The Gentle Souls

I prefer the gentle souls
people in the right state of mind.
Short fuses and anger tantrums

cause me anxiety - their sole

purpose is destruction.
Certain things are under our control

right from the start - like passion and

reason, they are only the offspring

of what happens in our mind.

Then there is the silly mind games

people play, maybe to mask their true self

or to get a power buzz by feeling in control.
Surely choosing to be a true version of oneself

is by far a better option.
The "green-eyed monster" creeping in

and one choosing to feed it on feelings

of insecurity and envy instead of realistically

sifting through the issues.

I choose to live the rest of my life
in harmony with others, nature, the

universe, god - but mostly with myself.
Thus creating a gentle soul
playing her own little part
on the stage of life.
