Pacify

(Another poem from my book Through the Veil.  It's available all over amazon and through Barns & Noble. Please consider purchasing to support a stranger and her writing habit.  Also any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you!)

Pacify

Peace...
I whisper so the hurt settles.
I do it to myself I suppose,
Always wanting something new,
Always wanting something.
I'm never happy with what I'm given,
Selfish, stupid girl.

Peace...
I whisper to myself so that the rage swallows itself back up.
There will be no pain today.

No,
Today there will only be peace.
Quiet everything inside,
So it doesn't poke sorrow and antagonize agitation.
