Am I On the Right Path

Travelling through the pristine path,
     which has very few foot prints,
and knowing that it is a risky footpath;
  Help me through or give me a hint;
       Am I on the right path?

Despite the relentless hindrance,
  and amidst all the hatred,
I traversed a pretty long distance,
    Tell me before I get faded,
      Am I on the right path?

With mind full of inexplicable chaos
    and heart full of concealed torment
I bow before you, Show me an oasis,
      adjudge my unanswered lament
   and tell me, Am I on the right path?
