I went searching for peace
but it left me in pieces
shreds, shards, slivers
like it was a tickle in my liver
and my heart started to quiver
I know I want to be a cheerful giver
living my best life as
upfront, fun and audacious
in my mind so spacious
and with nature so gracious
but I shed tears
I live in fear
and as the sun shines
I stare
directly into it
it's no blitz, no grit and no stitch
I twitch on this journey
and can't switch off the sounds
of the flowers swaying
because no one listens to what I'm saying
and you know I'm not playing
but yet I am playing with words
