Ever really feel pain

or is that a state of mind,

another battle with thought

holding our emotions by the reins.

Ever imagine letting go,

and living life without scrutiny,

but instead knowing,

peace of mind is always around

the corner

waiting to settle in our mind,

to make allowance

for how lovely life can really be.

Seems to be out of reach

sometimes in the loneliest night,

when searching the stars

doesn’t allow any silent wish.

There is a quiet obsession

with trying to find the right words,

even those at battle in our heads,

an always competition with

being human.
