nothing to hitch on
hiking each step life long
maybe cheering partner by side
or not solo walk fine
its all about detours
mistakes and mirages understood
sometimes standing mostly on knees
crawling through muck will be seen
mapping of great ride
lost directions with birth time
chance at proving worth blind
can’t fake growth burns soul finds
self work makes one stronger
avoidance creates repetition horror
truth discernment death’s roll
only we choose failure known.
