If you think being calm is just a silent breeze,

it’s not; it’s staying firm with trembling knees.

It’s sitting with fear when it won’t go away,

and holding doubts that show up to stay.

Some days, calm feels like folding the mess,

or faking a smile in a wrinkled dress.

But you take a breath, you make it through,

not for the world, but for YOU being you.

A calm woman’s not just for the ‘gram,

she is the everyday truth, not just a glam.

It’s choosing herself, her highs and her lows,

giving all of her a safe place to grow.
