there are many things
i just cannot comprehend
why give them head space
why enshrine them in my heart
go ahead and call me fool
i wish only peace
serenity for the soul
merely do my best
i don’t need to beat a drum
nor have any notice me
someone conquers mars
someone sells bad bananas
someone invents worth
none of this matters to me
remember? i am a fool
you can laugh at me
but when you’ve become bankrupt
(i don’t mean money)
i’ll be gone, so far away
basking in another day

unbolt me 
Just as long as you know when to call it quits..not the fool who believes there’s always love hiding around the next corner

Beautiful words and well written. I have been struggling with this same concept of enshrining someone in my heart and taking up too much of my headspace. Your poetry capitalizes this so thank you.

I’m so glad this was of some help to you. It’s good to be reminded that our words have real power for our readers sometimes, and it’s quite a humbling thought. I’m grateful for you telling me so.

This is an excellent haiku in stanza 2:
i wish only peace
serenity for the soul
merely do my best
Well done, you two.
