Oh, my peace where have you gone?
Why have you left me?
Here, I sit distressed, my mind
a raging, stormy sea.
One feeling after another land blows
on me, bringing me closer to my knees.
How I used to feel joyous and confident,
assured everything would be okay,
but now I am nothing but sadness.
I cannot think for my thoughts are tangled.
I cannot experience one emotion since
several invite themselves into my mind.
Peace, you used to be my companion,
now you have abandoned me.
You act like a torturer, sitting happily
next to me, then leaving me in my distress.
Why must I be your play-thing?
Where is your consistency?
So strongly do I desire, for these attacks
to stop, giving you a reason to leave me.
