Finding peace within

I have looked in all of the wrong places to find my peace
I have looked in strangers eyes in hopes of them to comfort me
I didn’t know that deep inside my heart was where all my answers laid
I was looking inside another person’s heart, into a strangers soul to tell me
That tomorrow is promised, and so are all of my in-betweens
I Gave away emotions, I stumbled on straight paths
I was blind, I couldn’t see what truly laid out there for me.
So with blinded eyes, and a broken soul
I kept holding on to you, to him and to whoever looked like you
I tried and tried, and every time I failed to gain peace for my heart.
I am letting go of all that kept me awake,
The fear, the unknown tomorrows
and the unbearable dreams of you
I thought even after you have hurt me, there would still never
Be another person who can bring me peace, I thought that If I could find
An image that resembled you, a scent that smelled like you
I would cling on to that, and close my eyes pretending that I am with you
But
No more
I am letting go and I am letting in
The peace that I once knew
Peace that I knew before I ever laid eyes on you.
