It's okay to travel at your pace ,
Remember that life is not a race.
Others might get ahead, beyond imagination of your mind,
But this does not mean that your are left behind.
Your journey might be different , though destination might be the same,
You and your friend are at different levels of the game.
Just because he reached earlier , does not mean you failed ,
Just because he won , does not mean you did not play well.
You gave your best and did what you could do,
You performed well , even when you had no clue..
To yourself you were true ,
And distractions away you just threw!
So, chin up , dear, and smile looking at the mirror.
Look at yourself and your amazing bright colour.
Don't waste your precious life comparing yourself with others ,
Don't waste your precious time pleasing people who don't even bother!
Instead find , love and be the real you,
Don't worry. Let others think , say and do what they want to.
You have this one life , don't limit it to a race,
By comparing don't make of it a mess!
You are not behind, not ahead, not at any dis-ease,
You are just where at that moment you need to be, and that is Peace!
