My Inner Piece
I often underestimate the power of me.
What I am capable of
Who I could potentially be.
Somehow I convince myself
I don’t deserve to succeed
And succumb to defeat
Before faced with the choice to secede
At these times, I consult the mirror and ask,
“Who is she?
Where did she come from and what happened to me?”
The confident woman who knows
She can do anything
Whose unbreakable pride is reflected by everything
She does and it shows
Where did she go?
Because I need her right now
To uplift me and purge my mind of these doubts
That girl with the presence that lights up a room
Who advised me “Be patient
Good things will come soon”
And I’d say
“The only good thing I want
Is the peace within you”
“How can I get it?
What must I do?”
“You already have it”
She would insist
“Your mind wont let you embrace it
That is no way to live
I don’t see how you can take it
Blinded by fear, anger
Even envy too
Your heart wont let love permeate through
Yes, it is scarred
But time heals all wounds
The past is the past
And what is done no one can un-do
That is the truth
And it hurts
But it, too, sets you free”
“Learn how to love again
And let others love you
That is all you must do”
“Accept that as fact and soon you will see
That peace buried in you
Is that within me”
