It is what it is

My chance in life
is to change it

but a conundrum 

how to alter it

when you are 

almost decrepit?

How to know

what and when

to execute it

the variation

which could bring

a life to new light?

Not navel-looking

inwards but

naturally ahead

seeing what life

truly brings - joy 

laughter - hatred

shame  despair 

hope as always.

As everyone says

It is what it is!

To which I exclaim

Yes, but yet....
