Choose Carefully Your Battles

Listen to poem:
Choose carefully your battles Not everything is worth a fight Pick what matters the most Leave all the rest behind Fight with your heart and your soul Carry yourself with pride Be fair and accept your mistakes We are only humans, not right all the time... Be careful with the words that you say They can hurt more than a gun A wound in the flesh can heal A wound in the soul, not so much... Be truthful to yourself and believe Your actions can change the world If not the whole world, at least The world of the person you love Take your days one at a time Give yourself time to breathe Don't be too harsh on yourself You also deserves to heal Care for your wounds, for your soul Give yourself love and praise The light that you spread in the world Must shine brighter inside of yourself June 07, 2017
