The Best of You

It’s okay if you have no future plan,
and your agenda is filled with nothing but rants.
Because everyone has their own pace,
and not all of them are yet ready to race.
Why do you try to mimic other’s fame,
when you can create your own unique name?
Why do you want the title,
when you don’t even try to fight the battle?
Okay, I understand.
You want to leave a trail behind.
You want to be like Mother Teresa;
make a difference without asking for vice versa.
You want to be like John Maynard Keynes;
help the world and save it from its end.
But … you have to realise.
There’s no point of being like others
if you can’t even show your true colors.
And you have to recognise,
that you’re an undiscovered gold;
a story waiting to be told.
You may not be the best economist
nor the best artist.
But really, all you have to do
become the best of you.
