What we want and what we need sometimes conflict
What is urgent and what can wait gives mind some grief
Doubts and uncertainties to the troubled mind afflict
Irremediable pain that causes all mischief
The heart longs for emotional satisfaction
It beats for not giving up and for taking chances
The mind seeks for reasonable motivation
It always causes one to shoot skeptical glances
The heart is usually slow to adapt when things change
As if things should always go back to the way they were
It is the mind that tries to reason and rearrange
The priorities one just cannot simply defer
Oh Serenity! Calm my heart and soothe my mind
That may all ideals be put to their rightful place
If only amidst this blinding fog I can finally find
You, Serenity, then a smile to behold will be upon my face…
