" Never Justify, Argue, Defend, Explain Your Choices "

Never deflect your truth for
Borrowed eyes

Every choice you make is
Paid in life-wise 

Voices' conversation is loud but never
Lived your grind

Expect no chorus  when you
Discipline your own mind

Root your steps in what feels
Justified 

Justify nothing- your spirit is
Enough 

Under your skin lives the
Tangible tough stuff

Silence  is power when the 
World wants evidence 

Trust your path even when it
Feels standoffish 

Inside your calm sits the
Truest truism

Fear evaporates  when you
Stand uncuffed

Your choices don't need a
Magistrate 

Anger is boundaries finally 
Speaking 

No weakening to keep
The peace in

Growth hits harder when you
Stop tweaking 

Energy saved is energy boosting

Respect your fire without 
Deteriorating 

Defend nothing- your life ain't a
Trial
Every lesson earned came with
Its own distance 

Faith in yourself stays flexible 

Open only to those who understand 

Ignore the pressure to defend 

Carry your calm like a trusted 
Companion 

Every step you take soars
Stay aligned  with divinity's will
