When the world around you is going mad
And you just have to hold on to your inner peace
Retreat into the recesses of your universe
And mull on how everything could be
It's not a quest for perfection
That's a lofty pursuit which leaves you wanting
But in those tiny little ways, those baby steps you can do everyday
To become better than who you were yesterday
And to start with, start with the heart
Being more kinder to yourself first
It's okay if you've made mistakes
And enjoy making them time and again
Nobody is perfect anyway
And perfection is an elusive dream
That slips away when you open your eyes
And you see the flaws that no one else seem to see
Wake up to a tomorrow
Where you are a little better than who you were today
Step by step, day after day
A little better, a little kinder
Retreat a bit into your inner universe
Delve deeper within
And from there you will find all the answers
You were always seeking outside
