I have nothing to prove to anyone
I am neither proud nor ashamed
I will run at my pace
I’m not in a race
The road is mine to climb
I don’t need to win over anyone
I’m not fighting for the prize
I just have to claim what I had lost
to the other side
To get back what I had lost through time
To win back what is rightfully mine
