How can you lose what you never had?

By Chelsea

How can you lose what you never had?
How can you gain comfort from what wasn’t yours?
How can you get strength from what was just in your head?

Perception is everything
What we feel turns into our attitude
Our attitude leads to our life.

If you trust that you are trusted,
If you know that you are backed,
If you feel that you are loved,

No matter what you have strength?
I think so

From past experiences I know
I know that strength gives you comfort
Whether the foundation of this idea is true or not.

Can you lose what you never had?
Can you gain comfort from what was never yours?
Can you get strength from what was just in your head?
I think so,
But why would you want this,
When you could have something real?
