I have to find a sense of wholeness in myself,

When life seems to carve chunks out of me.

I have to establish stable ground,

When earthquakes threaten to crumble the world around me.

I wish to have an inner force so assured,

I baulk at those who wish upon my downfall.

Life is unstable.

It comes with an aching hardship that breaks my soul.

I’m tired of this pain I carry,

Tired of constantly seeking more.

I chase the rainbows hoping to catch a glimmer of happiness,

Just to run out of breath and collapse.

This fleeting happiness,

I look at my empty hands,

And wonder what they can build.
