Lift Yourself by Yourself

Bound in chains, held up tight The world held its reins, denied me light. Each passing second carved me thin Until I had nothing more within

It broke through me, shattered my fame It got me down, seized my flame No light, not a ray Just an evil bark engulfed in dismay

But when it all vanished aghast Rose a faith to flabbergast And when the end remained face-to-face The flame it lit, burnt ablaze.

No force remained to keep me bound No weight remained to drag me around The world that ruled, now understands Its my time and its I who commands…

When the winds chase you to the edge, When your fears break your pledge, That’s when you’ve got to make the choice, Listen to your heart and ignore that empty noise.

Jump and rise! To see you zenith, you’ve got to experience your demise, Because when you choose the difficult path, You discover success’ addictive wrath.

Stumbling you shall fall, But lift yourself and stand tall, Because the toughest story, Contains the most magnificent glory.

Caring, sharing and supporting your friends; That is fine, but it might come to an end. When you are low and blue, Your heart feels broken into two, Friends may or may not be there to fix you.

Maybe once, maybe twice, You will have people by your side. But to prepare for the last time, Learn to be alone.

Push your self, motivate yourself, Because if not someone else, You will always have yourself.

We all live in a world so full, All negativities gathered up. We might go down on the way, But to stay on track, we must get up.

You might have goals to fulfill, You can get some help too. But it will last only, If you change yourself into someone new.

It is not that no one is there, They are the sticks that support us, But the actual strength comes from within, For which lifting yourself is a must.

There are people to push you low, But it is you who decides to go up or down. People may kick you or prick you, But it's you who has to move on.

With little sparkling eyes, I see the world outside, Trying my best to chase others' praise. But why am I trying to prove it when I know myself.

It is me who lifts or pulls myself down, It is up to me to build a life for myself.

There are friends, But where are they when I cry? At the end of the day, It is up to me to decide, How I want to live my life.

When you feel low, Don’t hide in others' shadows. Instead come out and, Lift yourself by yourself.

Follow no one else, But your inner self. Don’t fear anything, Just prove yourself.

Wake up to reality, Before it's too late. There will be no one to guide you, But yourself.

Lift yourself by yourself, A value so great, Helps in reaching the goal of oneself.

Hardships may block the way, From the path of righteousness we must not stray, As it is the only way.

To taste success in life today, Lifting yourself o is the only way, So lift yourself by yourself today.
