To the world that says don't give up,
My heart simply can't live up.
Yes, i am hurt deep down in the weakest corner,
My mind is in a shame of losing it's honour.
One word, one comment shakes the foundation built upon the hard work of many thriving years.
One slap from the hand you hold, that leaves a hard resonance on your ears.
One kick in the right direction scores a goal,
But one small flame even burns the jungle into a coal.
How will build a home without putting the bricks up,
How can you feel better without lifting yourself up.
You had an ocean to give but now you too suffer with thirst,
The respect you gave earned you a harsh curse.
Why did you open the door to the closed room?
Why did you dust the sparkle with the broom?
Who told you the world is a place for two!
Just like the other fellows it is a home only for you!
Do you know what is the cost of the spirit you posses?
Don't share it and go into a recess.
You're strong not because you fought,
You fought just because you didn't want to rot.
You can't build a fighter simply by handing a sword.
You shouldn't travel just because you found a road.
Take a step that satisfies you more than anyone,
Be sufficient enough to be asked by everyone.
You've not done wrong to others, that makes you the right one.
Opportunities can be many but life is only one.
Give life a chance and let others go,
The ones worth keeping, you will know.
You made a mistake, forgive yourself for once.
Let go the fire, drop the guns.
Don't cry for no one will come to wipe those tears,
If someone does, you'll weep all your fears.
Don't be afraid, life is tough.
Take rest when you start to huff.
But don't sit forever waiting for a helping hand,
Even with broken knees you've gotta take your stand.
So what if a decision turned out to be a terrible disaster,
You'll keep growing because you learn faster.
I am strong, I will survive.
Even in the deadliest moments I'll come alive.
Because I know I am destined for great achievements,
I'll reach great heights and live a lot of moments.
