The Journey

  *door opens*

The begginning...

         a loud screech: the primal scream

a young soul awakens to a daydream

Starts the journey in a blank page

as he leaves his motherly cage

The road ahead is paved with suffering

that may be the reason he is crying

But he'll find the strength to move along

he just needs a place, somewhere to belong

 Step by step, he'll grow and learn

 that joys are few and must be earned....

 that aims must be set high

 so if not achieved you end up nearby

   It's the proper time to make mistakes

   he is still young, young enough for remakes

   But eventually he must his rebellion subdue

   to become the man that he is supposed to

   There are many paths towards the same destination

   he'll choose with caution, he can only go one direction

   He won't let himself be blinded by greed

   nor by easy ways to succeed

     Time has taught him well

     no trace of the old rebel

     His ideals now are strong

     he can tell right from wrong

     Overcomed barriers fill his course

     and misguided actions filled with remorse

   But all his regrets he has to suppress

   because time is a luxury he does not possess

Dreams pursued, memories construed

his journey now he must conclude

The end is near,

increases the fear...

last chapter and thus the final tear

*door closes*
