On This Path Poem by Alade Abayomi Idris

On This Path



I have cried
Tears of agony cascaded
From my torn soles, blood gushed
Several seasons I limped
All on this path
The path I was told leads to greatness.

On many nights
Hungry and thirsty gone I
Slept in lairs
Battered by the wilds
With rags on my back
I survived storms
All on this path
The path I was told leads to greatness.

Many a year, on this path, I have been
Renewing hopes as sun rises
Getting disappointed as night falls
But been told, this path, leads to greatness
I persisted hoping the greatness on the path I would see.
