I feel different these past few days, wrapped in joy
Tolerance I found where before there was none.
At first I thought, perhaps this was a ploy,
That is until the other changes had begun.
.
Anxiety and jealousy seem much more subdued,
A struggle I’ve struggled with all of my years.
These issues I’d gnash on as if they were food,
Were simply alternatives to facing my fears.
.
Patiences I lost as I grew out of my youth,
Seem to be returning and rearing their heads.
All because I found what I believe is the truth,
Trepidations settle as my old skin is shed.
.
I think what I’ve found is the beginning of peace,
Not the kind that we show towards our fellow men.
No–the kind that’s achieved as our inner turmoils fleeced,
May I never return to that troubled place again.
