My Peace
~~~
Like many before
You overrated yourself
And underestimated me
Assuming you were
THE ONE
Who could fulfil me
~~~
That somehow
I couldn’t be without you
Even though I was
Before you darkened my door
And here I AM
Moving on
~~~
It’s not always easy
To walk away
From a comfortable insanity
To step back into the dark
Alone
Back into the unknown
~~~
But I have walked alone
Many times before
It’s easier
To leave vanity behind
And embrace
Inner Peace
~~~
For all is unknown
Security is a lie
And fear is a liar
I can’t save you
You can’t save me
The only truth is love
~~~
And love does not demand
Deceive or betray
It Blazes from within
Radiating
Empowering those who give
And receive it
~~~
My peace
Does not come from you
I was born alone
I will die alone
My peace was earned
Through suffering alone
~~~
Inner flame
Illuminating my way
With calm assurance
That I will reach the end
Whatever it may be
I am just me
