Jungle

Should I move on?
Or should I surrender?
I really don’t know what to do
It seems like every time I walk a step forward
I slip and fall in the mud beneath my feet
Giving in to the path of life
I get up and try to move on
But I just fall again
Sometimes I sit and weep
Wondering if anyone will ever find me
Out here in the middle of the Jungle
Where the wild beasts prowl
Begging me to give in to them
Begging me to fall
And never have the courage to get up again
So I try not to surrender
I try to stay strong
But my efforts are in vain
Most times my feet can no longer move
And I fight myself to stay awake when darkness falls
I know that if I give up now
I will never get the opportunity
To get a second chance
At love
At hope
At triumph
At life
So for now
I still have enough courage
To pick myself up and start back walking
Down the slippery path
Called Life.
