Be present

It seems so easy to lose yourself

In so many different ways

You can lose yourself

In a book

In writing

In a hobby

Or you can lose yourself

To your guilt

To meaningless time *****

To the media

No longer do I want to lose myself

In things that don't fill me

With love

With light

With joy

I want to ignite

To write

To be passionate

Not passive

I do not want to be a passive participant in life

Distracted by the lighting of my phone

So easy to miss out when

You're worrying about everything you might miss out on through a screen
