The journey of life is a road that each one of us must travel on.
We’re given choices to make.
We’re given visions to take and engrave in our hearts and minds.
The journey of life takes us to many places.
We also see the many faces of new and familiar people.
The journey of life is a road that each one of us must travel on with no regrets or fear.
We must travel many miles.
We must vanquish the hardships and trials that life throws our way.
The journey of life is a road that each one of us must travel on to learn the truth about our selves.
We must take in what we can.
And learn the origins of our past.
We’re the ones that must find the key to the door of truth.
For the door of truth reveals the essence of our true selves.
The journey of life is a road that each one of us must travel on.

The author's comments:
Life really is something that everyone can relate to. I wanted to try and write something where everyone can relate to it. I think of life as like a journey. In video games when you're playing the main character, you travel to all sorts of different places and meet all kinds of people. You also come across some conflicts in the game. And in reality, we do that same sort of thing. That is what inspired me to write this.

This poem is very down t earth and real. I love the first two lines...' The journey of life is a road that each one of us must travel on. Were given choices to make.' That is so true! ( Would you mind checking out some of my work? I would lave to have your opinion!) (: Your a great writer, and I hope you keep writting!
