Have you ever felt so?

Just like a stone slab on the heart

This thing called frustration

Like a thousand of evil beings chasing after you

Trying to run away from it

No matter how difficult or tiring it is,

You continue to climb to the top

Thinking that you would be safe

Keep on moving

But why, has not the end draws nigh?

If that one’s life limits?

You doubt so

Unable to accept that

Rejecting that very thought,

You descend from your flight

Facing the demons’ heads on

You push through them with your bare hands

Tired and exhausted

Your escape seems to be coming to an end

After all the struggles

Would there be a heaven waiting?

With a sudden stomp on one feet,

You came to an abrupt halt

Dealt with a mind blow

You see upon you

An abyss lying ahead

With the fast approaching demons

Should you leap?

After the struggle, lies a seemingly abyss

Yet through that abyss, lies within the heaven

At times, we hesitate before we take the plunge,

Hence the unnecessary pain and suffering

—————————————————————————————————————————————-

You see

Facing failure through the eye is not the challenge

The challenge is

How bold you are to take up the challenge

To free up your mind of all doubts

To take the plunge into nothingness

And come out a conqueror, of yourself
