Coping Skills...!


Thrusting and parrying, measuring the length.
Violent or peaceful, depending on the game!
Withdrawal or attack, considering the strength;
Passive or aggressive; it’s resistance just the same.

Prejudice or alliance, decisions we have faced.
Immediately or never is the time to make a change.
Acceptance, rejection; it’s all a matter of taste.
Cleave to the familiar or cower from the strange.

Shouts and whispers around the conference table.
Smiling or pouting, whichever wins the most!
Tantrums or self-control; either, when you’re able.
Weaknesses and strengths all of us can boast.

Within or external; conflicts seen and felt;
Whether a dreamed fantasy or frightful realism.
Internally or outwardly, with which will things be dealt?
Coping with life using all of our mechanisms!
