Cure of Mine

decided to try something new

go someplace different

it was good

he spoke

i sat

hardly breathing

speechless

he had touched me

his words

riddled with that strong accent

ringing in my ears

his talk seemed to apply directly to me

he said i could find rest

i could find comfort

if i wanted it

he said we all have troubles

we are all struggling

with different things

he told a story about a man who never brought his day's troubles into his home because they had nothing to do with his family

maybe i could try to do that

leave my anger

leave all that stuff

outside before i go in

and not burden people who already carry burdens of their own

he said stop counting things you want

things you need

things you want to change about yourself

he said be thankful for the things you have

things you like about yourself

things you don't want to change

he had to list things for me

just so i could realize
