Lost My Mojo

I lost my mojo
And I don't know
How to get it back
I went from doing everything
To doing nothing, Just like that
So quick, it ran through summer
Then it hit
All my flaws were noticed
I wasn't the same
I felt uninspired
I had lost it , My mojo
and I Didn't try to get it back
I let my shine dull
I felt so helpless
I wasn't a hero anymore
I couldn't fix this
I wasn't doing bad things
just doing all the wrong things
I clutched onto my friendships
The one thing I couldn't lose
I was so idealistic
not thinking of my present
Then it was too late
I couldn't finish
Who was I now?
When did this change happen?
If this was me finding myself,
I wanted out now
But I couldn't go home
My heart was here
But the city has a way
Of blinding us
To the point where 
We conceal our problems
I was in Denial
I was one of them now
I couldn't go back
But I did just that
Because I had nowhere to go 
I didn't accomplish my goals
So back home I went,
Tired and Depressed 
I felt like a failure 
It wasn't as easy as I had imagined
But the things I experienced
They all had happened
Memories that'll never be extracted
I may have lost my mojo but
I like to think of this as a phase 
An attempt to shake 
A false image
Because I'm actually
A work in progress 
I'm really just a dreamer,
under construction
