Power To Choose
People putting up road blocks
No way to always avoid them
Benefit of the doubt is a burden
Becomes effortless to condemn
Criticism coming too easy if the
System won't align by your design
Exasperation firmly entrenched
When plans don’t fall into line
Our origin story of aggravation
Has roots that are tricky to trace
Making it hard to hold the space
To offer up others proper grace
Can’t change who anyone is
Can alter your own attitude
Lead with acceptance instead
Increasing your emotional latitude
Start to realize instant irritation
Is no longer your default state
The decision rests in your hands
To update how you want to relate
