Twists and Turns

All those twists and turns to this place now bring me, amidst humps and bumps on long, deserted highways. Failures far too many to count, success very few in between; discouragements strewn all over dragging, pulling me down under. Yet mighty proud to surrender though the spirit grows weary, while faint lights out yonder endlessly flicker, beckoning. So here I am proudly standing, proclaiming hey, I am winning! thanks to an inner fire that burns, unfazed by those twists and turns.
