My Way

This obstacle is not in my way

Instead it is part of my way

Part of my path, part of my life

It's a lesson to learn, not my strife

It's a weight to lift, so I am stronger

It's not a place I can stay any longer

I'm leaving now, away from the dark

I've tied up the ends; now to the start

The start to a life full of peace

I'm too strong now for my path to cease

I've quite a ways to go and more monsters to defeat

The going is fast; the going is slow

But happiness I do meet

In between the hardships and the pain

I know that I can smile again

For on my path are not just tests

But the opportunity to be my best

And beside me walks my spirit guide

Ensuring me there's no need to hide

She whispers in my ear, so sweet,

"True peace and happiness, you will meet."
