The Road

Recently I have been through a personal journey, faced with unexpected challenges. This is the inspiration for this poem.

————

I see the road, I see the twists and turns

This road is empty, a dirt road seldom used

The pot holes are deep, they are hard to spot

The edges are rough, cliffs on both sides

I let myself feel the fear, feel the anxiety

I let it go now, I replace it with strength

I will leave nothing behind, the whole of me will tackle this road

I will meet this journey head on, I will not back down

Just like in life, the unexpected will happen

I will take it in my stride, I will find the way around

I will reach the end, stronger then when I started.
