[Shape Poetry]~ Stairs of our Life!

My cousin sent me this poem that I had written a couple of years for his short film. He wanted to convey that each person is different and has a different design in the walks of life. He was going to portray it with an analogy of different kinds of people climbing the stairs at their own speed- An old person, an athlete, a kid, physically challenged person etc. He just gave me an idea of the visuals and wanted a poem that can come as a voice-over in the background. And thus, this poem happened ðŸ˜› I tried making it a shape poetry to denote the same plus I have never tried shape poetry *cough cough*
Note: Read the poem with the thought that it was written 2 years back and based on what the script demanded ðŸ˜› *I hear the illana mattum chorus remark but I choose to ignore it*
