Shake it Off

It breaks every mold,
grasps hard, takes a hold,
ego appears bold,
to gain full control.

Reflects a dull stare,
to release all cares,
markedly aware,
of what seems unfair.

Feels far from the norm,
cradles fierce ice storms,
perceptions transform,
turns cold into warm.

Balance so serene,
removes rough extremes,
extracts worn old scenes,
sews tight at the seams.

Soft warm breezes blow,
sorrows fall then go,
a pure smile soon glows,
joys expand and grow.

Strength forms from insight,
grabs inner delight,
all day and each night,
endlessly shines bright.
