The Story of the Protagonist

It's my path,
I choose,
I rise,
I fall,
I stumble,
Rise,
Stand tall.

It's my path,
I choose,
Victory-happiness-success,
Roadblocks, dead-ends - I loose.

It's my path,
I choose,
The wins are mine,
The losses too,
It's my story,
The protagonist - me,
The experience to just be.

I'd walk your path,
The tried and tested one,
I'd not be me,
I'd live life the way it should be,
But then I'd be for life and not it for me...
