There is a great calm here,
now that I have taken control
of all the voices that were, till yesterday,
suggesting what I thought
and how I felt

I have no more need
to form an opinion
about you or anyone,
no need to feel discomfort
or dislike. No need to be weak
or make excuses. No need
to be clumsy or give up

All the vectors of myself
can now move together
to serve the purpose
for which I am intended,
something I’m now free to learn
each day a little more.
