ROCKY ROAD
Walking… striding… moving…
I’m alone…
Aiming endlessly, wondering if what I feel is right
I’m in the dark…
Walking curiously with every step
I’m alone…
Moving carefully at each pace
I’m in the dark…
Trudging weary through unknown trail
I walk blindly in a rough road
No one to guide me
No one to help me
No one to walk beside me
Still wondering…
What does this road lead to?
Where does this road lead to?
I tried to remember how I ended up here
Memories filled me in tears
We used to walk side by side
With you, the person I love
We walked hand in hand
Something I believed would stay for a lifetime
Polished path… calm street… bright future…
Unruffled… undisturbed…
Happy faces… lovely smiles…
We were happy…
I trusted, I believed, I loved
We could walk, run, hop, jump… cartwheel if we could
The streets was ours to enjoy
We were happy the way it is
I wanted to stay like that forever
Life was easier that way
But things changed unexpectedly
We turned on the wrong corner
I wanted to grab your hand
But your hand was no longer within my reach
I looked to the horizon
It would be a long hard bumpy road
I wanted you to walk with me
Instead, you gave me a blindfold
You expect me to walk straight without you by my side
Blinded by expectations…
Clueless of everything…
Darkness surrounds me
Every step I make
Makes every burden heavier
I continued striving… walking…
Heavy heart… confused mind…
Every step, tumble, sweat, tear, blood, wound, fall and pain
This is where I am now, I kept on going
I’ve been walking for hours
Nothing has changed… same craggy avenue…
Days, weeks, months have passed
Will it end? When will that be?
Will there be a better place for me than this rocky road?
Every second of every minute of every hour of every day
Makes me wonder…
Will this road end?
When will that be?
What awaits me in the other end?
Is it a better life?
A better love?
Is it him? Is it you?
Or is it more pain?
Emptiness… loneliness… grief…
Only the road knows
How will things end?
It’s still a mystery
Walking endlessly on this rocky road.

Something to ponder on. I know it's a little cheeky, but I've always wanted to try to make a poetry because most of my writings are essays.
For me, the smooth and rocky roads are representations of challenges and problems you encounter in your life. The blindfold and darkness are the mysteries, clueless, stressful, and/or unknown situations that happen in our life that makes the challenges even harder.
Hope you like it. Please leave a comment. And yes, sad to say, it was not about the chocolate.
