"An Attempt..."-a tribute to oneself.

World is fake, world is full of brutality;
It’s not really the world; it’s our soul lacking optimism in totality.

Everyone is selfish, self centered and mean;
It’s not the mob; it’s our inner self we need to clean.

Talking about serenity, vitality and the world unknown;
Being jealous about what others reap, not considering what we had sown.

Trophies filling the closet, achievements on the shelves;
Forgetting that we are still attending workshops to know ourselves.

We have humanity in us, somewhere down the line;
We may make our faces glow, but we'll never be able to shine.

Lost chastity, we are stuck in materialistic praise;
We were born to know ourselves, be humans not to get lost in an unworthy chase.

Don't cry over when the world mocks at you;
Its delusional, they can't be true.

Satisfaction and peace of mind is what matters in the end;
You can fall in love with yourself all it takes is an effortless bend.

Hug yourself, give yourself a chance;
Trust yourself, look in the mirror, give yourself a glance.

It’s not about buying respect; you have to earn it;
It’s not about money; it’s about the character you build, bit by bit.

You can make it; you have the power in your arms;
See yourself, you are radiating with beauty and charm.

We are losing grip, slipping so hard;
WE are WE; we can't be described in a piece of card.

Strive hard, work till the very edge;
Don't make promises anymore, Take the PLEDGE...
