My way....

The road to obstacles is a treacherous track,

A journey fraught with challenges that threaten to attack.

It twists and winds through mountains and plains,

Leading us towards struggles and pains.

We step onto this path with heavy hearts,

Uncertainty and fears tearing us apart.

What lies beyond each bend, we cannot know,

But we're determined to keep on the go.

The first obstacle looms in the distance,

A towering wall of resistance.

It stands tall and proud, a monument of might,

Challenging us to scale its dizzying height.

We approach it with trepidation,

Our hearts beating with anticipation.

Will we fall or will we rise?

Will we reach the summit and claim the prize?

The wall seems impossible to climb,

Its height and breadth seemingly divine.

But we're warriors on this road of strife,

And we'll take on this challenge with all our life.

We dig our fingers deep into the crevices,

Muscles aching, we take deep breaths and take our chances.

We slip and stumble, but we never give in,

For the road to obstacles is a battle we're destined to win.

Finally, we reach the summit,

And we pause to take a moment and plummet.

The view from the top is breathtaking,

And we realize the struggle was worth taking.

But the road to obstacles is never-ending,

And we must keep on walking, keep transcending.

The next challenge awaits us soon,

And we must face it or be consumed.

We walk and walk, through storm and rain,

The road to obstacles is wrought with pain.

But every challenge we conquer, we grow,

And our spirit and willpower continue to glow.

And though we may stumble and fall,

Our resolve and courage never stall.

For the road to obstacles is not just a path,

It's a test of our mettle, a journey of wrath.

As we walk and conquer and rise,

We see that the road to obstacles is not just lies.

It's a path that shapes and molds us,

A path that readies us for life's big fuss.

For life is full of obstacles and trials,

And the road to obstacles is just the first mile.

But if we can conquer it with strength and grace,

We can conquer anything in life's rat race.

walking with pride

So let us walk this road with pride,

With our heads held high and our hearts inside.

For the road to obstacles is our destiny,

And we'll conquer it to set our spirits free.
