How Do I Find My Peace?
Sitting in a quiet room, my heart gets heavy and my eyes fill with tears
Silence, and solitude sounds amazing until it is finally here
Mind begins to wander as thoughts are racing of what is to come next
What-ifs should not be a concern, yet they leave me extremely perplexed
Trying to remain calm, seem “normal”, so no one notices the fear in my eyes
In my happy place and I still am so unsure, still so many things I despise
Desperate to find the answers to settle down the thoughts in my mind
I refuse to lose sight of the positive, the fears of my past need to left behind
Always trying to look ahead, brings me back to the what-if’s, so what about the now
Saying I live day to day, I am fooling myself, yet I continue to say it anyhow
Soon I must start believing it and living that way or else tears will continue to flow
Worry and anxiety is brought on by my own thoughts, thoughts only I can control
My mantra and mind set must change, so I can have a happy, healthy soul
Realizing that issues will come up from day to day that I will just have to deal with
Issues I must face head on, no more worries, while I discover truths and dispel myths
Life is a wild ride, full of unexpected twists and turns, ups and downs, and sometimes corkscrews
Enjoy the silence and solitude of home, step away from the loud world for awhile, this is what I choose
To Find My Peace
