Where am I heading?

It has been a long day
Let me rest awhile
To prepare for another day
And face it with a smile.

Years pass by in a blur
Where did they go, I wonder.
In the pursuit of living,
Just didn't notice life leaving.

People and places
Known,unknown faces

Betrayal, friendship
Happiness, hardship
Agony, epiphany
Twists and turns so many!

I will carry on
In the quest for the elusive
Blurring the lines
Between real and delusive

Till one day
When it will all end.
I will carry on,
Carry on to that end.
--------------------
Before it gets lost, preserving for posterity, a reply in verse from a friend-thanks a ton, AC!

life may've gone unnoticed
but now is your chance
read through all those skipped pages
and re-write your plans

at times you may regret
what all you've lost
but believe me when i say
some things are better in the past

sometimes you may be astonished
what all you've achieved
how little you've asked for
and how much you've received

pick all the gems
your friends and relation
for you must go on
and they'll be your motivation

don’t hold it tight
let it pass as sand
embrace the life waiting
smiling on the other end
