9 - The Peacemaker

Peace.

I just want peace.

Yet everywhere I turn,

Hatred seethes and burns.

I do my best to remedy,

Arguments and disharmony.

My opinions and problems pushed aside, 

Not important enough to confide.

No one would listen anyway.

Some say I'm calming,

A steady rock in a raging sea.

A hand, wounds gently balming. But I don't really know, me.

I'm so busy, trying to keep the peace. 

My own thoughts on important matters, cease.

Not that I care anyway.

My middle name is practically.

Complacency.

Little things don't matter to me,

Big things too.

I don't really know what's wrong with me,

I don't know what to do.

 I don't know what I think.

 I don't know how to be,

Me.

I just know how to be,

Everybody.

I keep the peace, yes.

But at what cost?
