My Right to Peace

Don't let cowardice impede you,
don't let fear control your life,
don't let feelings be your kilter,
don't let love control your strife.

Compassion is a virtue
but right action is as well.
Choose the measure for your meanness
based on where you find your hell.
It's not simple, wouldn't want it
if it was. I'd be a mess
If every time I felt uneasy
I turned it to distress.
But when I'm laughing
hard and easy
at the walls or nothing else
I know that if I wasn't
Something must be in repulse.
Keep me easy is my moto,
its by this that I find peace
but when easiness is wanting
I find easy in the crease
right between the pain of acting
and the pain of my release
on the border of compassion
There within my right to peace.
