Nerdfighters Gazette

A slow and steady pace,
Up the tallest hill;
Anticipation climbing, too.
Feeling confident in my choices,
And what I plan to do.

Then, I reach the top.
See the lights stretching far;
My future ahead of me.
Determined to reach my goals,
All the lights that I can see.

Suddenly I fall,
My stomach doing flips;
My future suddenly unclear.
I cannot see how those goals,
Could ever have seemed so near.

Before I know it,
I’ve reached the end worse off;
Because of what I’ve felt.
Once again unhappy with the things,
The life, that I’ve been dealt.
