Inner Peace

If it knocks on the door like a salesman, peers through the windows like the in-laws, dropping by unannounced, complains that the door is locked only once they’ve tried to open it…

If it moves into your mental spaces without an invite, drops off its baggage on the way in, and keeps on calling you, no matter how many times you hit decline…

If it refuses to turn off your check engine light, keeps on messing with the thermostat, setting off the battery beep of the fire detector every twenty-seven and a half seconds…

It might not threaten your life, but the cost is still too high if it takes your inner peace. 

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
