Life Is a Journey

A step I take, 
Another I make. 
Looking around, 
I, alone in my bound,
Then looking at my distance
And thinking about resistance
But no, on I go
In my journey to my destination,
All I see is distractions
The more they come, 
The longer my journey turns
I could avoid,
But couldn’t prevent
So I moved along 
With a meek pretense
Then I stumble,
Refusing to crumble
 I continued with my struggle
And finally,
There I got
Standing on my exact spot
And looking at what I have done 
I start to tear up.
All I did 
Was to pave the way
And seeing others on the same trail
Made me understand 
That I have completed 
The journey of life.
