Life is a tunnel,
One must follow its route to get to its channel.
Life is a ladder,
One has to climb to get to the top.
Life is a race, only those with grace will get to the finish line.
A race with side distractions and attractions,
Only the wise will be able to face.
Life is a battle field for warriors who are zealous.
Life is a rough road, only the tough can trode.
But there are times when life kicks one in the face.
Times when the road becomes too rough and the troughs are swayed.
Times when the ladder becomes unstable and the climbers begin to shake.
Times when the battle becomes tense, and the warriors are slayed.
Times when the toughest of the tough, and the strongest of the strong get lost in life.
Times when the colour of life is ugly,
Producing different shades of ugly.
Times when one's heart begins to shrink,
As you watch everything crumble before your eyes.
Times when all hope is lost,
As life demands a price one must pay at all cost.
Life is not a bed of roses,
Life is a bed of sufferings,
Only the prepared can lie on it.
Life is not the bright sky,
It's the stormy clouds.
Life is not the day light,
It's the dark night.
Life is not a day dream,
It's a nightmare.
Life is not a fantasy,
It's a reality.
Life is a reality thst hits hard those who came unprepared.
Life is a web that traps the unaware.
Life is ugly.
Only those who accepts its reality,
Endures its brutality.
