Let me evolve at my own pace,
For, I am still learning.
I still have a road to walk,
Filled with life's viscous plots,
Be prepared for every turn and twist,
And be able to not lose my wits.
I'm still to unlearn a few concepts,
That have been clouded by the
society's judgement.
I yet am to stand on the crossroads
of vice and virtue,
making tough choices even when
I don't want to.
I am yet to forgive and learn to forget,
To show mercy, to others and myself.
I still need to shed my skin,
For change is the only constant.
And I need to build the strength,
find myself everytime I go astray.
So, don't try to rush me,
as you and I aren't the same,
Our paths maybe different,
But it's still the same game.
It's not about who comes first or last,
But it's about respecting your past,
Ditching your burdens,
and taking the lessons,
For, you and I,
Are still learning.
