Hurdles in Desert

All I know that I can't stop, can't stop walking..

I don't know why I kept myself in darkness,

Why I was dissipating myself,

for the completion and success,

When I knew everything,

All the reasons to stop,

Sometimes I get the answers,

without any conquest,

without any research,

But sometimes I need to dig deep,

In every particle of me,

In every moment,

That I’m unaware of,

But I'm not tired of discovering,

But I need to know why?

I need to move on,

I need to fight,

and go through this all,

I know that I've no other choice,

 than to face,

every hurdle that comes,

cause I'm walking,

in this huge desert,

of unknown limits,

Can't escape from its dust,

from its cruelty,

though I'm not asking,

neither begging for mercy,

But sometimes,

I just get confuse,

that why I'm even walking,

When I know there's no end,

of this journey,

When I know my grave,

is prepared already,

and there's no one near or far to ask,

that Why?

But I'll not stop,

I'm not feeble,

I want to die with dignity,

I want to keep on walking,

looking for answers,

searching for solutions,

and keep on facing,

these hurdles in desert.

This is great! I think, you know, we all feel this way. I think life is lived this way for a lot of people - certainly for me. You're stuck out in the middle of nowhere... you know exactly where you're going, but you have no idea where you are. And you keep facing these hurdles - these challenges - and you get knocked down a lot, but you have to keep getting back up and, like you said, keep on walking. Of course you're just walking to your grave, but... well, you're going to end up there in the end anyway, so you might as well go down fighting.
This is an amazing poem. You've really got me thinking.
Keep up the hard work!

Your words bring to light such a determination... one of moving on through anything you face... deserts and storms that rise.. and they will. This is an ode to all who wander this world and wonder if they will make it.. .if it's even worth it. Yes, it is.. keep walking and you'll see.
