Trauma tragedy rallies bout’ caucus chaos
Amidst the tumult of life in spite I’m at peace
Daily confusion, babies crying
Refrigerator died, hard wire smoke detector alarming
Ain’t no fire, yet in this noise?
I am blessed to have my hearing
I am not alarmedI AM…
But?
CALM
Was baking grandma’s birthday cake
Had to tend to something outside the house, burnt as little of it
Talked with baby sister, she reminded me of an ingredient G-ma allergic
Computer on pause it has frozen monitor buzzin
Aren’t no understanding everything hectic and scattered
Yet! I am flattered peace am I
I am blessed to have my life, my items working or not
For in my hectic... I am yet still
CALM
I’m blessed, even in my mess, I am
CALM finding tranquility
While enduring, I have chosen to be still at peace in my CALM
Rather than acknowledge my turmoil and traumas
Even in my mess the un peace, my turmoil and confusion I am
Calm
