Morning Promises
Every morning, every day I wake up with regret And promise myself That I'd do better today But alas, How I fall in the same trap Of inactiveness and procrastination. Every day I feel That I need to do better I MUST do better But by the time The travelling lamp goes down I fall into the clutches Of devil`s vantage. It took me 35 years to understand, That I have no one else to blame For whatever I regret and missed in life Every opportunity Every skill Everything that I did not get I cannot blame anyone else But me. I'm responsible For my idleness For my procrastination For my attitude For my habits For my dry sorrow No one can hurt me Unless I let them No one can make me sad Unless I let that happen Nothing can make me lazy But myself My self hating attitude My lacking valor habits Are my own doing And those, my friends are my own responsibility. So, today I'm breaking up with myself, Taking back the reins of my life Into my own hands. After 35 round trips around the sun, Now I understand That the only thing I need to conquer In this ever changing, Shape shifting world Is me!
After 35 round trips around the sun,
Now I understand
That the only thing
I need to conquer
In this ever changing,
Shape shifting world
Is me!
Wow! it's beautiful and so deep...this is I think, is the last step towards salvation, conquering self...
Also, only those close to heart, only can hurt us deep...
But, at last, i only feel that one should not have any regrets in life...neither about his/her choices nor about any losses
congrats sir!
