WHAT HAPPENED?

What happened to patience?

It came in too late,

So I served my plate

And quickly ate!

Now I hate

Why I had this haste

Its time gone to waste

What happened to you?

No. it’s what did not happen to me…

There were rocks, stones then pebbles,

There was water, mud then dust

It was the wind, the rain and the storm

Or the sun that tanned my skin-

-and came with the thirst!

It was the ambition

Like an adrenalin injection

That led me to depression

So everyday there was tension

Perfection became an obsession

Ooh! The mistakes, the blunders and errors

Like knives, stabbing me multiple times,

Again, it’s not what happened to me,

It is what is happening!

What happens now?

The rubber is still on the road,

Everything I was told

By the young and old,

I treasure and honor  like a chest of gold!

So I am out here, am better and bold

Everything right will unfold,

The rubber-has met the road!
