The set back

The Set back
Waking up each and single day
May seem like a accomplishment
For you have made it through a hellish day
But what if it’s just the opposite?
What if a accomplishment
Is simply a tip toe from a set back?
What if a job offer may seem like you can grow
But in reality
The  yes to go ahead
Is really a no you cannot move forward?
And what if all the  history books
Are just a adult version of childhood make believes
Even in you become a well known person
And a step up on the ladder of legendary status
Your own ego pushes you off causing someone else to step up
Set backs can lead to greater journeys
But one must hurry
For if one waits
The chance you carried around in your pants pocket
Has now expired
And the tune you carry
Is simply now
Being heard as screeching of tires as they skid and slip off a cliff
And into the jagged rocks of the abyss below
The truly the show will be game over
