Serenity

Your facial mask isn’t needed.
Your “beauty” creams and powders.
Where you are going,
it’ll just run down your face anyways.

Your long wavy and frizzy hair
need not be tamed just yet.
Don’t give that mirror a second look
just pull your locks out of your eyes.

Your closet need not be bothered
nor clothes strewn across the room.
Just find something you can move in
it need not match at all.

Your phone blasting with today’s drama
your chores, your daily tasks,
leave it on the table.
There is no room for it where you’re going.

Lace up your favorite pair of workout shoes,

Any old pair will do.

Lace them snug against your feet,

And take the first step out of the door.

 The pavement will not judge you,

It’s just glad you’re there.
The trees will not laugh

at your makeup less face or your tangled hair.

 

Just make your way down the street,

At your own, personal pace

Walk or run just take your time,

This is your own special place.
