Lost

But not forgotten

To find it at any cost

To escape the world so rotten

Seek out and try

To be something more

Never letting the dreams die

Being willing to somehow, kick down the door

Breathe new life into the beginning

And explore how to transform

Bet on yourself winning

Make winning your new norm

If not for you

Then for what reason would there be

If not for you, then for who

Not that hard, you'll see

At the end it's all on your shoulders

But whatever you make it, it weighs

Do not turn missions into boulders

Break it down in a way that pays

Be strong enough to shoulder the burdensome days

And take the good with the bad

Enjoy a few minutes of the suns warming rays

And for the small wins remember to be glad

It may be lost after years of the taking a beating

Hunt it down and reclaim it for your self

For time in this life is too fleeting

To leave your dreams on a dusty shelf
