Poem: Bricks and Tricks

Ah. Just that nothing poem. Of course, not many people read mine. So it is ok. So, here goes another one.

Poem: BRICKS AND TRICKS

I have the bricks and tricks to build a wall

Why is everything so difficult?
Why can’t I ever catch a break?
Why my wall is never built
When every brick is in place
All the wisdom and knowledge
Yet that little thing is missing
Should I keep running the race?
Where the finish line is moving away
Or should I hang my shoes
And sit by the wayside
Is my best ever good enough
That one missing piece in the jigsaw
I seem to have lost it somewhere
All euphoria goes away
When that sinking feeling comes
That is when I sleep on it
And wake up with a smile
It is time to build another fresh wall
Because I have all the bricks and tricks.
