When Things Don't Work Out

 


When things don't work out

We can brood about

We can scream and shout

We can threaten with clout

We can act like louts

We can plunge into bitterness, negativity, and doubt

 

No doubt, we can

No doubt, no doubt

 

It's a choice after all.

 

On the other hand,

We can

Take our emotions firmly in hand

And make a dignified retreat

Even in defeat

 

It's a choice after all.

 

We can stand tall

In spite of a fall

 

It's a choice after all.

 

We can let go

When it's the end of the show

Take a bow

Say goodbye for now

 

Let the curtain drop

Hold our head aloft

 

It's a choice after all.
