It’s Life, Get it Over With
- a Poem
- by Jethro André Jolliffe
You can have a goal in life
You can set yourself up, perfectly
You can have the best college
And a good job.
We put things upon a pedestal
Think highly of them
And just as they don’t go our way,
We push them off?
Life can be a rollercoaster,
People can tell you to set ambitions
But, no one will ever tell you
What to do if you ever incur a failure.
Guess you just have to deal with it yourself,
Pick yourself, and don’t try, try again
Till you succeed
Rather take it in your stride and get it over with.

Good sense there Jethro… always forge meaning in your trials and seek your identity…
Excellent!!
Truly said you have to deal with it yourself ! Very few people will stand by in times of failure and need n they have to be valued. In the end one has to figure out for oneself n take the ups and down in life with patience n perseverance knowing this too shall pass .So well written n thought provoking .
