Life’s Potholes Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

Like a pothole in an otherwise smooth road,
there are also pothole-like people in your life
that you ought to avoid.
Life potholes can be enemies or plastic friends
or they can be incorrect ideas
or unsolicited situations

They can be tangible or intangible
Potholes are there,
Giving you a moment of “reality check”
That you are traveling and not stagnating
That you are in motion and not at halt
Big or small
Potholes can be irritating or enjoying!

You can avoid them
You can cover them
Neglect them and meet them again
as you go on with your travel
in the road called life.
But sometimes it can be enjoyable
to bump with those potholes once in a while.
