You are running through life at a dizzying pace
Not caring where you are going, until life brings you face to face
With an adversity that forces you to slam the brakes
One sentinel event is all it takes
For life as you were leading it to come to a grinding halt
And you are left disoriented as your defense mechanisms default
No longer work, you have to come up with a game plan new
The routine that was working is no longer going to work for you
*
At first, changing course seems like a colossal inconvenience
But after going through the initial frustration intense
You realize this as a golden opportunity
For you to slow down mentally and physically
And take time to reflect and redesign
Your life that with your values and goals aligns
*
The rat race was leeching the life out of you
You stepped out because of an adverse event, that is true
But this can turn out to be a blessing in disguise
This is what you needed all along, you realize
