You got this



Hmm..
What am I here for?
What am I living for?
Should have been long gone
Failed are all I have done

With less effort are other’s accomplishment
With less struggle, their achievement
Here am I, with every ounce of strength
With every pounds of might

Yet little or no yield
Barren are my fields
Am drained of energy
Out of ideologies

Am seeking escape route
And finding hidden truth
Where am I going wrong ?
Why is it taking so long?

Where am I lacking?
What direction am I not following?
Which loophole have I not filled?
And crooked ends not strengthened?

Where in this vast earth haven’t I gone to?
And peoples not turned to?
Yet all seems futile
And all solutions sterile

These are questions we ask ourselves
These are scenes played out in our lives
Everyday we toil
Yet shared are no spoils

We smile with heart full of grief
Yet we work with no relief
Cus we believe that ‘no work, no food
But in the eyes of the rich, we are fools

I am here today to tell
That struggles are here to stay
But that should not shake us
Cus of the confidence and courage within us

For the scripture says,”we are more than conquerors
The power in us spurs more than that of emperors
Though in our weaknesses, we are strong
Just know that success will not take long

Because you got this more than anyone else
Why look somewhere else?
When the solutions to our problems are within us
The answer that leaves us disorganized floats in us

It’s waiting
Patiently waiting
Waiting for us to Tao into its glory
So we can proudly write our success story

Because you possess power
That makes your limitations cower
You’re really greater than you seem
Because widely runs your dreams

You just need to stand up
All that is needed is not just to step up
But to level up our lacking
Cus you will fold your hands and stare in awe at your stockings

So smile widely
Laugh gladly
Cus your comfort is in your strength
And in the lord your might
