UNSHAKEN

They talk in circles, try to break my calm, Bragging loud, thinking it’s a charm. But I see through the noise, their shallow play, Unbothered, steady, I’m here to stay. Their words are echoes, fading with time, Unable to touch this heart of mine. They wear their masks, but I hold no fear, Truth and peace keep me clear. I don’t need their praises or their doubt, My worth is mine, inside and out. So let them chatter, let them pretend, I stand unshaken, no need to bend. I walk my path, serene and true, Focused on what I know is due. Their noise, a breeze that comes and goes, While I keep steady, calm, composed.
