Serene

Summary:

He accepts.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

a human walks the earth
not clutching hope in his breast
not desperately laying claim
to those he meets

he knows
people are experiences, not possessions
to be connected to another, is a privilege
good or bad, he appreciates

he accepts
people come and go
he lets them come and go
he does not hold them against their will

he is
not attached to outcomes
he is serene, knowing all he needs
is within him

Notes:

This was inspired by the latest stage in my long journey towards developing a healthier sense of self-esteem.
