‘So write about the calmness’
since that is where you are
and I recognized
the wisdom in simplicity

but I, being me…thought
‘This calm will never last’
best I sit and wait for angst’s return
write what I know best

yet here I remain in cool shades of gray
the slightest sunshine overhead
remembering, now writing upon
the words that ethome said

resigned to the quiet gift of calm
a summer’s day visited anew
tranquility holds a certain inspiration
it just takes some getting used to

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

This is a good advice, it's funny when I'm calm(very rare), I'm wondering if something bad is going to happen
