The sailor who sailed (part II)

Faced with obstacles anew
He would cross this one too
As he was the sailor who sailed through the storm
And here he was on another path

Was the pride in him too strong?
As he was praised for his splendid job
He carried his awards and the scars
To the journey that went afar

On this path of self discovery
Introspection of past was necessary
The scars and bruises of the past
Brought him down but kept him strong

The heavy burden of yesterday
He’d carried it for way too long
The anchor that weighed him down
Had to be pulled up now

He trembled upon an easy path
But that’s not what he was raised for
There was no discernible end
To his solitude and the voyage ahead
