Staring at this view A feeling encompasses you One that replaces the fear and despair All of a sudden you become aware Of how you've been living With a cloud enveloping your mind Making enjoyment difficult to find But in this view Sadness cannot touch you. The calmness of the lake Its surface velvety smooth The sound of the breeze Gently moving the trees Birds chirp and water plants sway Reminding you it will all be okay Life is to be lived, experienced and enjoyed Micromanaging it will not fill the void Pause and take time to remember the truth You are who you are That's enough. No more to do. No need to punish yourself for your perceived flaws For the flaws lie in your thinking It's possible to achieve Without having to leave Your calm, relaxed self in the dust. Just believe.
