What We Perceive

Stress in today's world is hard to relieve. Surrounded by what is meant to deceive. How we view things, comes by what we perceive. Success should be based on what we achieve. More times than not, how much we receive. Something we lose, we strive to retrieve. Losing someone we love, we painfully grieve. When facing anger, turn around and leave. Be mindful of lies, in the tales some weave. Become the person, who you trust in and believe.

Hello Sandra, I like the line when facing anger turn around and leave. Two days ago i was facing anger. We had company and the family member said something to me, that made me angry, I could not leave, so I said nothing. That way no bad feelings were felt by both parties. Hugs.
