I prayed; meditated for a better me a better thing but this thing To be MINDFUL is just what it is Enlightenment; the destruction of untruth/ not the fight to find my couth and my manners/ but to tell the truth/ opened my eyes on the journey to find pieces of my youth shattered/ that left me mentally embattled/my sense of purpose scattered/when I closed the world out my mind opened/ the answers came/ they flowed in/ because silence became my friend
