"My heart is an open book,

Torn open by my story.

Tell them you learned the lesson.

You’ll learn it every time,

You seek completion in the incomplete.

You sought refuge in a straw house.

Then when the storm came,

You were bare and alone.

Exposed.

You spent years swallowing…

But it was only air.

And you wondered why it left you empty.

They told you stories

And you believed them…

Then waited for the tooth fairy

To bring you change.

And yet still you’d give anything

To make the story real.

Let it go.

There’s a better story.

That isn’t a story.

It’s Real.

But in it the hero never dies

Or bleeds or cries.

Find the Real version.

Memorize it.

Write it on your heart.

And then,

Give it to the world to read.

Your heart is an open book."

Poetry by Yasmin Mogahed, from her book Reclaim Your Heart

Making this mix was a labor of love. If you feel like supporting Calm Pills online radio & podcast or showing your appreciation, buy me a cup of a coffee ☕. You can also share this with your friends, rate it or leave a review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you subscribed to this. Thank you.

Also, did you know that I have another podcast called Chill Pills. It features the same quality of mixing craftmanship but focuses on more genres of downtempo music spanning chillout, lofi chill hop and lounge.
