ON ONE'S OWN

When one is at the centre alone , 

When the dears are all windblown ,

It's time to take a stand , 

One needs to be on one's own .

Now is the ultimate freedom , not a fear ,

Zero distractions and front sight clear , 

Few true mates beside , excluding all peer , 

It's known that unknown is going to appear .

Let the zones of comfort be all out-thrown ,

When it's time to confront the unknown ,

One needs to take the call , 

One needs to be on one's own .

Nothing about ego , it's all leadership ,

Being the captain of one's life , one's own ship ,

In the deep down water , one just can't be drown ,

To swim back to top , one needs to be on one's own .

We all will die as we've all taken birth , 

And only the brave shall inherit the earth ,

One will grow wings , if one strives to be flown ,

But to jump off the cliff , one needs to be on one's own .
