It Is What It Is




I know the thoughts are often the only things bothering me

and so, I let them go...
for a while

my whole being
swells
and lets out such a heavy sigh
of relief

it's not as hard as it seemed to me before

everything is okay, really
the little things that happen...
well, they're more trivial to me now
than they had been
smiling,
I have finally realized my folly

breathing deeply,
watching, wondering at the world around me,
I no longer let the disturbing whispers
disturb me anymore

no longer letting my thoughts tangle with my emotions

permitting a clear mind, the way it should have been
all this time

I let the music, the voices, the sweet sound of the earth breathing
fill my head till there is room for no more

my eyes, the same
taking it all in, not particularly caring, not thinking

wondering, sometimes
but it is so much more shallow


yes?

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    YES YES YES. =]
    I admire the fact that you can so
    easily put your thoughts together to
    create something. . . well like this. That
    is so incredibly amazing. You have a way
    with words, honestly.

    Kassie! you have no idea how beautiful this is, and what makes it even more precious is that it's coming from you...!
    Having followed your poetry and seeing the pain, the angst and confusion, my heart is filled with happines to see you where you need to be...standing in the light...
    No one can ever take that away from you!
    A beautiful write!
