Long Lost Me

it's been so long since i last heard her...
hush...
can't you see, i'm trying to hear what it is she's whispering...
but she stopped, and began walking away

where did she go?
no, i won't let her go this time...

the imprints of her footsteps have been buried deep into the sand...
i searched for her, but it's hard looking through the thick fog...
"Hey!" I shouted, but she made no reply
The smoke blinds my eye...

then, a tap behind my back
i turn around and there she was, a tear running down her cheek
we both opened our arms, and embraced for the longest time
when i opened my eyes, my arms were wrapped around myself...

that's when i knew, i found her and she's here to stay...

Sometimes, we find ourselves lost through the hustle and bustle of the city's busy world. We get so engrossed in all activities that we don't notice how we're slowly engulfed by the superficiality of it all...then one day, we wake up so lost and listless. Life has become a monotony of words and actions...People influence us to become someone we're not...then, there are those who insist on changing who we are...

But why not listen to the being trapped inside your inner dungeon, the being concealed behind the artificiality...

Hear her cry...Make her come back to you...only then would you know how to live and grow.

Love yourself. Feel yourself. Embrace yourself...

Then, love others the way you have loved yourself.
