Trying to be Somebody

T hough tears almost dry,

R adiance alters to cry,

Y ield's only dropping by,

I nsanity teases with shy,

N ightmare deprives calmness,

G naws conscience leaves mindless,

T ime shows the tamer of horses, Hector,

O r Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior.

B eing remembered for the brave behavior.  

E xemplary figures that never fade forever. 

S uccess doesn't come freely,

O bstacles will stop your odyssey,

M ourning star covers how far you see,

E nemies' envy will kill you slowly.

B ut always be the best you can be,

O ptimistic and think positively,

D o not surrender your dignity,

Y ou’ll soon be somebody.
