Stillness Poem by Nicola (IG Nicola_JustMe) Pillai

Stillness


Today I gave in
I went back to bed
Surrendered to the voices
Inside my head

The incessant noise
Playing tag with my mind
I tried to find reason
Claim back what was mine

I looked for a way
To shake it right off
A stretch
Work out
A simple walk

Instead I thought,
If I just close my eyes
I'd cease analysing
The anguish
Building up inside

I lay there as the music
Fed my soul
Little by little
I took back control

Today was a day
Where I learnt something new
Being still, is a skill
A tough craft to do

For in my stillness
Radiance will shine through
My super power
My strength
My greatest virtue
