They whispered to me
"This pain you are experiencing
is what will make you, you
in the future. You don't know
if you will thank god for
giving you this pain. A medicine can
heal you, even if it tastes bitter.
And you are not the only one,
don't you forget that."
Then I whispered into nothingness
"How do you know me so well?
How do you know how it hurts?
You don't even care, you don't even see...
No effort, to make things better
Only tell me wise words, and
think I'll be alright, but I'm not.
I am the only one standing here
talking into nothingness."
They whispered into my ear this time, so close
"I know you, 'cause I'm in the wind
In the sea, in the water, in the earth.
I've been you, and left you but not quite yet...
Something good can bring worse within,
Something bad can bring better within,
And you never know what can happen,
It's all a part of life, part of me.
You will never understand life,
If you won't make peace with life
If you won't find your inner peace."
The stubbornness arose from my guts
"Don't you dare tell me to find my inner peace
She was far gone since you left me a long time ago
When all you do is bring war into this world
Just let things go as they go as if it's all fair
When are you going to stop and see
That people are hurt, they are tired?!
They want peace, and I can't find my inner peace
When I know there are people in a war
dying because of human stupidity
How do you expect me to find my inner peace?!"
Slowly they whispered into my brain, tiredly
If you look carefully, I never left you.
I know it seems like there's no hope
that it's all a useless game that no one wants to play
but you have to stay where you are and listen
Patience is not your enemy, it's your savior
You will thank yourself for being hopeful and patient
You are just a brick on a domino chain, and you will see
You are not the only one standing
When someone tries to take the chain down
You got to stay where you are
Strong and distanced from the crowd, untouchable
As if you are all alone, but with them in a row
So that you can help them when the others want to
take you down as a domino chain
You will be the one who breaks this chain
So that more people will not get hurt.
Your peace is in you, with yourself
you choose what you want to do with it.
But it would be more helpful if you were
not fighting it."
