Climb

Life is like a fight of stairs.
Sometimes you will go up,
Sometimes you will go down,
But they are only stairs.
Whatever life throws at you.
Don’t let it knock you down the stairs.
You have climbed. Obstacles on stairs,
Are like those in life.
Stairs can be wide or long.
Stairs can creak and sometimes break.
But remember life is a climb.
In life you may feel like your broken.
Or like you have creaks you can’t fix.
But such problems are life.
Life is what you make it.
Life is a climb.
Time and time again we belittle ourselves.
We focus on the bad in life.
We look after the little situations.
And don’t ever see the big picture.
If you take the time, to experience the climb.
You’ll see that its just a up and down battle.
You can’t constantly worry about what people think.
They are mere blockages.
The real people you listen too.
Are those who care about you.
Though life may seem hard now,
All you have to do is climb.
