Understanding

A Poem by MCS
"

“You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” ~ Marcus Aurelius

"







I’ve been a nomad




Always searching




Trying to make sense




Of life




Of things




Of people




Asking why




Why I don’t fit




Why I don’t get it




Why I don’t get heard




All these years later




I’m seeing




That it all comes down




To this




Are you true to your creed




Are you doing no harm




Are you grateful




Are you present






~ acrylic on canvas, MCS

And most of all, do you fit in with yourself?
That is what really matters.
Love this. Nice short, tight lines that are melodious and filled with meaning.

I have no words, my voice is in my awe! Quite the rollercoaster in the musicality but absolutely brilliant in how it lands the cadence at the end. Well done!
