A poem

Where do we go from here

The way is shrouded in mystery and despair

There isn't a way that's clear

Still hunting for the solution that's fair

-

Getting up isn't as easy to do

Beaten down by something so strong

It'll hit, and hit again, with all it's might as it beats you

And as you're down there, it's up to you how long

-

There are no fair answers to this mystery you see

Nothing was ever meant to be what you dreamed

No easy way out for ones like you and me

And noone is getting it as easy as it seemed

-

So, where do we go from here

There's only one answer to that

Forward is the way that's clear

And yes, you may still fall and splat

-

But rest not until you're in the box

For you were born to rise

Rise up and be as cunning as a fox

For it's always the hard working and smart that suprise
