risk being right, even when peace
is within reach, if only you’d let go of what you know —
risk being right
why? because when peace is cheap
and you sell out for a good night’s sleep
you will find
something akin to doubt creeping in, stealing
your easily won peace and good night’s
sleep
THIS POEM APPEARS IN MY BOOK “Outside the Fairy Tale”
Available on Amazon
When we risk being right, sticking to our guns in gentle, but firm kind of way, we risk becoming known as a person with convictions. Someone not easily defeated, or swayed to take the easier path. But someone with a destination. A goal. Someone who’s had a glimpse of glory and is willing to risk to get there.
