GUTS FOR GLORY

Yet another journey for me

I walk through a path so free

Paved so smooth but filled with quicksand

The drag is one I must withstand

Forward ever I stride

Backward never I hold on to pride

On my face are cascades of sweat

It's so hard but I persist with strength

My eyes stay on the price

But I wonder how high I'll rise

Scales off my eyes reveal the enemies in disguise

Bats and bees, mosquitoes and fleas

Snakes and sticks, vultures on trees

All these and plots to see me deceased

Now I feel jaded

Feeble in health because my hope's faded

My vision gets blurry as my eyes strain for glory

But I unleash my guts for what the price is worth
