Serenity
Some people try to tease you
They dig until they reach
A point in you that triggers
Your nerves to burn and leach
They think they are so smart
When playing psycho games
Just ‘cause you don’t join in
Means not you don’t notice
So, do yourself a favor
Remove you from such talks
Your health is more important
Than any person’s flaws
When they try to provoke you
Step back and take a breath
They think you are an outlet
For their frustrations’ mess
If there’s a choice for you
of being kind or right
then do yourself a favor
Mute them with kindness’s might
In Love and Light
I just noticed that aging has a good influence on not joining in every provocation of others. Simply stick with the point and don’t get caught up in nerve-wracking detours that help no one.
P.S. Please forgive me for the poor rhymes in some stanzas.

At some point, you suddenly no longer see the point of being right, even if you know you are right.

It matters not the verse Erika, I hear your heart in those words regardless. It speaks well. And we become what we join, bitterness begets bitterness. Smile and the universe will smile with you. Great post kind lady, may your verses always smile too 🤗❤️🙏

Didn’t we all have such talks when after we thought, “why did I only join in that stupid conversation”? And how empowering is it to recognize such a stupid ego-driven discussion right in the beginning and consciously remove yourself from it?
As you said, let’s better smile and stick to the matter (if you cannot leave the conversation for other reasons)😊

Yes, and usually when its family or very close friends who wish to express themselves. The hard part is when you realize amongst it are some…um…lessons for us 🤗❤️🙏

It was my sister in this specific case. She loves playing psycho games and usually she drew me in because I recognized it and wanted to be even smarter. But that only caused more tension in me. This time, I let her babble and simply stuck to the matter that had to be organized. Very empowering and liberating!!

Alas, this is the lesson. Some take a little time to see in ourselves, and some…well, I’m sure they are bolted on 🤣 But those are the more profound breakthrough’s kind lady, powerful understandings that make us that love and happiness we always seek 🤗❤️🙏

Yes, exactly, such breakthroutghs and the confirming experience settles deep and sustainably. It truly solidifies the foundation of our awareness and strengthens our character too.

It’s not the rhyme scheme but your thoughts that count 👍
We surely don’t need to allow others to pull us into their madness. Our well-being should be first and foremost.

Exactly, that’s why I left it that way 😄
It feels so liberating to consciously withdraw from such a discussion. It even energizes instead of weakens.

That’s true! Often we think what smart thing we could say, but right then we already envolve ourselves… silence keeps you from the threatening engagement.

Absolutely not, Jan. And it even feels good and empowering to remove oneself consciously and let the other one deal with their frustrations themselves.
