Lone Journey

You enter this world alone and leave the world alone,
Besides for a few companions here and there, the journey is majorly your own
You meet some people on your way, but just for a short duration,
And they disappear from your life, only to meet maybe in the next salvation
One day you cry, one day you smile
One day you halt, one day you walk a mile
One day you lose hope, one day you dream
One day you dance, one day you scream
Amidst this ever changing state of mind and inner call
You wonder what is the point of it all
Life becomes a maddening journey oscillating between ecstasy and pain
Without a higher purpose, how can you remain sane
Life destroys you at times, stripping you of all your joys and hope
And laughs at you after tying you in a rope
You fight hard to keep moving, wiping your tear
You grow a thick skin, losing touch with your emotions and fear
You keep moving, without realizing where you are going
After all it's all about winning the fights and keeping the ball rolling
Just when you think you've got it all figured and you're just fine
A breathtaking sunset shows you a peek into life's true purpose and shine
You finally begin to look within for answers and clarity
And realize that life is not a struggle, but an inner journey to infinity
