Let's Keep the Peace
I lay in bed at night wondering if this madness will disappear,
I search for answers and “ignore it” is all I seem to hear.
Differences should be embraced not used for false accusations,
Trying my best to keep the peace causes nasty retaliations.
Rumors spread like sand for the whole world to see,
I only do what is right, is there something wrong with me?
There's no need to shout with anger and deep resentment,
Can't I just explore my passion for writing in sincere contentment?
I stick up for myself and others who are very undeserving,
of ridicule with confrontation and all the useless hurting.
I vowed to myself I'd never live with anymore dramatic play.
I'm an adult, a wife and a mother not a child on display.
It breaks my heart to read all the sarcastic insinuations,
I can read between the lines I don't deserve these situations.
All of us as a fellowship should be more encouraging,
let's grow together in harmony, as one unit emerging.
I stay quiet in the corner and the second I say a word,
it gets thrown in my face and I'm the one left unheard.
I understand there's two sides of every single story,
Let's please move forward past this before it's gets too stormy.
I will wake up in the morning and keep on writing,
Cuz' that's why I am here, not for bickering and fighting.
