Based on Robert Frost's 'the road not taken'

I am going to an unknown destination 

I am not sure I will know when I have arrived

I walk with a firm belief 

that this journey is all I have

This journey is all I wanted

This journey is all I will get

I may scream and cry

Or my feet may get tired

But the road won't give up

And I won't leave the road I passionately desired

I don't know how long the walk will last

Nobody in sight to inquire 

But the walk is mine, so is the struggle

And I will create a place of mine before I retire

I look ahead, I look back

Sipping on my ginger tea

The quiet of now, the chaos I crossed

And the anticipation ahead sets me free

I learn I tumble I fall I create

And no joy surpasses that

I am walking but the pace gets slower

I urge to make this last

I don't know if this is where I stop

If I was the first one to arrive

But a truck full of happy, young kids just passed

Nodding at me

And the flame continues to thrive

Attended Rupikaur's poetry workshop recently. It was refreshing and helpful. I never take pride in my poetry writing skills but I enjoyed it so much that I am sharing one of the poems here. She asked questions and prompted words (highlighted in Bold) that we can include in our poems. She also gave a background theme and a few words to begin the poem. So, it is particularly useful for writers who are feeling stuck or just want a break to explore their thoughts and shake up their imagination a bit.

Also, I wanted to start doing sketches to accompany some of my writings. Again, I never take pride in my sketching skills, but this may have been just the push that I needed.
