Not destructively Reacting

I feel that;

With all the anger out there,
It’s felt hard to not react,

It’s felt hard to just,
Witness while remaining sufficiently able to distinguish between hurtful emotional energy directed at me (that (also) reacts within me) and reality (in whichever form(s) to whichever extent(s)),

It’s felt hard to just,
Notice and allow myself to attain and sustain my own internal peace..,

So yes,
I’ll just continue trying to witness,
While remembering to develop and/or regain an ability to,
Distinguish between emotional intensity that fills myself,
And actual reality,

And (for example) regardless of any others’ “justifications” for threatening me,
Taunting me,
And/or (of whichever form to whichever extent) adding to a painful emotional reaction within me,

Well,
I can still notice it,
Without becoming swept away in its’ current then reacting severely unconsciously destructively,

So,
Although it has felt hard,
I feel that,
It is still possible for myself to just,
Remain centered,
Witness the reactions (emotional and/or physical),
While NOT letting them shape my points of view NOR underlie my actions,

I can still practice,
Noticing the internal sensations,
Noticing the changing frequencies of internal expansions and contractions,
While remaining centered,
And NOT destroying (and/or however harming myself) in destructive externally manifested reactions (and/or actions),

I again can just,
Witness,
And NOT destructively react
