Analysis of Win Yourself Instead
One can win its conscience
With the honesty
And truth only;
As I stay beyond
All kinds of victories
And successes of worldly life
Since I have overcome
Upon my ego, lies, hatred,
Expectations, and desires
After the tiresome and hardest,
Struggled and utmost difficult
A journey of against self-battle
I will never stop you
From opposing, spying
And hurting me
You will learn and win
The way of patience, toleration,
Respect, knowledge
And the essence of truth
That as I try to adopt
It is a real winning.
