CONTENT

Reflecting: I was feeling so relaxed, turmoil is gone for this day. I am feeling content, free, with a solid foundation. I can breathe again, my life is in order. I took control and made a new me!


FEELING SO CONTENT

I sit here writing and feeling so content,
My life used to be twisted and really bent.

How do we get ourselves in such turmoil?
Shrinking away from life and wanting to recoil.

We seem to allow others to shake our foundation,
Brick by brick with careful calculation.

One day we wake up and find we are gone,
The person we used to be seems always wrong.

It sometimes take awhile to find out who we are,
Not sure of anything we look near and far.

We have to sit back and try to recoup,
To find that person who is adrift in a sloop.

We float aimlessly in the sea of life,
Looking for the answers to all our strife.

We start to rebuild from bottom to top,
There is no one there to cause us to stop.

I can take the time now to sit back and look,
To figure out who I am, while reading a few books.

I'm happy my foundation is once again secure,
I've found my way back, I was able to endure.

My life is no longer twisted and bent.
I'm sitting here writing and feel so content.
