The Course

Life,
Is an obstacle course,
And I am a geek trying my hardest,
As i climb the mountains get higher,
As i swim the lakes get wider,
I feel as if the world is out to get me,
I am a lost child in a grocery store,
A dog chasing it's tail,
I am pointless,
But as mountains get higher,
I get stronger from climbing,
And as lakes get wider,
I get stronger from swimming,
Lost in a grocery store,
I grow smarter,
And as long as i still can,
I will run in circles,
FFor i am still running,
And running is better than walking,
And far worse can occur.
Eventually,
I will master this course,
And move to the next.
