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.
Happiness and comfort are fair-weather friends,
They come and go as they please, not there till the end.
With my health and breath, I tread onward,
With new thoughts new friends, new experiences, as I move forward.
I can't ask for too much, its all a ride,
Taking things one step at a time,
Always hoping, always praying,
For a life worthwhile, still in the making.
Despite all avenues on earth being uncertain,
I'll still be bold, break loose,  and win.
