When there is chaos in the world,

I carve out pockets of peace.

It’s easy to focus on what is good

When you are cautious of what’s so deep.

I remind myself:

I am worthy of pleasure and peace.

The cards I have been dealt with

May have not been the best,

But I might still win this game

We call personal happiness.

I still have music,

Joy,

Art,

Self-expression

And best of all,

I have myself.

We are all

Simply

Reflections.
