Then: I screamed, fought, and argued.
Now I sit in silence. Now I am at peace.
Then: I drowned in addictions, shackled and asleep.
Now I wake and breathe in. Now I am at peace.
Then: I chased perfection, craved attention, served but me.
Now I am imperfect, help another. Now I am at peace.
Then: I spoke and theorized, fantasized and the world denied.
Now I think concretely. Now I act and am at peace.
You can fight and argue, seek perfection, and go sleep.
Do not.
Come and sit in silence. Be imperfect and at peace.
