Perverseness

A poem a written at school

Life isn't a glamorous road

It's a cold stone wall.

It's gated with barbed wire 

wrapped around

Don't quiver for

beyond that is your 

goal.

Most begin on the spot

unprepared and careless

Your climb the wall to

reach your goal

but the barbed wire

cut your fingers and toes

your fall down

dust yourself up

inside yourself behind

the rising tears

"Try . . .Again."

For beyond that barbed wired

is that stone cold wall

is even more is your goal

For life isn't a glamorous road

Author's Note

ignore grammar problems, what do you think of the dialogue, etc.

For beyond that barbed wire
is the stone cold wall...
Well penned....

I think that this poem has a great concept to it, almost written to be as a warning. I could just see a sign that says, "Beware, all ye who enter... life's a b***h, enter at your own risk" or something like that. Great job :)

Life a S.O.B thanks
