"It"

For years I tried to figure "it" out.

I couldn't really define "it" 

but that didn't stop the efforts to control "it".

And with time and heartbreaks,

I've learned there is nothing to control.

"It" is a state of mind.

It's not what you control, who you control

or what emotion you can overcome.

"It" is you.

For me, when I finally figured that out,

and just lived to love and loved to live,

it all became so much kinder.

A simple change in thought,

an appreciation for all lessons,

has given me a level of peace

that keeps me going everyday.

Simple, isn't it?
