I Found a Piece of Calm

I found a piece of calm somewhere I don't remember when It held me in its arms sometime when life was in a spin I must have learnt to hold myself when worlds were clashing in I must have kept my head above the water of the pain No longer can I know for sure when it was I wept And died in humble pain until I shed my skin People tell me I am lucky when they're suffering Watching they're anxiety expressed in every whim The pattern goes the same again exhausting time to win It seems unfair and makes me feel for them. I guess we have to graduate to conquer that within the patterns just keep ticking by until we learn to slow acceleration of the feelings we make win
