Valley of Life

Like no one want's to get stuck in a valley: A hollow or surface depression of the earth Bounded by hills or mountains,the earth's bottompit, So goes the story of my good friend struggling in: THE VALLEY OF LIFE He can't fail,he tells himself Worn out but still spurred on Determined to make his mark in life He is expected not to go far at all He still keeps his head above the water Afraid to drown, cos he can't swim Scuttling to dry land like a lost chick Chickened out once, but not this time Prepared to take on any adversity Arms akimbo,ready for the strifes A strong man he is , but inside he's a mess Fighting a life long battle Muscling his way out of this state Fought battles,now he's faced with storms Breaking down barriers has become a hobby His headway keeps changing its position Suddenly it strikes him real hard At last his head and heart reach an accord But alas,even his heart is divided About right and wrong,on up and down Drowning his last glass of liquor Calls for more,but its all gone He smiles and dejavou hits him He sees his life in the situation at hand At fourty-four and nothing to show Used to best ,now refuses to come last He wants to prove his mettle,leave the ghetto A dream he has had for thirty years Many have given up on him,though he still sees the light Suddenly their is power outage,the power goes out Now its darkness he sees,dejavou all over again At the brink of success,disaster strikes He stands up and walks out He stretches his arms to the sky He screams, "i've had enough","take me now lord" Then power is restored,lights back again He pockets his hands,shakes his head and walks away.
