After All

I have made some changes to hopefully improve the flow

I am faced with another big ass hill to climb.
Should I give up and wait for the end of time?
Maybe this empty valley is truly not that bad,
       after all,
It's this rut I'm in that makes me feel so sad.

Too often I ask myself, "Why do I even try?"
May be time to hang it up and simply goodbye?
Feels as if I've hit that old proverbial wall,
     after all,
I doubt if I will ever be missed at all.

Sure looks like Humpty Dumpty was a fact,
Your S.O.L. once you've cracked.
Well, in that case, I  better move along before I fry,
         after all,
It has never helped anyone to just give up and die.

I must continue to always do my best,
Return to that special place when I need to rest.
There are Friends there who will lend a helping hand,
                after all,
There's always Hope in that Promised Land.

I will keep on keeping on somehow,
For life's too precious to give up now.
To throw away so many years would truly be a crime,
               after all,
It's just another Big Ass Hill to Climb.
