Calm

Am I broken?
I thought I was
Then you came along
And showed me the truth
The facts of the matter
The crux of the issue

Stuck in my head
Circling endlessly
This way and that
Treading so carefully
Tip-toeing along
Trepidatiously

A blinding light
A crash of drums
Sudden unexpected clarity
Understanding
Satisfaction
Relief

Moving forward
Eyes wide open
Mind still racing
Yet somehow calm
The cake is fully baked
The proof is in the eating

It’s a rocky road
It’s a twist of fate
It’s a gift from heaven
It’s a test of faith
It’s a whole lotta nothing
That means everything to me

Stare into the distance
Focused on a fixed point
The point is irrelevant
Feel my mind clearing
Feel the release
Let it go

Calm.
