"your Path"

Shaken up, spun around, and knocked down
Left alone, hardened to stone, fighting for what you own
In a way you’ve lost, though your journey has just begun

Success is fleeting while you spend your time retreating
Significance of your life summed in a second
On your way you got lost, began your journey backward

The path winds with whipping winds
Vines creep and crawl to trip and tangle
But you are no longer lost, travel through the hardships
