I'm going..

Journey of life.

Where am I going?
Walking towards the mirage;
alone, without any entourage.

Where am I going?
sailing in the sea looking for shores
whilst the tempestuous storm roars.

Where am I going?
straying away from the path laid,
tired of all the usual charade.

Where am I going?
crawling in the dark in the grim night
trying desperately hard to put up a fight.

Where am I going?
climbing this uphill mountain
never going to come down again.

Where am I going?
beyond the horizon chasing the sun,
though it is said it can't be done.

Where am I going?
seeking the answers for the riddles
in distant places, far away by miles.

Yes I am going
going to the no man's land,
the path remains unplanned.

I'm going.. I'm going..
I'm gone.

i truly enjoyed this, it reminds me of the questions and answers of my youth and how i dealt with them, usually with poetry...you are on the path to self with this piece and i think it is wonderfully thought provoking. awesome write...in about ten or fifteen years you'll revisit this and change a few lines to suit your present philosophies....or not!

[vspjaguar]

Thanks a lot! I am sure this would trigger memories from the past when I revisit this in the future. I am glad this made you revisit yours too.

And yeah 21-25 is the toughest phase for us men, I heard. I am in the beginning phase, lot more philosophies and poems are yet to come from me :)

[quinfinn]

i look forward to your future endeavors. at 21 you still have much to experience. try to laugh and love deeply and often and carry a good work ethic, and you will never be a lost soul. and yes, thank you for the memories!

[vspjaguar]

Thank you! I will try my best :)

You are going on the right path!! Well penned.

Thanks for the review :)

You projected an intriguing thought perfectly with your words...
However 6th stanza last line does effect the flow. I still enjoyed it very much and you are surely very talented.☺

[vspjaguar]

I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for pointing out the mistake, I will correct it.

So true, we keep wondering where we are headed and before we even realize, the journey is over and we are gone.

Hats off to you for the dismal truth told so sardonically and cleverly. 100/100
