Be the YOU



Be yourself be the wonderful YOU,
Life is a pattern you can sew,
A wonderful painting almighty drew..
You don't need admirers in a queue….

Do yourself the things you can do,
Self reliance is your virtue,
Holding onto others might land you,
In a shell, where you lose your value…

Churn and run for an everyday pun,
There’s never a time when you are done,
Knowledge and learning is like baking a bun,
Time it takes, but you will perfect it like none..

Keep walking ahead as others come along,
Stopping for them will pull you away from your dawn,
The path before you might be tiring and long,
That’s the time of test for you to be headstrong..

Victory is a feeling who doesn't want to have,
Reach that height with an elegant suave,
It is a skyscraper, there’s a chance you can fall,
Stay rooted and adamant , this is your last lap.
