A Pantoum

[ayoub]

We are born into this road alone
Without guarantee of good guidance
We will die on this road alone
No matter how many walk beside us

Without guarantee of good guidance
We follow only what we are shown
No matter how many walk beside us
they cannot walk us to our goal

We follow only what we are shown
observing actions of parents and peers
they cannot walk us to our goal
It is alone we must face our fears

Observing actions of parents and peers
even with love to hold our hand
It is alone we must face our fears
For that is how we entered this land

Even with love to hold our hand
We will die on this road alone
For that is how we entered this land
We are born into this road alone

Thanks voldelange... That was fun!

Thank you very much :D

I didn't think of this poem as a sad one, more of a self affirmation...
