Travails of a Lad

These umpteen times I sought for answers,
These many days I searched for a respite 
for my unwavering troubles,
Clouded was my journey,
Foggy was my pursuit, 
I ascended the ladder to the Divine,
More were my assailants, 
Was I born this way?
Was I crafted for this?
My questions,
My inquires,
None has answers to,
Somewhere inside the mystery,
I still look at the bright side,
I still keep hope alive,
For where light lives,
As narrow as can be,
The dying is hopeful,
Glory to the wick,
That harbingers new dawn.
