Analysis of dannys thought of long ago

A JOURNEY OF LIFE

Often have I thought and wondered, what the cost,
of the journey, the road, the path which I took?
That at its beginning, from whence I did start, I was totally lost,
learning without knowing, with each stage I did construct.

There were pitfalls and concerns as I traveled I did find,
That those expectations from childhood to an adult were now mine to amount,
 And as I did proceed, it was as though’ I was blind.
A life’s progress of my own stock, to which I did account.

I followed like those before me trying to achieve,  
And as I trod on that road, from babe to youth I found,
I was building as I went along, each day growing with faith and belief,
Developing a character, though not understanding where I was bound.

I was on that destination, which some would call, (the highway of life),
As I was traveling alone, I encountered and met with hurtful situations,
That was more than seemed to be, which caused me, well more than just strife,
I found the pain and suffering, I believed, that had caused all my indignation.

That would send me spiraling down into a deep sense of worry and unease,
And with it, I lacked the confidence to express my views.
I was pensive in my out would nature, lacking feelings for wanting to please,
So the then position that I had created, meant I would always lose.  

I had failed to comprehend a situation, that maybe there was hope,
To help me in this circumstance, that had seemed beyond repair.
And yet it seemed the character I had developed, would save me from such reproach,
It would bring me to salvation, from all the gloom and desolate despair,

So now at my door, became feelings that in time brought me satisfaction.
Giving me pleasure, in the awkward situation I found nestling within my soul.
My being brought me a deep understanding, of this timely transformation,
Which took me to a place on high, where now I could aim for that winning goal.

For within my very nature, there was control, strength with power in mind,
And as I toiled and laboured, I eventually did succeed, and I did find.
That I could survive, for along with my newfound courage, spirit, and pride,
I showed my emotions without fear all laid bare, for there was now naught to hide.
