Poem -- Set your mind at ease (repost)

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)

Why do you worry?
And go off in such a hurry?
Does that change anything?
What peace does it bring?

Life is way too complex for you to understand,
It has been like that for a long time.
Even since dinosaurs were still on the land,
When the human species had not yet reached its prime.

You worry about money,
About your future and what everyone else is doing.
You don't want to be left behind.
Well, I think life is too short to waste on straining your mind.

Do what you do, but don't neglect yourself.
It starts with you,
Take care of yourself.
Just change your view,
And the world changes with you.

Happiness is something that all want,
But its definition differs from person to person.
What you consider behind you, another sees in front.

Do what pleases you,
Enjoy your life on this planet.
You only live it once,
And it's something that you didn't start,
Because time is eternal,
And life will go on after you.

Keep that in mind, and don't live in denial.
And set yourself free, that's all you have to do.

Let your hair loose, and enjoy the breeze.
Go out into the woods and sit under trees,
Do whatever it takes and set your mind at ease.


Thank you for reading.
