Can't Find Peace

 

Can’t Find Peace

 

I tried Yoga but it was not for me

Did Tai Chi

But could not find my center of gravity

Some say mediation works

My grandmother use to find it in church

But when I went

 It felt like it made it worse

Felt like I was being judged and criticized

Even thought what I did

Was ok in my eyes

Did mediation

 But my mind keeps wondering?

Thinking of this and that and about life just pondering

Tried acupuncture to clear my mind

But it found other problems that I confined

My friend said

Weed could take me to the place

But I did not want any artificial enhancement

To help me win this race

My brother said he excusive to find his realm

But when I go into the gym

I feel over whelmed

Running use to do it for me

Giving that natural high

I feel like I’m to fare out of shape to give that a try

They say swimming sets a tranquil scene

But my mind keeps working like a will oiled machine

Got a basketball and tried to do that too

Ran up the court one time and I was through

Looked at a football and said forget about that

Cause as soon as I bent over for it

My back went crack

So I had Manny walk on it for a time

As he did it I thought

Why it so hard to find

When was the last time I had peace of mind

Then I looked at her picture

And said when she was mine

It seems nothing I can do to get me over this ridge

Now that I look back 

I’m sorry I burnt that bridge.

What a great ending.
I like this poem a lot, i just think you need to go back an edit because some of the misspellings and exclusions make the whole thing kind of distracting.
but really, great great poem.

Awh. That is so wonderful that a person can make you feel this way. My peace is spending time with my kids in new surroundings and sitting in the middle of beautiful scenary. When I am at ease I can write about anything.

When we lose someone speacial it tends to make our focus blurry. You will find another form of peace as long as you lokk around you.

Live, Love and Learn
