As Peace Breathes Through Your Restless Mind... 🌸 (a Poem)

in #poetry5 years ago (edited)

This is the first draft of a poem I'm working on for my second anthology, which may be released in 2020 ... or may be released in 2021, depending on how my year goes. 😁 Regardless, I hope you enjoy!

Let the rigid heat of perfectionism
Give way to your humanity.

Let the masks fall
As your heart opens wide
To bask in the sunlight
You once knew.

You have long fought
With valiance
And vigour
Determination in every stride

So now,
As peace breathes
Through your restless mind:
Sleep.
Slumber.
Rest.

Wow I really relate to this poem!

“Let the masks fall
As your heart opens wide
To bask in the sunlight
You once knew.”

It’s what I try to achieve and seem to always fail. Very simple and elegant piece 👍🏻

How can you feel my thoughts? And massage my wishful ego with such sentiments? I wish to know how this feels like. Too deep ♡

Perfectionism is certainly tiring. I like this admonition to rest.
