What Will You Choose?

by TAB_that's me

They are all around.
Everywhere you look.
Frustrations.

Little ones, big ones,
in the air,
everywhere.
Frustrations.

Want to hit your computer
with a hammer?
Throw the phone
across the room?
Frustrations.

Stub your toe
on the table leg.
Whack your elbow
on the doorway.
Frustrations.

What if you could
replace frustration
with peace?
Would you? Could you?
Will you?

Computer freeze? Hug it.
Literally --
put your arms around it
and squeeze.
Peace.

Stub your toe? Hit your elbow?
Laugh it off, let it go.
Thank God you have a toe.
Peace.

Husband being a jerk?
Boss piss you off?
Breathe in, breathe out,
change your attitude.
Peace.

A smile, a laugh
a peaceful thought,
change your day.
Frustration or peace?
