: the state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled
I have been trying my hardest to find serenity.
To feel calm and at peace,
As though in one fell swoop —
The weight of the world on my shoulders was replaced by feathers, light and pure.
I have been seeking.
Seeking out for the person I actually am,
Distinguishing the golden among the rough —
The traits I should keep and the traits I should let go of.
I have seemingly been doing all these,
But in truth —
I have just been trying.
Trying to keep my head above the crashing waves,
Remaining gentle yet fierce in the face of fire —
Building resilience despite feeling weak.
I have been,
Seemingly, seeking, serenity —
And I am still trying, day by day.
