Determination

 

I did

I do
and I shall
pave my way
myself.
with bricks of experiences
concrete of criticism
and cement of nagging
mixed with carping
coming to me.
I shall mix up
the sap of praise
given to me.
thus will make
my own way.
I have been paving
 I do pave and
I shall pave
my own way.
until falls
the aim of life
i will pave
and i will pave.

Advice

Be not truthful to this world

but only to yourself.
delude yourself no more
deceive yourself no more.
for only to this world belong
dream not of heavenly joys
express your wounds not
express your woes no more.
for even a altruist man
 is embodiment of sheer selfishness.

i refuse to share with this world.
pretty pretty woes of mine.
i have been fighting all alone
i will suffer and may i pine.
the arena of life is beset with ironies
bushes,briars and acute spines.
I refuse to lie, I refuse to feign
I refuse to wane my natural shine.
