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
