Poem: Be Flexible, Be Creative

when life throws
an unexpected loop
what do you do?

rail against the injustice
so loud that everyone hears
and maybe it will be fixed?

That's fine, but...
what if it takes a long time
or it never gets solved at all?

have a plan B
get stuck in traffic
know more than one way to get there.

change gears
make the most of what you have
maybe it's a blessing in disguise

do those changes
that you've been thinking about
no time but the present

it does not mean
put up and shut up
make your feelings heard

but it does mean
be resourceful
you might surprise yourself
