Conversation VS Confrontation, When Pride Aches For Peace

She walked into the room with deliberate swagger

contained and controlled, maintaining her calm

With the potential of piercing her heart like a dagger

her conscience control hit the room, like a bomb

The truth buried beneath layers of exaggeration

stirring the pot, trying to claim control

She said, it's imperative to teach understanding, without aggression

without any effort she made their (proverbial) heads roll

Acknowledged they both shared unique vulnerabilities

she fell easy, like the water seeking its level

In one continual motion, embraced predictability

dissolving the need to argue or wrestle

In one intentional, unbroken motion

she stood, demonstrating an outcome they didn't expect

Rising above the chaos and confusion

both receiving satisfaction they would never forget

****

Anything else is just noise

    Good job and we must think before acting in doing anything and check options before confrontations begin.
