To Be



"To Be"

We are all leaders in someway whether we consider it or not
Before we become somebody, we are nobody
Struggles, frustrations, and failures are just part of the journey
When things  happen unfortunately
There is always a purpose that come in our way
We should have the courage, determination, and reason
To keep moving on
Having great courage to travel the road less travelled
If it is the only way to get the gold
A lot of reasons why there are things we may, to do make new steps each day
Don't get stuck by, decisions that are meant to obstruct
Uncertain things may come in, but we should make our dreams happen
A cup of tea, Yeah its hot
We must stand like a cup
Being filled with a hot tea
A cup stand still to resist the heat
Hence, the cup are built for it
We must build ourselves
Make us fit to accept failures being filled by life
By accepting them just like sipping the tea all the way down
As sipping it goes by
It becomes less hotter
So dealing with it gets easier
Humans are great creatures made by God
Head to toe we are unique
We're fit enough to achieve the goal we have to meet
Reaching dreams is the start of the winning process
Just like chasing the King in a chess
As we're getting near to achieve the gold
Be ready to say "check mate"
Since it will always be a pleasure to hear the word "You made it!"
In the words of Sergeant Gump "Life  is like a box of chocolates
We never know what we gonna get"
Thus it is always best to just have faith and go for it.

At this point in my life many things are uncertain except about what I earnestly dream to become. I failed many times but still making new steps each day to achieve my goals. more…
