Your Own Way

Don’t chase the crowds or follow the lines,
Your path was drawn in bolder signs,
The world may shout what you should be,
But only you hold your own key!

They will point to roads they think are right,
Paved smooth and lit with borrowed light,
But joy is found in winding trails,
In daring dreams and setting sails!

Live loud, live true, don’t dim your flame,
For comfort's cage is not your aim,
Each heartbeat is a call to try,
To climb, to dance and to touch the sky!

Do what you love, say what you feel,
Let passion carve what is raw and real,
For life is too short to wear a mask,
And joy too rare to let it pass!

So, chase the spark that lights your soul,
Let laughter be your loudest goal,
Not just to live, but to feel alive,
That is how the fearless truly thrive!

How true, Aisha.
It's so easy to play "follow the leader", instead of thinking for oneself, especially if doing so makes one appear popular or needed.
