

Waves

It comes and goes in waves

You can see it like like rain from the comfort of your cave

Only few have the courage to reach out and touch the water.

Most of us fear about 'what if we falter?'

We are filled with regret over the lost chance

But what we don't realise is life will always play the music for another dance.

It comes and goes in waves.

The low tide is safe and comfortable 

But thats not the way to write your fable.

You have to risk the storm and face the thunder.

So what if you get smashed against the rocks

Your spirit is unbreakable it will overcome this blunder.

Your ship is not meant to stay forever anchored at the docks. 

So ride , ride bravely on the high tide

Once you make it to open sea, you will be filled with pride.

It comes and goes in waves

You owe it to yourself to not be fazed.

Don't batten down the hatches,

When the wind comes, you must unfurl your sails

Don't back down when you face rough patches

Your spirit will get you back up when all else fails.

To live a life of comfort is easy

But to live a life worth living you have to get your hands greasy.

You have to burn the midnight oil

Or else this comfort will eventually make your blood boil

So go get out of your zone

You only have to navigate once through the stones.

Once out in the open ocean

You'll know that this was the best promotion
