Inner Peace

I'm moving from the darkness to the light
 I am not afraid to move ahead 
   To leave childish things behind
     Happiness starts with the mind
       and than cultivates to your insides
         Maintaining this state is no longer a requirement
           I have found inner peace in my myself
            without the constant nagging of my inner self
                           to find it
                    I merely stepped on it
                        like a tire rolls over glass
                          and it deflated me
                           threw me off my normal route
                             but when the tire got pumped
                                 and the hole got fixed 
                                   I petaled  hard and fast 
                                     like a part of me knew now
                                      how precious life is
                                     I found inner peace today
                                       I learned things won't always
                                           stay the same
                                           but love if it's real and true
                                             will never forget  
                                                 the people whom
                                                      it knew 
                                                   I found inner peace today
                                                       I found me
