We Can't Control

We can't control external thoughts,

two different worlds, two different plots.

We sometimes chase them, curious to see,

but what they say is just not me.

Our words, our tone, our pace, our choice, 

we're responsible for our own voice.

Quick reaction, sharp or sweet,

is up to us how we want to treat.

The sun, the moon won't change its course,

my response is mine and yours is yours.

So let the world command and spin,

I'll live my peace and calm within.

For what others say is not set in stone,

let time reveals, trust truth will show.
