The Journey

Traveling day by day, trying to reach a destination which has no directions on the way, at times I feel near, at times I feel I’m nowhere…

I know not the look of this place I’m trying to reach, but I’ll know when I get there. And even though at times it seems my troubles and trials have me weak, although at times I feel like giving up and accepting defeat, I always remember that smooth seas do not make skillful sailors, so I take my troubles and trials and try to be strong, because I know day by day they’ll make me into that person I want to become, that very one, vigorous, strong, wise and in command…

I shall continue to fight even after I’ve fallen to my feet, for I was taught wise words from a tender age, “Fortis Cadere Cedere Non Potest” translating, “The brave may fall but never yield” and even though success is easily forgotten when overshadowed by defeat, I shall be the one to remember for its that same feeling I got from success that will be the motivation I need, for its that same feeling I’ll always be after, for I like the feeling I got, the feeling of success, best among the lot… 

So I shall forever fight, I’ll be that frog that fought with his last breath even while being devoured by the stork, I’ll keep fighting to the end until i reach my unknown destination… Until my journey ends, and I’ll try and take with me, families and friends, but with or without them, my journey continues, my journey will not end, until I’ve finished, until I’ve finished my purpose in the end…
