Now, I wish to step out of the prison of my environment (poem)

Whether, I am stuck in traffic, when I really had to reach there in time,
Whether, my husband is talking disrespectfully about me, when I am around an old friend,
Whether, my kids are being their stubborn self, when I am wanting them to bring out their best,
Wherever I am or with whoever I am, now I am choosing to be cheerful instead of feeling helpless.
