Life

Life is an uphill adventure
Not a "bumpy" road
It's more scary that that
Picture this:

You're leaning forward
As you continue to walk up
This endless hill
Your calves are burning
And your breath
Is fast and irragular
Just like your heartbeat
You want to stop
You NEED to stop
To rest and catch your breath
But life doesn't stop
Just for you
You look up the hill
And see the grass and trees
Move with the light breeze
As the sun shines
But you know
It can be a hurricane
Any second
You look behind
And see blackness
The ground you walked
Crumbling into a dark abyss
Behind you
There's no turning back
If you want to live
The cement you stand on
Start to crack
So you move
To see the ground
Fall into the darkness
It's no different
With the sky
The clouds
The blue day
Shatters like a mirror
And falls into the blackness
You have two choices
To continue walking up
To the unknown
Or to fall
Into the nothingness
Which
Will you chose?

Life is an uphill adventure
It's more complicated than a "bumpy" road
But we determine how steep we walk

Nice Nice Nice nice love the message you may want to reread for any errors but, it is very out spoken toward life and how you may see and wonderful job with your own little metaphors and example of life. Anyways well done and right, truthful as we the one who hold our lives can determine how steep we walk when it comes to life.

I have told people. We must take credit for our life. Our good and bad decisions allow us to be where we are today. I like your logic and examples in this poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.

I like and agree to this concept. Honestly, a walk like this would frighten the life out of me, haha. Its a great poem. Though I suggest you read it through and correct the typos.

Good job. Keep it up. :)
