Pause?

In this race to reach an unknown destination,

you rushed past all beautiful things that waited for your attention

Where is that you want to go?

What is it that you are so desperately trying to catch?

Money? Power? Fame?

If you’d tune in to yourself sometime,

you’ll hear your mind say ‘can’t we stop for a while?’

Hit the pause button and feel the emotions engulf you,

feels like a bittersweet hug, doesn’t it?

Take a sip of nostalgia and sit down with it,

let the salty memories trace a path down your eyes

Let out the rumble of laughter trapped in your throat,

the sound taking away all of your worries

Tune in to yourself now,

you’ll hear your heart say ‘here’s my happy’

Step out of your insecurities and into the world,

with a smile loud enough for people to stare

Shake off the ashes from your hair,

poised to fly above pain like the Phoenix you are

Hit the play button,

you are ready to enter the battle field of life again
