You let out a heavy sigh,
gulp down icy cold water,
shut your eyes tight, briefly.
No rebuttal, no debate.
Let silence adorn your throat.
There are people who understand your silence,
and there are people who deserve nothing but your silence.
Give them the glory of their ‘win’.
Your victory is walking away
with grace in heart and head held high.

Happy World Poetry Day
Calm people always have a different aura. Their energy, their softness, their unburdened presence possesses a soothing touch that one feels lighter and shinier around them. It’s as if they calm your thunderstorm down in a single embrace. It’s not talked about too much or appreciated enough. The tiredness you feel slipping away from your body because you’re surrounded by something so peaceful, you forget something was holding you down. I always say, power of ordinary is extraordinary.
