Life Is Like a Waterfall

My life is as the waterfall  No matter the effort I put forth I continue to fall into the canyon With strength of hope and prayers  I climb against forces with  my head raise to the heavens As water gushes over the mountain top Determined not to give out or accept failure I dug my toes deep into crevices on the mountainside  Grasping for breathe as I'm hit in the face by the cold water My mouth is open taking advantage of fresh air My eyes are blurred by water and mist as in summertime And crusted over by frost as in fall season Chilly springtime spawning tornadoes and windstorms Ice sickles hanging from trees and power lines I die a little inside again as life is being renewed all around me Life will go on and I will be forgotten like the ancient dead Having failed both my classes, losing joy for my studies What will I do now, I can't go to school for the first since two thousand four I'm sure I'll be suspended for a year, trying to study breaking free of my cocoon  With just a year left to graduate pending my Associates Degree  I'll have to wait it out all alone this spring and summer semesters, humiliated  I have the heavy of the world on my face since I'm told I look like hubby's mother After carrying a smile on my face like the sunshine, everyday  Just to hide the night having no stars or moon in my heart, I rain tears of blood inside
