anxiety,
you will not hold me down
you are not a part of me
Peace is my heritage,
a sound mind and serenity

fear,
you are not welcome here
you have no hold on me
i’m not defined by circumstance
my Hope is not in what i see

chaos,
you cannot take me apart
or push me into a corner – confined
Faith breathes deep:
reorder my thoughts
and quiet my mind.
