and I will learn to tread forward
the twisting, winding, twining godforsaken roads
the endless forked paths.
through muddy thickets,
lush undergrowth,
and soggy marshes
I wander,
and I will learn to tread forward.
the dismal, interminable, harrowing roads
the treacherous pathways
that lead straight to death.
through unforgiving fog,
cheerless sunless mountains,
and on the footprint of war
I plod,
and I will learn to tread forward.
unearthly, obscure, eerie roads
the traumatic passageways
that bring memories of the walkways before.
through the eye's rainstorms,
shrill heinous screams,
and across the self-fought battlefields,
I limp,
and I will learn to tread forward.
I will always learn to tread forward.

I'm trying to tread forward.
