The Game

It seems as though I go through these changes every year at this time,
For every positive in my life,
There is always a negative that follows close by.
It always wins!

I try so hard to compete in this game of life but feel as though I am losing ground with each step forward,
Falling short of all expectations...
Whether my own, or others.
And then I fall!

I will keep my faculties about me this time.
I will not falter, nor fade away into the History Books.
Looking ahead, noticing every obstacle this time.
And steering clear of all obstructions.

The hurdles that are layed before me will not cause my social demise.
They will not ever cause me to fail.
I scoff at these mountainous problems,
And hold true my footing till the very end.

I shall be diligent.
I will be steadfast and true.
I shall finish till the end,
And I will prevail and win!
