“When facing a problem
The First Step is stopping
Stop letting where you are at
Be the mindset that determines how far you can get

Yeah, you’ve been cut plus stabbed in the back
But use a suture
Fix your eyes on a time in the future
Wrap your hands round the straps of your boots
Or your bow aimed by you
A well-trained archer after success a target much larger
You are not a problem
You are THEE
Problem Solver

The Second Step
Remember where you were
Experience has knit the sack, your quiver
So set a goal, get your arrow, let it go
And when you grow
Tell them, Oh . . . I understand
Your story
Might be the sword in her hand
Tell him, You are me.
Tell of how you used to be
the epitome of POV-erty
But now you know the best way out undoubtedly is PO-etry”
