we’re the ones that choose to either
sink or rise
when misfortune strikes

we’re the ones that choose to either
struggle for control
or surrender to life’s flow

we’re the ones that choose to either
react with chaos or silence

it’s us
everything
is up to us

we don’t have control
over many many things
but the thing we do have control over
is the most powerful of all

it is ourselves
our reactions
our attitudes

if we have our act in tact
if we choose rising over sinking
if we choose surrender over struggle
if we choose staying silent over screaming

everything falls into place

it all ever so effortlessly
falls under our liking
