**Peace**
The Stoic Secret,
-
Hey there, friend, let’s chat a while,
About this life and its fleeting style.
You know how we stress, how we often fight,
Over whispers and glances that fade into night?
Listen close: it’s all temporary,
People, their judgments, can feel so scary.
But here’s the truth that helps me breathe,
What others think? It’s just a wreathe.
We’re all passing ships, just gliding through,
With dreams and burdens, all painted in blue.
So why not let go of that heavy weight?
Their opinions? Just echoes that dissipate.
I used to lose sleep over what they’d say,
Every word like a shadow that darkened my day.
But then I realized, in a moment so clear,
Their whispers are fleeting, they’re not worth a tear.
I’m not at that point where I’ve shut them all out,
But I’m learning the dance, the ebb and the clout.
The love that feels real, the connections that last,
Are built on the truth, not the shadows they cast.
So let them chatter, let them spread lies,
I’m rising above, beneath open skies.
With every step forward, I’m finding my way,
In this journey of life, come what may.
The fake love, the drama, that’s not my scene,
I’m carving my path, living my dream.
With peace as my armor, I’ll face what’s ahead,
In a world that’s uncertain, I’ll forge what I said.
It’s not always easy, this road that I tread,
But I’m learning with each moment, with each word I’ve said.
I’m not here to please, or to fit in their mold,
I’m writing my story, brave and bold.
So let’s embrace the moment, let worries cease,
In the Stoic secret, we find our peace.
Life’s too short to get caught in the fray,
Let’s savor the now, let’s live for today.
Ind’s winding down,
I’ll wear my truth like a well-fitted crown.
With laughter and love, I’ll embrace what I see,
For in this grand journey, I’m finally free.
