I transverse the mundane path of man

Every day, living as much as I can

Yet the road seems to twist and tumble

As the world seems to groan and rumble


The more I walk, the more the knot loosens

The more I move, the more the lace weakens

As the inevitable approaches, I stare in terror

My grounds, my base is naught but horror


In all my might and a risk of stability

Pride befallen, an answer sought, in spite difficulty

An attempt to fix, to unbreak what's broken

A plethora of paths ceases, as a choice was chosen


Pulled apart, creased, stretched, and winded

Through twists and turns, discord becomes untwisted

Hurdled was the problem of thousands of men

And finally I can move forward once again
