Unbothered

I am the unbothered

I am the lava flowing beneath the Earth's crust

I am the ocean's currents surging in the depths

I am the jetstreams circulating throughout the atmosphere

I am the steel blade forged upon the anvil 

I am the steady heart beat inside a monk's chest

I am the booming laughter of a child at play 

I am the cat curled up in your favorite arm chair 

I am the wind gently blowing through your hair

And I am the first light at the break of day

I am the unbothered and I'll have it no other way
