#26 The paths you've taken

The paths you've taken are yours and yours alone

These paths define your current personality and tone

And lead you to where you are right now

Now while you can never take the same path twice

To revisit where you once trod is my advice

Find a way to do it somehow

For a man who's forgotten from where he came

Does so only to his utmost shame

For he's lost touch with his past

So I'd encourage you all to do this

Go back, stop, and reminisce

Find the mould from which you're no cast

But don't stay for too long in that place

Keep on moving in this human race

Staying back too long should be barred

For you have to move on from your history

To places unknown, towards utter mystery

Even though sometimes, trust me, it's hard.
