Pieces To The Puzzle

Ladder Of Life.

the rungs are laid out before me

and so i begin to climb

i take one step up

only to find myself

being pulled right back down

i hear whispers and laughter

from those who enjoy

watching others fail

it takes everything in me

to stand back up again

i start the long climb

hoping this time i'll make it

i get halfway there

when something stops me

no matter how hard i try

i cant break its hold

im stuck here in this place

moving nowhere fast

im too tired to fight back now

surprisingly it stops

but i cant find the strength

to move to the next step

im worried about what else

is out there waiting for me

i know i cant stay here

i pull myself to the next

and the next and the next

the end is in sight now

i cant help but move faster

but i get too carefree

i slip right back down

my spirit is broken

and no hope remains

i look up and think about giving in

but i dont want to stay here

i want things to change

then i realize its a cycle

that will never come to an end

no matter how much i try

it wont stop until its time

i have a new goal now

find the step with the best view

and LIVE till its time to climb
