Farewell to the Chaos

When you choose peace it comes with a lot of goodbyes
For every calm, there was once a storm in its guise
For every hush, there was a once a tumultuous cry
For every serenity, there was once a piercingly dark sky

There will be farewells, to the chaos that once resided
The never-ending strife, the peace that was once misguided
A parting of ways with the restlessness in your soul
The constant battle with yourself, now taking its toll

You'll have to say goodbye to the noise inside your head
The pummeling questions, the whispers of what you should have said
But when you choose peace, it's the quiet that will speak
And the words will be softer, the slumber, more mystical and meek

There will be an adieu to the clutter that surrounds you
The clamor of distractions, the pull, and push that hounds you
But when you choose peace, the stillness and the calm
Are what settle your tumultuous thoughts like a healing balm

You'll have to wave goodbye to the people who don't bring you joy
The ones who always bring chaos, the ones who are always coy
The ones who never reciprocate anything, but always destroy
The ones who keep your peace, from being an unbridled joy

There will be a farewell to the anger that boils within you
The shortcomings of others, the disappointments you accrue
You can bury all that pain, as you emerge into tranquility anew
For in peace, you're empowered, to acknowledge, reflect and renew

You'll have to say goodbye to the past that follows you around
The regrets that break you, the memories that keep you bound
But when you choose peace, the future will look bright and profound
You'll have new opportunities and possibilities all around

It's tough to let go, of all the things that once held you back
It's difficult to acknowledge new paths you've gained a knack
But when you choose peace, it opens unsuspecting doors
You can say goodbye to the darkness, and welcome in the light that soars.

So, be brave and let go of all the things, that once weighed you down
Let your heart sing with gratitude, for all the joys you've found
When you choose peace, it comes with a lot of goodbyes
But the serenity you gain, will soothe your soul and open your eyes.
