When a position doesn't come through

I have Brene Brown to thank for this line of thinking. Indeed it helps to externalize such things, beyond the Fig Newtons and Pringles

When a position
Doesn't come through
What
Does it mean?
It wasn't meant
To be?
It wasn't any good
Anyway?
It's amazing the stories
We live with
In our heads
Until they even become
Part
Of the way
We walk.
Part
Of the way
We eat.
We find ourselves
Consuming
One more sleeve
Of Fig Newtons.
Most of a can
Of Pringles.
I'd like to say
I cope
In healthy ways.
I count
My blessings.
Indeed
Sometimes
I do.
It helps not to buy
Fig Newtons
or Pringles.
