Shyane Roa Poet Other

Make Your Own Way

Make your Own Way

Can you stand alone and be strong?
Can you make your choices all along?
I know you're full-grown and wise,
To make decisions that are nice."

But it seems like you’re not happy 
Seeing someone’s victory
When others achieve and find success
You feel left behind and under duress

Imagine a horse racing in a game
It needs speed just to win
See how tired this kind of competition
If you depend on others situation.

Living in this world is not a race
And each one has their own unique pace
Comparing yourself will only bring pain
And hinder your progress, in vain

Don't envy others' achievements,
Because God gave us diverse talents.
Don't covet what other people have
Instead, salute them with all your heart.

A successful person doesn’t envy
But fashion his best effort and way
Let them be your inspiration
As you strive to fulfill your ambition

Faraz Ajmal September 24, 2017 at 12:08 PM I really like the message you are trying to convey through this poem, but jealousy is in human nature, you can t get rid of jt, whenever someone is better than you, you ll always be jealous, and now a days life is a competition, if you didn t run fast, you ll be crushed, although our main purpose of life is to do good deeds and make God pleased but apparently no one remembers it now, for them worldly wealth and success is everything, I just hope that every person should remember their purpose
