Kelly Hitchcock Poet Rhyme

The Battle

We carry the past with us
We frantically try to predict the upcoming years
Our minds are vociferously occupied
Filled with delusional neurotic fear

To detach from our emotions
Modern man might think is insane
Because to quiet the monkey mind
For many would make life too mundane

So, we move with no direction or intention
We cry about having no purpose or time 
We say we’ll do it tomorrow
Unaware, the river is running dry

There's an internal battle raging
We’re all troubled with mental pain 
Unaware, the harder we fight
The struggle remains the same

We must learn to let go of the past
Stop concerning yourself with the upcoming years
Learn to live in the moment
You will conquer most all of your irrational fears

Become aware of your emotions
Mindfulness resolves most of life's pains
Control the controllable
This type of liberation is insane

You begin to live life with intention
You create more quality time
You realize, you can only do what you do
Peace, its your new way of life

The battle has been won
Ironically, the war was all in our mind
Personal awareness
Exposes the true enemy for mankind

So, take a deep breath
Listen to the wind blowing through the trees
Right now, this moment
It's all we have, and all we really need
