Every time I try to avoid a Pothole… I hit it anyways

They’re everywhere
stagnant as I move
I try to avoid the inevitable,
Yet still despite my efforts
conflict ensues
I don’t know how to avoid these catastrophes
Every time I swerve past them I still
end up doomed,
boom then crash, I run into problems I
tried to move past.

Potholes

So as of right now, I’m a full-time Lyft Driver. Being in between jobs, I need to find something to earn money while a new opportunity presents itself. As i ride around town, picking up strangers and occasionally hearing about their lives, I come across a pothole or two. And man… do I always seem ti hit these potholes.

I’m surprised my tires haven't popped with the amount I run over religiously. Sometimes I wonder how and why there are so many around and how I manage to hit them.
Every.
Single.
Time.

If I were to make a comparison, I would say that these potholes are the little aversions in my life. Conflicts I thought I was avoiding daily. Yet somehow, they hit me right in the face. Yes, potholes…
