Descent and Ascent

From time to time I feel low, Low in self-esteem, low-keyed, lowest man on the totem pole, I have acrophobia, I often descent to a lower level… The higher I aspire The lower I fall. Life mostly lowball me as such, my spirit keeps a low morale. Maybe I come across as a low bred and lowbrow person. Conspired by my stars and the moon My sea always rests at a low tide. Shell-shocked by my low-minded destiny, My fate and I must have a high level showdown soon; In the meantime, I'll keep a low profile. Be that as it may, My soul is not doomed to wander in the netherworld forever, I am the patron of high hopes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high sugar level. I am also a high-strung person, But, thankfully not of any highfalutin jargon. Shy of highways, I frequent the by lanes and side streets. After the high-handed takeover by Time, I live a high-pressured life. Methinks, now is the high time to lay down the highlights of my life. From the descent and ascent of life, this I have learned: Not to gaze so high as ambition, And to look no lower than despair.
