Epic Poem: Towards Utopia

This is an Epic poem I wrote during my English class a few months ago. I hope you enjoy and feel free to comment down below with feedback. Maybe you can guess what I'm trying to convey through it?

Towards Utopia

by: Chioma

When I set out to Utopia

The dawn of life, without a care

I am the wild snake, bear, and crocodile

That are always gently and friendly

My years restrict my ability

But I refuse to let the road be blocked

Expressing my adolescent conception with words

For my mother to inscribe them down

My problems diminutive

But immense in my eyes

For a scrape on the knee

I have died

Next I witness the gardens bloom

My path is heading in the opposite direction

The intention is no longer to enjoy the ride

But the desire is to grasp the steering wheel

Many hands attempt to mold me

And they succeed in multiple ways

But they could never conquer my feelings

For they all fall way too beyond reach

The mountain I wish to escalate

Grows steeper by the day

Along with it the weight of the world

That slowly overcomes me

I have now exited oblivion

The veil is being lifted

Gentle snake, bear, and crocodile

Are now the nightmares that torment my dreams

A crab has grown too big for its shell

The time has come to search for a new

But soon I find

My search has become

Never Ending

Unpredictable

Discouraging

Elusive

I build up walls

That are destroyed by my own defect

But my roots show me how to endure

To advance with every step backwards

I will not always be the dog chasing its tail in circles

Whilst never achieving its ultimate ambition

I long to see the horizon

My eyes are wide open

Nothing disrupts my vision here

The world I saw yesterday

Is in no way similar to what I witness

I am fairly certain of my purpose

Days have become more fluent

I am moving onward

Allowing myself to float up ahead

Past the boundaries that caged me for eternity

Images flash before me

Hours equivalent to seconds

Weeks equivalent to days

I can put to use the knowledge

That I thrived to gain

Waves bring in tides

And even tsunamis

But every aspect I was taught

Provides me the wisdom as Goliath

To kill the biggest of giants

I have reached great heights

Limited now

Days reluctant to come

But I still welcome them on

Ever so slowly

For I am humble for my opportunities

And satisfied with my journey

Even as I spot the horizon I have longed to see

I secretly wish the finale was not so near

The drive continues on

Step by step closer

My years had always been spent in preparation

For the occasion to arrive

Even If I have never noticed

The truth is all I ever wanted

Was proof that I was worthy

To behold the light as it shines on not only me

But the others that surround

Currently I wait patiently

For my demise to descend

And I will not despair

But ready myself

Because I know within my soul

From all I have been through

I will land in Utopia at last
