Life is so mysterious sometimes. I wonder what you meant when you said “be a diplomat.” There really is no rulebook, but we all seem to make it out okay in the end. Thank you for sharing.

I wanted to use “be diplomatic” but it didn’t fit the rhyming pattern, so I changed it to “be a diplomat”. To me it means being mindful of how you treat people and events going on around you.
Thank you for your comment! Life is mysterious and like you said, it somehow seems to workout in the end.

Thank you! I had fun writing this poem, it felt right to keep it short because the first thing that popped into mind after reading the prompt was “just be yourself” and there’s not much else I had to add to that. I tried my best to capture the thought into words.
