Trapped & Released

My chest is feeling heavy,

My breath feeling short,

My brain so complex,

Tired at the thought.

Breathing slowly,

Heart beating fast,

So how long,

Will this sadness last.

Close to a tear,

Just because you're not near,

I'm obsessed by thoughts,

Nothing is clear.

So I look to a child,

Who lives in the now,

They don't cheat or stray,

They trust and they stay.

A child just is,

But I so frail,

My life is so full,

Too many a tale.

I accept my heart,

I accept my soul,

I accept who I am,

Let my being unfold.

No feeling of sorrow,

Only kindness you'll find,

I'm back amongst the living,

Released from my mind.

Peace
