A Walk in My Own Shoes
Each step I take, my steady stride,
Through ups and downs, I stand with pride.
No need to rush, no need to race,
I walk with peace, I find my place.
I’ve learned to love the way I grow,
And trust the strength I’ve come to know.
The paths I’ve walked, they carved my way,
Through stormy nights and brighter days.
Though miles ahead may still be tough,
I’ve learned that I am strong enough.
With every scar and every bruise,
I stand firm in my own two shoes.

No need for approval or keys.

Charting the course as I please.
The storms, they may roar and may shake,
But I know the strength I can make.
