Summary:
The poem revolves around the speaker's internal struggle to find peace of mind. Despite knowing what needs to be done, the speaker finds it challenging to take action and achieve tranquillity. The disturbance in the author's mind has affected her heart and soul, leaving her in turmoil. She long to regain her peaceful form and reconnect with her inner self. The poem ends with a resolution to take action before it's too late, acknowledging the importance of finding inner peace and restoring her soul.

In search of peace, my mind does strive,
A struggle deep, to feel alive.
I yearn for calm, both day and night,
To quell this storm, find gentle light.
I know the path, what I must do,
Yet still, I'm lost, without a clue.
My heart and mind, they clash and fight,
In turmoil's grip, they're held too tight.
Though wisdom whispers in my ear,
I can't break free from doubt and fear.
The disturbance spreads through heart and soul,
A reverberance beyond control.
Once tranquil mind, now lost in fray,
Begs for action to guide my way.
Yet I remain, unmoved and cold,
Ignoring calls from my own soul.
I ache to find that peace again,
To mend my soul, to heal the pain.
Yearning for my truest self,
I wait for action to bring me help.
But time ticks on, it won't wait long,
I must take charge, admit I'm wrong.
To reclaim peace, I'll find the strength,
And make a change, no matter the length.
For in my hands lies destiny,
To find the peace that's meant for me.
Before it's late, I'll mend my fate,
Embrace my soul, and navigate.

This poem belongs to all those who suffer and long for peace of mind. The concept of 'peace of mind' came to my attention after a friend suggested me. As most of us suffer from the loss of inner peace as we get caught up in worldly matters, forgetting about ourselves. We strive to achieve and prove ourselves, but we often neglect the most crucial aspect of our being - our inner peace.
Our minds are constantly active, leaving little time to care for our physical, mental, or emotional health. The stress we carry prevents us from resting; we seek distractions like watching TV shows or YouTube videos, keeping ourselves busy and unaware of our true selves.
I urge you all to stop and take a break. Give your body, mind, and soul a rest from the world's distractions. Yes, you read it right! sit by yourself and have a talk with your inner self, give some time to yourself. Now, you must be thinking that am I crazy!! Oh no, am not! Am just suggesting you sit alone and give yourself some time rather than engaging yourself in certain activities which are keeping you just engaged, where you are not conscious enough about yourself.
If I ask anyone of you, how much aware you are of yourself!? What will be your answer? Are you aware of your body or its pain and why it is happening to you? If not, then you are in trouble. Why trouble? Because you are not aware of your body system. If you are not aware of your body, then how will your mind be under your control? That's not possible!
To gain consciousness you must sit at a quiet place where you are engaged only in yourself. I am not saying you to meditate now! Though meditation is the basic and the most important thing that we all must do in our daily life. Most of the problems are just managed by such activities. If you are meditating you are already at a certain level of peace, depending upon your level of engagement in meditation. Your mind is at peace, you are conscious about your actions. That's only how you can achieve your peace of mind. And if you are too lazy to meditate then just sit alone somewhere quiet for some time at least. You yourself will wonder about the change within you. It is just that simple.
Well! Hope you all must have liked the poetry! If you like the ideas behind my poems, suggest more topics. Share this with your loved ones, and let's hope for a positive response from all of you. Remember to respect and nurture your peace of mind. Take care, and have a great day!
