Don't answer harm with harm
Not because it's small — but because it spreads
I won't repay what was done to me
I won't say: Now it's my turn
I step back from the reflex to strike
Peace — as far as it depends on me
Not surrender
Not denial
Just my part
I leave retaliation out of my hands
I don't carry what poisons me
Justice is real — but it's not mine to execute
You say: Hit back
He says: Don't mirror the blow
You say: Protect yourself
He says: Protect your heart
Loving my enemy does not erase the wrong
It stops the wrong from rewriting me
Be still
Don't burn inside
Let go of rage
It only breeds more harm
I leave retaliation out of my hands
As far as it depends on me — I choose peace
This is not weakness
This is restraint
And restraint takes strength
