The Control Of Your Internal River
The rivers always flow
with simplicity and ease
That is why I never worry
about things I displease
For the hatred will come and go
And all I can do is go with the flow
I have learned that I’m better with my mind and soul
Understanding that there are things I can not know
When the world is twisted and fused with chaos
The stoics will not worry, contain their thoughts
Breathe deep and know
that the world is beyond our control
The ever changing seasons
can throw us disasters
But we know that our opinions and beliefs on the snow
Will not change and stop everything in nature we cannot control
We cannot control things around us
For we do not know
We can only control our minds and beliefs alone
The world is a beauty with its immense glow
We cannot change what we do not know
So short- the pain will come but let it go
Just make sure to let everything flow
Remember this before you engulf internal heat
All you can do is go with the flow
For we cannot change the unpredictable world
The world unknown

I was inspired by Stoicism to write this piece. I hope it helps other people to learn to relax as well and just enjoy things that they can't control.
