Every time I wake up, I try to, with new hope
Sometimes we don’t know how long our body can cope
You want to view life through other’s lens and scope
For a while, it looks so perfect and you feel dope
But it’s not real, because everyone struggles, so it’s not perfect, nope
You have to live life for yourself
I am not against you picking up the lessons here and there
But life’s struggles and burdens are yours alone to bear
If properly managed you can survive it and not feel the tear
Don’t be deceived when you see people looking perfect under the wears
You don’t know the long hours over the night they have shed tears
Never try to compare your life with others
Every man with his worries and burdens to bear
If not why did they say the rich also cry
Then why do you think you won’t get rich?
Their preparation meets opportunity
Step up and be ready, all you need to do is to try
In the land of extra miles there is no traffic
Quit the blame game
It is becoming lame
When your trouble came
You wallow in pity rather than tame
Trouble also comes with fame
If you want I can give you a name
Oh, you want names? It’s all the same
You want out? That’s so lame
Why? Generations after will surely have you to blame
Stop viewing your life through other people’s lens. It is not easy when they have everything that you seek, but you need to know they didn’t get there without some efforts. They had so many struggles which they also overcame. You wouldn’t know because you only saw their success and not their efforts.
With a little more push from you too, you will break even but you need to view failure differently and stop beating yourself up too much. It is okay to struggle, but it is not okay to resign to fate and not fight.
You can live with losing the good fight, but you can not live with not fighting it.
Thank you for your time.

Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
