They goad me

Life is there for living

But sometimes we get trapped

Between the petty drama’s 

And we feel we need to act,

Out a role defined by others

Who wish to drag us in

To the negative toxicity

In which they are living in.

I try to rise above this 

But frustratingly I find

These people manage to worm their way

Deep within my mind.

They anger and they torment me

At times when I am weak

I have to then remind myself

It’s about them

And not me.

I know I am better than this

So I meditate away the rage

I take myself to a mindful place

Of love, compassion, peace and grace.

It plays on me that they get to me

And I wonder am I flawed

Then I realize, yes !

because I am human

And we all suffer some flaw

No one is ever perfect

And knowing your weakness is fine

It helps recognise just how we are designed.

It teaches us to go to work on practising on self

And need for self love and self worth

For good spiritual health.
