The Labyrinths Of Life Poem by Tony Adah

Life has threatened me
And I have refused to budge
It dribbles me and I follow its labyrinth
Except getting vexed and crossing
To the other side
It speaks to me spitting
Its vitrollic spittle
And soon I hide in my cocoon.

It tortures me to fright
And endurance is the
Shadow of bravery that walks with me
It tethers me to a pole
And I jump servering its cord
It gives me a bitter pill to swallow
And I go looking for honey
To obliterate the taste.

It takes me up giving
Me my happy mood
And it drops me down again
Sometimes it doesn't touch me
And that is when I am asleep
I wonder when this will be over
But I guess that is when
Sleep's twin brother will
Cuddle me unto its own bossom
And life remains on earth
Freeing me beyond.
