The road to success is not straight.
There is a curve called Failure,
a loop called Confusion,
speed bumps called Friends,
red lights called Enemies,
caution lights called Family.
You will have flats called Jobs.
But, if you have a spare called Determination,
an engine called Perseverance,
insurance called Faith,
a driver called Jesus,
you will make it to a place called Success.

I really like this quote its really true. Speed bumps called friends, friends sometimes get in the way and some aren't even true that make you fail, curves called failure, failure slows you down and is hard to get past, caution lights called family, because your family is always looking out for whats best for you, flats called jobs, work is so boring. But as long you have determination, perseverance, faith and God, a person will always succeed. I really enjoyed this poem and I think many people could relate to it.

For me its the speed bumps. I always seem to get screwed over by my friends. I've realized I only have 3 true friends when for a really long time I thought I was lucky enough to have many. I always treat other the way I want to be treated and would never do a friend wrong so I dont see why I deserve all the betrayals thats happened to me. But thats life and slowly I made it over those speed bumps.
