All That Matters

Remember your roots,

To the soil, you’re born.

You’re indebted to a lot of people;

Do count them in your prayers.

Blessings are all that matters.

Never forget your upbringing,

The days of struggles.

Nothing comes swiftly,

You’ve to fight for yours.

Perseverance is all that matters.

Stop doubting your credibility,

When failure left you shattered.

Make sure to be grounded,

When success gives you goosebumps.

Humility is all that matters.

Don’t make it a hard & fast rule,

To stay always focused.

Sometimes getting detached from the mainstream;

Help detox your overexposures.

Serenity is all that matters.

Try to ease up on your passion,

Don’t stress so often.

Trust your pace;

Because at the end of the day,

Your happiness is all that matters.
