Coping
When stress is high
or bad times arise,
we all have our ways
to get through the day.
Some of us laugh,
pray the moment will pass.
Some turn to drink,
bottle's gone in a blink.
Some of us cry,
and then wonder "why?"
Some of us scream,
hope it's all a dream.
Some of us smoke,
find peace in a toke.
Some meditate,
deep breathe it away.
Some of us lie,
smile, say "I'm fine."
Some need a hug,
show a little love.
So we can survive,
we cope with our lives.
Inspired by lyrics from Starsailor's "Some Of Us," which I heard on
the radio recently and just had to write about. Obviously some coping
strategies are better than others, but I feel the point is that
dealing with life's less pleasant parts is different for everyone.
"Some of us laugh
some of us cry
some of us smoke
some of us lie
but it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives"
