L

sometimes
you have to take the L
let the punches
roll over your body
sink into the fabric
etch the reality of situations.
the urge to resist
turn the tide fight ignore
kicks into gear.
energy from the reserves
comes online.
the panel asks a simple question.
as you stare at the options
the weight of the decision
presses on your shoulders.
sometimes
you have to admit to the lose.
