Inner Peace

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."
