The Journey

I'm going on a Journey exactly where I do not know I don't know when I'm leaving and don't really want to go. It's a Journey everyone must make there's not much more to say Unlike most other Journeys this Journey's just one way. I won't need a suitcase or other travel gear I must be sure to make amends and get my conscience clear. So I better get my butt in gear make sure I'm well prepared this trip can happen anytime so I'm a little scared! I hope it's not for many years but I'm getting ready just in case I'll try walk the straight and narrow till this Journey does take place!

That journey is inevitable, but we all want to see it deferred for as long as possible. You have written this poem very well with great wording and rhyming.
