Peace in Letting Go

Feeling summoned, pulling me in

There's a silence I can't begin

Caught in tides of kind intent

Wish I knew where my peace went

Always the one with open hands

Sharing dreams, trying to understand

But every time I give a piece of me

My own soul feels the weight of these pleas

Sometimes I wonder if it's enough

Am I losing myself in the stuff?

Caught up in stories that aren’t mine

Missing the me I used to find

I was peaceful all alone

Found my quiet, my own stone

Now I’m tangled in others’ tears

Lost my calm, drowned in fears

Oh, I’ve been too kind, too sweet

Letting others’ shadows greet

Should have just stayed in my zone

Found my peace when I’m alone

Echoes of voices pull me near

Turning my comfort into fear

Care grew heavy, burdened my soul

Guess I forgot, I need to be whole

Can’t be everything to everyone

Losing myself, so much undone

Standing at a crossroad, what’s right?

To give or to keep my own light?

I was peaceful all alone

Found my quiet, my own stone

Now I’m tangled in others’ tears

Lost my calm, drowned in fears

Oh, I’ve been too kind, too sweet

Letting others’ shadows greet

Should have just stayed in my zone

Found my peace when I’m alone

Maybe it’s time to set me free

Find the peace that’s meant to be

Balance heart and self-respect

Reclaim my life, my own protect

Peace was simple, it’s my own

Back to where I’ve always known

In the quiet, I’ll stay

Peace is my own, come what may
