Poem: I am a young traveler

I am a young traveler,
seeking for the true meaning of life
I seek for what I don't see,
I find adventure in the distance,
I see before me,
during my travels,
a young man,
sitting and talking to himself,
repeating the words:
"I traveled a far distance,
and have found nothing but pain,
I have seeked for what I could not find
and lost more than what I bargained for."
I did not stop,
but pressed on,
I could not stop to give him a drink,
seeing as he was delusional,
talking to himself,
with a rock beside him,
carved by the man I believed.
with writing that said:
"I have traveled for as much as I could,
and I am now tired,
lost,
and depressed,
I need nourishment and a doctor"
Yet I could not stop,
as I was halfway on the other side,
seeing beautiful sights before me,
thinking of the man,
that was there,
talking to trees,
hoping they would talk back,
no answer, I believe.
As I saw,
through the harsh woods,
a crew of doctors,
I talked to them,
told them where the young am was,
we rushed,
only to find,
a note,
that was written,
with a stick,
It read:
"You have traveled as much as you could,
you were lost,
and found someone to help you,
you traveled for a distance,
and found a spirit,
talking to himself,
hoping he could help.
However, he was only,
in your mind."
I looked at the rock next to it,
and saw just dust,
What was I dreaming?
I was a traveler,
taking many paths,
and found,
only a distant memory.
