own way

You are not in a race

Walk your way in your pace,

Can't always make those faces smile,

And that's perfectly fine.

Walk your way in your own way.

When you walk ahead,

Don't forget to hook on 

To those fingers-

That sometimes patted

And at times beckoned-

When you wished for that perfect company.

Mood swings are fine

But do get back there,

Where you can smile again,

And say that stupid joke.

Don't leave behind those who make you feel good.

It's imperative to keep them in,

As you never can reclaim

The lost and unlived moments.

And never assume-

Better ask.

Walk your way-

The way you want,

Let it rain, let it snow,

When it's sunny or it storms.

It's your journey, walk it well-

On your terms, with no fear.
