Peace

Peace is something to die for

To dive for

Deep into uncomfortable waters where confrontations swim quickly with sharp teeth of yesteryears hurts, scars and disappointments

To wrestle against the currents of emotional immaturity and pride in the deep and dark abyss of normalcy.

 

Hiding hurt in plain sight, veiled, covered up like dirt under the carpet so that no one can see the harm that has been done but never reconciled.

The narcissist within you thinks you know the reason behind everything you see or feel, you’ve already figured out a story where you’re justified and as for me, you say I should let it go.

Life is too short to relive old pain.

 

Your peace is a false god.

Your peace has won no battles , your peace has no scars , your peace is nothing but a curtain that hides the ugliness of human condition that you are not emotionally mature enough to process.

Your peace is the absence of conflict.

My peace is its resolve.

To stitch the wound

To mend the heart

To soothe the soul

Again, to start

Anew, with you to know you deeply,

To love you deeply.

If life is so short, then why are we waiting

To start again

A poem, a prayer, a therapy session? Maybe all three. Praying for all of you that hope to love someone deeply and work through hurt and pain with them
