Ye Who May Find No Peace
A poem about the human experience of some.
We may not find that which we so desperately need
It's something often not sought by the young
Of its existence, one will only read
And have it wished upon them when they are done
Those who seek it most fall short the fastest of all who it evades
Feelings of the world around them rattling their mind
Voices in their heads speak of crazy escapades
The pain of things long since done leaves them blind
They're such weary souls, all of them tortured through time
Nothing about the world will ever make sense
Always the uncompleted mission in the back of their mind
The tasks before them seem so immense
A life of noise for one who most desperately needs it most
Sorrow fills the heart connected to the broken mind of theirs
Living in the shadow of a life that has become a ghost
They're suffering because of others' unfortunate affairs
The others who desperately need the sweet release unfound
Ones who did those things were not meant for the acts of good men
Carry the devils of the past around
Desperately in need of peace, but of it they won't mention
Ye may not find peace within this life with such a damaged soul
Forgiving yourself, you may not possess the strength once needed
Hurt and pain, your long-time best friend since the days of old
There may only be peace when you see it before you and greet it

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
