Share

I stop overextending

for steadiness.

I stand still,

unwilling to stress.

I’ll be here,

holding steady.

Meet me here

when you’re ready.

I am the calm

inside my storm.

I do not bend

to meet your form.

I stay rooted now,

this is my norm.

I choose my peace

I don’t perform.

I’m right here,

in joy, in light.

I won’t step down

to meet your fight.

I don’t chase,

I don’t plead.

I stand in truth

and let it lead.

If you want me

come meet me here.

In peace. In joy.

In something real.

KC
