IT'S JUST THE WAY I WALK
Little legs
Turned inward
Walking plain
A bit wayward
...I move
Tripping feet
Knock kneed
Out of order
Can never lead
...forward
Slow pace
Wonky run
Eventually there
But never done
...I appear
Last chosen
Obligation, restraint
Odd man out
Weak, faint
...exhausted
Warriors lost
Strong men gone
Little ole me
The one pressing on
...It's just the way I walk
