In the journey of life,
there is a route we all will tread upon,
before we become once upon a time.
The route that defines a life.
Some people call this route,
the valley of the shadow of death,
'cos of its gloomy atmosphere that roars.
The challenges, obstacles and pains that
do their businesses on this route,
have cut short many a life.
Some people call it, the process,
'cos of the way it stretches every bit of one,
and how it forces everything within to groan,
for frustration and defect, or relentlessness.
This route has created humbling stories,
for all the glories that have made a mark,
it has made other stories gloryless.
When you find yourself on this route,
you will need to give it your all and be relentless,
if you must join the list of those who have made a mark.
