Old Roadways

When I look at the old roadways of past,
I realize it's not people all along,
it's been me—the central character of my story.

Today I have all this because I earned it;
I know I've created myself,
even if it's like carving a statue from rock,
but I did it.

This life's mine,
nobody owes it.
Why do they matter?
When they played no major role in my story?
Why do their words matter
when they don't even know the dot of my existence?

My true story begins with me,
I owe it all to myself.
I'll give everything to that child within me.

When I look at the old roadways of past,
I know nobody can snatch the shine I have,
even though they'll try their best
to let me down, to take the credit.
