Protect Your Peace

An ode self care

Can you hear the noise? Of course not. It came to a cease.

It means you’ve finally realized you have to protect your peace.

Cast away the critical attitudes and harsh words.

May every voice raised against you go unheard.

It’s time you left the community bred anxiety.

What good is life if chaos is what rules society?

Separate from the tongues who speak in trouble.

They thrive off drama until it leads to a scuffle.

Your soul is precious. Protect its fragility with all your ability.

Don’t let anyone blood or not take your tranquility.

Ease is what you deserve. Hold it lightly in your palms.

Protect your peace in the storm and you will have your calm.
