The Hardest Peace

The hardest part is
not telling you what to do.
The hardest part
is not winning.
I don’t
want you
to be the loser.
When I really look.
The hardest part
is trusting
my belief
so much that
I don’t need
to win.
Well,
I do.
I believe
in peace.
It might be
the only thing
I believe in.
I don’t believe
in meeting shame
with shame.
I don’t believe
in bouncing
hate.
The hardest part
of peace is, peace
is quiet
in a screaming match.
Peace doesn’t
start with you.
It is you.
Sometimes
peace is
allowing
allowing
whatever is
the opposite of
peace.
Peace is not
fixing the moment.
Peace is
the moment.
Peace is
the journey.
Peace is
This.
