What do you think this poem is about?

TRAVELER

I walk too deep in
my sleep
Shoes wit' broken soles.
Sweat rest in my palms
And the load felt
Lighter on my shoulders
cause I'm used to the weight.

Its a long trek when the
night walks ahead of you!

    We re all travellers on earth, Its a long trek when the
    night walks ahead of you! ...the Irony is killing and calls for sober reflection
