Friction

Swimming against the current

Walking into the wind

Trying to lift yourself up

After a "friend" knocks you down once again

Life's harsh reality:

Something will always block your way

Overcoming this truth

Begins with what you think, then say

What is, is

The moment quickly becomes the past

We either accept this truth

Or peace never last

The energy we give

Is often our first mistake

Emotions evoked

Brings an opportunity - motivation or hate

Say yes to this life—

The good, the bad, all it brings

This keeps us out of the fire

We can let go and not cling

What we resist persists

Take it in, let it flow, don't fight

Accepting reality

Unshackles the sufferings and fright

What we resist persist

Creating friction inside

Control the controllable

Now go live a good life
