When your world is on fire
And tranquility seems worlds away
Just close your eyes and hold out your hands
Give your emotions a chance to play
Think of something more refreshing
Feel it within your heart
Let it overpower you
And bring about a brand new start
When your heart is falling apart
And love seems like it has died
Think back and reminisce
Of the joyful tears that you've cried
Open your heart to newer things
Explore nature's changing ways
Welcome them in with open arms
And your sadness will fade away
When tranquility seems worlds away
Motivate yourself to move on
Forget about your wicked past
And feed on the encouragement
That you've come upon
Smile with every passing minute
Breathe happy and positive breaths
Give your heart some time to heal
For you will truly feel blessed
Seek fortune and fame
Be meek and humble
Patience will do you good
Be happy that you are alive
Do things you never thought you could
Make friends with strangers
Be helpful and kind
Be a role model and a mentor
Keep tranquility in mind
When anger gets the best of you
And someone is starting a fight
Tell yourself that you are better
Keep your eye on that shining light
Every day is always different
Unpredictable and cruel
But when you've conquered tranquility
You'll find yourself in a world of new

I really needed that Jeremy. It is so very inspiring! I liked how you repeated the line;
"When tranquility seems worlds away'
What a beautiful poem, and so uplifting. It makes me want to go hiking in the mountains and release all of my woes to mother nature. It is so true that when we are centered and connected to that inner peace and light, we are tranquil despite what goes on around us.
Congratulations on those nice trophies. Your poem deserved them and so much more. I hope many others read it and feel better through your compassionate and comforting words.
