Peace II

I think I finally know
What I mean by
“I need peace”

It’s not that I want things to stop
Because let’s face it
They never will

It’s more peace of mind
To accept the
Chaos and
learn thrive in it

He cried like rain
And screamed like thunder

And I

I was a quiet river deafened by his storms

Around and around.
The world spins madly on.
Standing still in the middle of this street
yet it’s moving in a constant spinning motion.
How did I get here?
I closed my eyes and suddenly my world
has completely transformed yet again.
Im happy with what I have
But still so sad as the past weighs down
On my weakened soul.
Try to let go but how can I when I have the door of the past boarded shut.
Days are rare when I allow myself to think. To think of the past, the pain that follows.
The last seven years have come and gone
so **** fast.
How can I even catch my breath?
From a stranger to my husband
and back to a stranger.
A complete stranger.
Another lover enters my world.
One right after another.
Thought I might of found love
But they all stabbed me in my windpipe.
Can’t breathe, hard to see what’s in front of me.
I tell everyone it’s not good to not let yourself feel, to not express ones emotions.
Yet, I do the same.
I hide inside myself.
Bury my emotions, my thoughts.
Bury them not only from others but truly from myself.
In the last two years, I’ve met so many people. Good friends and even lovers, and all back to strangers. Suddenly.
Broke up with my two best friends and now I stand still with one good friend.
No shame in it for I truly do love him. For I am so thankful to have him in my life.
However, sadness remains.
At first, I was okay, but looking back, maybe it was denial. Maybe I thought that it wasn’t the end.
Maybe I thought it was just a break even though the words that were exchanged crushed my heart.
And now, now, I think of you every once in awhile. Lately, it’s been a few times.
Think of you both as I’ve ran across photos on social media or even just see your names.
I hope you’re okay.
I hope you’re shining bright.
Life is short. Soak up the sun while it still burns hot.
Maybe
This was
Never meant to
Last so I'll say
Goodbye

Who do you touch?
Who touches you?
Do you have regrets?
Regret being kind?
Did you light someone's life?
Stop being haunted by what you have done.
What about what you have not done?
Then do it
May take patience and persistence but we should be used to that.
Rekindle the spirit
Know the difference between empathy and sympathy
Same goes with accept and except
Know and live by your values as well your priorities
Some are meant to be broken
But not those golden to you
Change is the constant be ready for it
Touch spirits and souls
Did you matter to the world?
You control what you want to contribute even now
Remember that
What we take for granted so many wish they had

Kafka Joint
The elephant in the room
Is feeling crowded
And doesn't want to feel invisible anymore.
