Journey To The Finish

Lost.
Confused.
Stranded halfway,
It’s a journey I say.
With no turning back,
Onwards I trek.
With no destination
And much hesitation.
Is it worth it?
Or should I forfeit?
It’s a race to the finish!
But I don’t know,
Where to start.

The author's comments:
I wrote this about high-school. Many times we may feel as if we’re lost; especially in our first year. Though our second year may seem easier and we may begin to feel comfortable within the high-school environment, the third year just throws that whole feeling out of proportion. Then Everyone begins worrying about grade 12, and it feels as though you have no idea what you have to do in order to distinguish yourself; Many begin thinking about college/ university and try to glimpse into that life; many times it makes us want to quit. In the end; even though you know what your main goal is, you have no idea where to start.
