Above all choose tranquillity
when the rut is a quicksand
Above all choose chaos
when all is already lost
Beneath it all, you’ll find the truth
On the side of truth, you’ll find you
Carry wisdom in your anger
Search for light in your darkness
The shadow awaits you daily
the stars dance in their past glory
Part ways with your insecurities
Shed the skin you’ve worn to hide
Be vulnerable above all.

Yes. It’s important to have truth in our anger otherwise the hurt that it can cause could be devastating for someone.

Choose chaos when everything is lost,sink deeper into misery to perpetuate misery ,where misery is no misery.

For sure. We all grow at our own pace, that is why the title is a reminder for living because we can get off the path of growth a lot of times. Thank you for your time 🙂
