A Road Without End Poem by Tex T Sarnie

I began my journey on this long and winding road,
the road that every person has to make.
I didn't know at the beginning or even now
where it would take me, or how long it would take.

Continually I walk this informative road of knowledge,
learning and gaining experience as I go.
Trying to see through the deceptions of people,
which they unashamedly like to show.

I don't want to spend my time distrusting everyone.
So, I tend to believe what they say until proven wrong.
I have learned that it's best to be defensive with my trust
because even the ones you love can string you along.

A teller of untruths requires an exceptional memory,
but occasionally they do make a telling mistake.
However, they will lie further to justify their error,
making it difficult to know what is the truth, or fake.

I've gained my fair share of knowledge
journeying along this road of surprises.
Continually going forward without looking back,
knowing there is no end to what it can give us.
