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
