Yes and no
Then up and down
Life’s endless ride
Merry go round
Can’t make it stop
Enjoy the pace
To stay on top
To win first place
I can’t keep up
Stamina failed
When is enough
Let the ship sail
To sell your soul
Not worth the cost
Struggle and toil
It’s all but lost
Begin again
Another day
Another game
You shouldn’t play
But play, you do
It’s second hand
Nothing to prove
The crowd demands
You give it all
All that you can
You have to crawl
Before you stand
Then crawl again
As you concede
You made the plan
It made you think
This endless ride
This senseless game
To say goodbye
Don’t cost a thing

So heartfelt! Life is about challenges and about getting up again and again! 😍
This was a powerful poem! Fantastic!
Good poem.
"Don't cost a thing"--except for tomorrow & whatever comes next. And sometimes that seems a small price to pay.
Great poem! Yes a constant merry go round! ♥️🪬
