Peace Amidst The Storm Poem by Natasha Andeyi

The reasons to smile occurred rarely,
The often feels were sadness and anxiety.
Barely having that shoulder to lean on,
The real ones were miles apart while the ones around not ready for the new stranger in town,
Spending more time in my head because things are better in there than the unjust world.

When my faith couldn't quicken my miracle,
When tantrums at the Almighty couldn't change His plan and meet my apparent needs,
Going with the flow was my next response.
With more reasons to frown than to smile,
I found mine when my acts screamed kind.
When my luggage was too heavy even for my strongest muscle,
Life became lighter when I held those of others I could manage.

So much joy from letting go and getting out of my head.
When it's less about me because I'm not the only one in existence,
When my life is also for the ones destined to cross my path,
These are the little ways that brought me back to myself.
The ones that turned my many frowns upside down.
The reason I could fall asleep despite feeling like the world was against me;
The reason behind my peace amidst the storm.
