For Yourself

Tear at the veil,
If you wish to see,
For it is a shocking reveal,
Of what one can truly be.

If glory and valor,
Are all you wish for,
Judge by ones own measure,
Not by another's. 

It may seem impossible, 
To achieve ones dreams,
But it is not mere gospel,
To stitch realities seams.

So for no one but thy self, 
Do I jot these lines,
For I gain no materiel wealth,
Only my minds shrines.
