Notes About The Poem

I Turn Away

 
"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who 
are cruel, but because of those who look on, and do nothing."

                                       Quote by _ Albert Einstein

My nature is that of a gentle soul,
yet, I face my life with apprehension;
for some that I meet have a combat goal,
they offer antagonism tension.
And my best plan is to just surrender,
for I seek no domination splendour !

Often, people come with hostility,
for a war-   so I pirouette away;
can I make a friend with civility ?
Perhaps in time we can embrace one day.
And I believe that the truth is the best,
for a liar is an unwanted guest !

I wear my scars with great humility,
and within me is great tranquility !
