A Cut Above

Look not beyond the very tip of your nose
Look not elsewhere for strength or guide
Look not to others for your own self worth
For you are one who should stand with pride

Look not for a tip of a head for affirmation
Look not outward for what you think to be best
Look not at others as if they are all better
Because, my friend, you’re a cut above the rest
