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
