The Road We Travel

We taunted by those we love, Fastened by those we meet. We are endangered by the future, Rescued by fate. We are wearied by stage, Refreshed by ending. We are put into strife by ambition, And receded by triumph. We are afflicated by passion, Wounded by persuasion. We are failed by our efforts, Consoled by our past. We are shattered by experience, Reconditioned by consequence. We are held by false, And evicted by truth. We are pursued by gloom, Eluded by fire. We are bothered by reality, Delighted by fantacy. We are incarcerated by existance, Set fee by quietus.
