Peace

He wandered lonely in the crowd

Attached to lingering memories

The drops of rain a tingling sound

Shivering beside the blowing breeze

He stood absent in thoughts so deep

Wondering 'bout the challenge of life

Full of secrets no one could keep

'Bout those secrets gossip is rife

But even after being so clear

This life stood as a mystery

A path that one had had to steer

Full of struggles and misery

But his thoughts twisted and changed

Thinking in ways that no one knew

Because our minds are now so ranged

Positivity is what we can't brew

Despite all of his struggles and pain

He found the key to happiness

Just focus on what you have gained

Be true to yourself and confess

Everywhere you'll find emotions of bliss

And Positivity will surround you

Darkness a memory you won't miss

You'll be one of the peaceful few
