Journey

Journeys

Defined as an act of traveling from one place to another

In reality, it so much deeper than that

They can take days, months, years

Even lifetimes

Weird for such a complex word

To be explained in such simple words

How can we define a word

When we ourselves our defined by our 

Journeys

They can be taken with others

Walking side by side 

Sometimes carrying ones who hurt

And other time you yourself

Will be carried

Happiness and joy 

When with others

Sadness and pain 

When the footsteps walk the other way

Or even worse 

Existing only in our hearts and souls

There are millions of reasons why we go on journeys

Choices we make ourselves

To make us stronger 

A better person

Happy and sad circumstances 

Forcing fates hand

Giving us millions of moments

Other times 

Robbing us of memories 

We will never experience

Everyone's journey is different

There is a different God's plan for everybody 

We are consonantly weaving in and out of other's stories

Hopefully for the good and to inspire

Sometimes sadly to hurt and cause pain 

World constantly judges all

Not realizing the demons we face 

Day in and day out

Personal battles we have fought inside 

Some won 

Some lost

Obstacles we have overcome 

Or failures so bad 

We quit

Step by step 

Tear by tear, smile by smile

We must go on in our journey 

Seeking the true definition of journey 

Change within ourselves

Without that change

You are just traveling one place to another
