Narrow.

avatar

Slightly comfortable or rather uncomfortable,
with memories of pain and travail, unforgettable,
A rough ride on the tough path,
just to be a diamond in the rough,
Are there no shortcuts to these things?

Shortcuts do exist but
with the power to also cut the glory short.
Shortcuts do exist but
why waste time on fleeting pleasures?
To take the medal before anyone
and also lay the baton before everyone

Not even swiftness and speed can aid on this road,
but steadiness and readiness shall prevail
with focus, no man shall fail,
doggedness is required for this journey,
weakness and tiredness are never options

The road is narrow but then,
the burden is light,
never say you weren't considered on this path,
If the road is narrow and you still have a heavy burden,
then we can judge it as inconsiderate,
but with the level of consideration put in place,
finishing the race should be your goal

Thank you for your time.


My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Very nice poem, actually the road is always narrow, but the burden is depending on the person if it is heavy or not, thanks for sharing it I enjoyed it very much ☺

"Shortcuts do exist but

Shortcuts do exist but

We would all like to avoid the difficult parts of life's journey, but they are the places that make us who we are. Without difficulties to overcome there would be no sense of achievement, and little appreciation of pleasure.

We are a cluster of experiences, from each one we learn and build our personality. There will be difficult moments, it will depend on us how to face them. The important thing lies within people, knowing who we are is the priority. Greetings.

There would always be difficulties and I love how you said it. Most people are deluded with this truth and the earlier we know, the better we can be.

Shortcuts do exist

With or without, it is a journey we must make
Fast or slow, we must go
Follow the path
Difficult or easy
Finding the way
To the end

It's life, everyone finds their own way

Brilliant piece! Thank you for sharing!
