Defeated Not

The mind of a man may be defeated by any other
While the integrity held within can withstand the force
Implying that man must hold himself true to self
Admitting his strengths and his weaknesses equally
This is the secret for going forth in the world
Letting not others’ judgment change your direction
Thereby keeping yourself on track moving ahead
