Traveller's Rants
My eyes tell tales of loss, when I try, I fall and things go for a toss, The joke is that those who saw me falling, befriended me again, when I got up, they came calling, They don't know of the struggles that come with the climb, When I needed their help, they had no time. I gotta be strong and move this boulder, Too many ambitions upon my shoulder, I got nothing but these words I write, Unfulfilled dreams keep me up all night, I can't live on words and silly rhymes, But I sing what I feel inside, Life's too short and love is precious, I don't want to be someone pretentious... Life has got its many highs and lows, To some failures I have been exposed, Hopes were shattered and dreams were ruined, Then I run and hide to save my skin, It is a long journey to the top, Makes me stronger, even if I fall change tracks, or make a quick stop. I've become an experienced fool, a strong survivor, With a love and zest for life and the eye of a tiger. H
