Day 12 - Pacifist
by Karen MichelleThere are two types
of people in this world -
those who will
fight fiercely
and those who will
surrender silently.
I am both,
on any given day,
but when the writing
is on the wall
(such as it is now)
I would rather
accept my fate peacefully
than fight a losing battle.
It does not mean
that I do not find all of this
a bitter pill to swallow,
nor that I am not
surprised to find myself here.
It is
and I am.
But such is life,
as the old adage goes.
And nothing lasts forever.
Not even us. 07/04/2017 Posted on 07/04/2017
