If there existed a road

If there existed a road

Paved by your decisions made

And with every step you take

The path you leave behind will fade

All your time through the wild forest, unbearable desert, marshy land

All that pain and stress

you've felt in the sand

All those moments you've wondered

Why no one would understand

How hard you've worked, how much you've tried

In paving your road, in easing your ride

Because this life you know, is but a drive

Through that road you've paved

Through your efforts to survive

Through everything coming your way

When you managed to be alive

And yet they overlook it

how your story unfolds

for them, they just notice

What awaits you at the end of those roads

Focusing on the mere outcome they declare

"It's all a matter of luck! Or you didn't play fair!"

But that's okay, that's expected

For you know, this silly road

It vanishes as you move ahead

Before your story can unfold

So your life as it is

You need not explain anyone

It's a drive only you have lived

And their ride is the only path 

they had and have ever believed
