I'd like a clearer vision, of the truth this life does hold. A rational perspective, distinct, like hot or cold. With which to use in daily life to choose the wiser way And tap into my soul's self worth, so I can simply say. That which is before me, concerns me none at all. For it is not within my power, I will not hear its'call. And turn myself internal; focus only on those things, Which depend on only me, and the peace this brings. And find a calm serenity that has eluded me up 'til now, Resolving to be the best I can,to myself I make this vow. And in the quest for absolute happiness, I will find, That all it takes, is to myself and others.. just be kind.
