Peace, something I have been longing for.

A moment to think for myself without the constant fear of my loud thoughts.

A time of tranquility to settle my racing heart and scattered brain.

Sometimes peace can feel so far away, so out of reach.

In some moments I fear I might never feel it again.

But the moments are fleeting with each passing day.

My mind becomes clearer and I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulder.

My peace is my own, my life is my own, and my thoughts belong to me, myself, and I.

I belong to no one, no one belongs to me.

I walk this life with my head held high, though there may be bumps.

Those bumps may break me down and kill my spirit, but I will win.

My victory is my own, I will win my life back from the things that have taken it.

My peace, though long awaited, is welcomed with open arms.
