Proven Choices

Everything is game of chess 
One wrong move I’m in mess 
Being confidence was my flaw they said 
But I believe it was my law 
I believe in smart work, they believed in hard work
 I saw strength while they saw weakness 
They kept advising me so I give them a chance to prove themselves right 
But all they did was showed my wrong but they had nothing to prove them right
 Once said to be kind so I tried to be, even after the outburst but then
 I remember my ruthless mind finally I give them Peace of Mind to get out of my life 
As they left, they said I regret my choice 
 Days passed months passed and even year passed but none changed except
 I’m the leader and they my followers 
 The only thing I did different was I believe in myself while none believed in me
