My Road to Ithaca


shoes are worn out
will last they said
backpack straps are digging into my shoulder
Rubbing it raw till the skin starts to peel
sun is bright, bright and intense, hurting my eye
hot sand picked up by the wind is hurling into my face
pricking it, bruising it
lips chaffed, dry, bright crimson drops starts to show through the cracks
Finishing of the last few drops of water
To quench the thirst, to ease the pain in my parched throat
still have miles to go
Before I reach my Ithaca
when I land on her shores, bruised I might be
But would have learnt all that there is 
experienced life as it is meant to be.....
