Poetry 1- Envy
‘I wish I had the life that others are living at the moment’, says the subconscious mind
A state of the subconscious mind that’s never satisfied with what it has in its share
Envy is something that’s profound; common with every person that you can find
It is an unnecessary accessory that the mind is forced to wear
It’s a human tendency that professes the mind to be better then the rest
A tendency that gives the birth to a jealous mind instead
It’s an unnecessary distraction that deviates us from the purpose of our quest
Forcing us to compromise on the time that we had invested
It’s difficult to be unaffected by a state of mind that’s constantly faced by competition
The mind doesn’t have the option to ignore it, but it can habituate itself to this challenge
Don’t worry, ‘cause the mind is bombarded by such situations in repetition
The key is to nullify the compromise that you make with all those situations doing the job to avenge
I know that there’s little you can do to deal with the jealous mind
Maybe it’s this little effort that can restructure your approach as you get back to the grind.
Poetry-2- Humility
We all are trapped under the stampede of a competitive world
Every success whilst getting through it adds on to your share of confidence
The confidence that shows up as a wildcard as long as your pride is concerned
The confidence that tries to negate every episode of diffidence
Every other person experiences a challenge struck by pride
It makes you so blind, that you can’t see the reality that speaks a different tale altogether
Lack of self-confidence then becomes a factor that places the humble individuals aside
The competitive world does the job of demotivating them further
The balance between humility and pride is essential
Since life serves us with variable instances that compel is to act in a specific manner
The competitive world may force us to embrace a character that’s reverential
But, the day when you’ll learn the art of assuming different characters smartly, you’ll have your answer
Humility is indeed one of those gems that decorates one’s character
The balance of the same proves to be the distinguishing factor.
