What Makes Me Me :)

Sometimes I have wondered how different life would be

Had it been for a turn of fate or a twist in destiny

Or maybe it was bigger than just plans that had been laid

Maybe it had to do with every decision that I made

Had I not stumbled on each obstacle, I might be way ahead

But instead of only rushing, I learnt something instead

Had I always climbed each stepping stone that I had ever found

I may have reached the top by now but missed what’s all around

Had I opened every single door, that opportunity knocked

Maybe I would have found that it was best if they’d stayed locked

Had I always crossed the bridges, I don’t know where I’d have been

But the world that lay beneath them, would have been left unseen

Had I always run ahead, in the hope of what I’d find

I may have always wondered what I had left behind

I’m glad things went the way they did, ‘coz even in the race

The most important thing is that, I did it at my pace

It surprises me to wonder now how different life could be

For with just a little difference, I may not have been me!
