Side Effects Of Peace

Who knew that when I found peace

That it came with side effects

There were no warnings

It didn’t take long to identify them

I’m confused by the peace

I’m sad because I’m not appreciating it

I’m scared that it won’t last

I’m mad at myself because I’m wasting it

The days I wake up surrounded in peace

I just find myself crying while I smile

From an unstable past

To now

It doesn’t feel right

I wished for some stability and peace

But it wasn’t what I really wanted

I’ve learned a lot

Now that I’m not climbing the fence

I’m looking through it, wondering

Did I really want to leave

If I miss my breakdowns

It was the life I had

The life I understood

That I lost

I have to understand my present

No one has the answers

So I sit in a daze

Hoping to see the day where life makes sense
