There Are Other Ways To Be Strong And Brave Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

There are other ways to be strong and brave
Like not joining the angry mobs
Or not meddling with the hotheads.
There are other ways to be strong and brave
Like being matured enough not to be annoyed
With careless words from egomaniacs and power trippers

There are other ways to show your courage
Like leaving away a boiling atmosphere
A room with self righteous idiots
There are other ways to be strong and brave
When you come in contact with a narcissist
Like denying their existence
Or pretending that some people don’t exist
Or simply not being affected by their presence

And being peaceful and calm with oneself
Means being strong enough
Not to be affected by the turbulent emotions of others
