Life's little pitfalls All alone in the world without any help from anyone. I struggle through life's little pitfalls. I reach a goal but stumble back further. I cry and scream then continue the struggle again. I finally reach the top of the struggle so secure and on my way, but once again, life's little pitfalls appear pushing...
