I Wander as I Go

I wander as I go,
In this fathomless fight.
When I get there, I'll know.

I stand, ages ago,
Drowning in my own plight.
I wander as I go.

Looking for any show,
And a marvelous light.
When I get there, I'll know.

I hold all of this woe,
And hope to send it in flight.
I wander as I go.

And I fear I plateau
Upon my mournful blight.
When I get there, I'll know.

So, I keep myself low,
In this dangerous night.
I wander as I go.
When I get there, I'll know.

thank you very much!

I'm usually not a fan of repetition either, but I can appreciate it when used correctly

my poem, I think, is the correct use of repetition, where it adds to the meaning
