Don't test me...

I've been given the opportunity to accept various challenging quizzes,
ranging from Arithmetics, Science, Music, and even World History;

oh, how silly i thought it would be to ease my way on to victory by writing down numbers, letters, and also those cities that are, or have once been inhabited.

with tests like these, you would think that it can only get easier, 
but no...

one test throughout our days of living,
this ONE test,
is different above them all;

a test that is like a pestering weed,

that grows in your garden,

and no matter what circumstances you take:

weed killer,
pulling them out,
or any other method that may be used,

will never put an end to this test,

and that is the test of LIFE.

in this test,
there are no real "correct" answers;
the only answers are the infested sores that dwell amongst those choices you make,
and a single chocolate coin that resides at the end of the rainbow,
being created as an end result of a tumultuous rainstorm.

if this "test" were a man,

i would say, "Heed my words,
oh, lowly man of faint heart:

your rain of terror has ended,
i am done,
this is the final lap in this race 
and i refuse to lose to a peasant such as you.

when i cross that finish line,
being in first,
you will see what works i have been performing,
you will see all i have done to get here,
from rocks at the bottom to polished granite at the top;

and it will all be over."

for those that are in 2nd,
3rd,
or even last place,

heed my words:

your day will come.
just as there is always a rainstorm,
you will soon see a rainbow...

and a golden coin of sweetness that lies ahead.
