She was a dreamer
Lost in fantasies
That she knew would never come true
It didn’t stop her
From thinking of you

*- h.m

I promised myself
That I would change
That this year would be different
But already I’m finding myself
Repeating my same mistakes
Over and over

I promised myself
That I would believe in myself
That I wouldn't give up
But I’m already finding myself
Slipping away

*-h.m

Stop dwelling on the past
Nothing you say or do
Can change what has already
Happened

Stop fearing the future
There is no reason to fight
Or worry about what has
Yet to come

Rather focus on the present
Take the note of the little things
Make the most of
Today

For dwelling on the past
Only brings regret
And pain
And hurt

And fearing the future
Brings anxiety
And uncertainty
And doubt

She is lost
but she refuses to ask for directions
Because she has always been good at navigating
and she will refuse to acknowledge
that suddenly
she doesn't know
where she is anymore

So instead she wanders
around in circles
For days, weeks, months
And as the days blend into one
she finds that she doesn't even recognise
her surroundings anymore
and she can't even remember
how it felt before she was lost

Meanwhile her friends and family
don't notice she is missing
Too busy with their own lives
to realise she is no longer there

And now she's scared
That she has wandered too far
and too deep
That when she screams for help
Nobody will hear her
