Either You Have It Or You Don'T Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

When I discovered my peace of mind,
Every doubt I had took a hike.
And everything I disliked no longer existed.
A discovering of one's peace of mind does this.
And if anyone should ever believe they can pay for it,
They are still in a long line with others...
Awaiting to impress 'someone' in the hopes to be approved,
By a valued nonsense.

To have peace of mind,
Can be compared to being stripped bare!
Yep. Butt Naked!
And loving every blemish and flaw one has.
With a doing to care less who solicits from 'whom',
A whispered and critiqued opinion.

This...is about peace of mind.
And those who chanced to have found it,
Are not seeking it to be explained...
To have it comprehended for anyone to understand,
What the having of it means to study from the taking of notes.

Either you have it...
Or you don't.
There is no in between.
Class dismissed.
Go out there and live your life.
If you have a need to ask questions...
Be specific.
And remember this...
Adapting to accept B.S. only invites more of it to regret.
