Words I Whisper When I'm Down

When I'm either extremely sad or happy,

I whisper to myself

"Nothing is permanent."

When I receive negative comments,

When I hear gossips about me,

I advise myself

To take it as a stepping stone.

When someone hurts me

either knowingly or unknowingly,

I pray to God

Not to give such a pain to them.

I always mumble to myself

To respect me,

To deserve peace,

To walk away from people who spoil the two.
