Description
The path of lifePresents you with
Many joyous years,
But is also
Consumed with hardships
They are the weeds
That crowd
Your path,
Grabbing your ankles
To trip your feet;
The thick and twisted
Roots that cover
A clear dirt road;
The thorns that
Break the skin
Releasing droplets
Of scarlet life
Rise up against
These trials
So impossible to
Triumph over
Broaden your shoulders,
And plunge through the
Darkness before you
Overcome your fear
In the sneering
Face of pain
With courage,
Firmness of spirit,
And steadiness of will

I like how you balanced physical imagery (getting pricked by thorns, walking a road, darkness blinding you) with the will & strength of spirit and character.
