Do you now feel at ease?

Do you now feel at ease? 

When it's all said and done
When you've seen and loved
Saw the darkest side of life
And even questioned the sands of time

When you looked up in the sky
And acknowledged the beauty of the sun
Seen storms imbibe people and trees
How did you feel? 

When you sometimes had friends
But sometimes thought you didn't care 
How much hurt or happiness did it bring? 
Did you have those nights where you could not sleep? 

When you said you were fine but you were not
You wanted to vent but kept it short 
When you saw the worst but kept going
Did you ever feel like quitting? 

You were not wrong to feel wounded 
You weren't wrong to keep your heart wooden
I want you to ask yourself this, 
"Do I now feel at ease?"
