Meaning of a Journey

Meaning of a Journey

A Poem by Chelsea Roberts

life is a world you have to live by…

it has its own rules you go by…

it gives you joy and struggles…


i see a mountain…

my goal is not to reach the peak…

but to reach the foot of the mountain…


you may ask why the foot and not the peak…

well come dear one sit down…

and i'll tell you the meaning…


A butterfly so delicate to touch…

so graceful that you are in awe…

but what you don't understand is they are like humans…


they can't see how beautiful their wings are…

but everything else can...

we can't see our face but everyone else can…


An owl so wise to see…

so kind to hear…

who it calls…


the who is you…

the who is one you meet…

the who is a friend…


A bee so humble…

so hard working…

and yet still has a whole lot of work to do…


we can sting like a bee…

for standing up what is right…

even though it can be wrong…


there is only one path…

and you can never go back…

all you have to do is to keep going…



that path is the journey life awaits…

but you have to follow by its rules…

and here are the three simple rules…


one...

you must accept what life gives you…

and also what it takes from you…


two…

never think too much…

cause we all don't get the answers to everything…


three…

is to just deal with it…

you create what life gives you, you don't run it…


look at my feet…

they are worn from all the rocks i had to walk on…

but it has dirt that nourished life all the years…


look at my hands…

yes they are small but look closely…

they are torn from climbing…


life can try to put a blockage in your path…

but all you can do is to climb that blockage…

and say is that all…


look in my eyes…

they seen so many things…

things i loss and gained…


full of wonder…

but if you look closer…

you can see a fire burning so bright…


i am determined to see beyond my journey…

i am being created…

creating my life in my own way…


and we all have goals…

but we all want to achieve a broad goal…

that is the peak…

but the main goal is to finish your path…

the path life put you in…

the path that leads to....


nothing for right now cause we haven't made it yet…

but it said to be true…

the foot of the mountain is a new beginning…


we can't stand without a foot…

so the question is…

how are you going to stand at the peak to oversee the view when you didn't care so much about the foot?
