in order to feel at ease
i released my hold
on all the negative things
inside of my mind
in order to see myself
as a complete being
i had to completely free
my shackled soul
things will fall apart
but the pieces will remain
and in order to be whole
i must survive
the scattering
and the cleansing
and the reckoning to be made
and then maybe i will feel
rightfully alive
at ease 4/8/12
