Peace Means a Lot

Smiling faces all around. Back-pats and words of appreciation come my way. It feels so good to be acknowledged and not taken for granted. The positivity and feel-good factor does wonders to our well-being. To live for my own self, and not to satisfy any one else's needs - that's what gives peace to my soul. Such independence gives the impetus to better myself, which further catapults me to realise my purpose in life and slowly endeavour to fulfill that. It is wonderful to be surrounded by loving family and friends, who do not judge you for what you do and rather stand by you in times of need. I wish this dream lasts... Wish I didn't have to wake up and see my real life... 12.02.2023 Submitted for ;It Means A Lot To Me Poetry Contest' Sponsored by: Regina McIntosh
