Fuel

We all stumble into sticky situations 
Scratching our heads for explanations

Wishing things just simply went our way
So we can easily breeze through our days

What if we put the striving on the shelf 
Replacing it with a sturdier sense of self

Rooted in reality that we will face setbacks
But they don’t need to throw us off track

Reminded of our ability to adapt and cope
As our fuel is now resiliency mixed with hope
