Kenny O\'Donnell

Be Still

Be still my heart 

Do not beat for her 

Each thump would be wasted

Each pulse of blood would leak

 

Be clear my mind

Do not be clouded by sensations 

Each thought could betray yourself

Each consequence would be your own

 

Be tough my body

Do not use your strength

Each thrash concludes weakness

Each moment of patience is a victory 

 

Be clean my soul

Do resist temptation

Each step away brings brighter days

Each day comes with opportunities
