MY PEOPLE AND I

If I come up in life

People are jealous of me

If I am a failure, they take pity on me

I have the guts to face enemies

But I can’t bear sympathies even from friends

I am born to win but not to run away from life’s problems

If there is a problem, I will try to solve it

If there is no remedy, I will leave it

I don’t want to grope in the dark

but I light a lamp and play in the park

Very strong poem. Good messages for us all to live by.

I like the direct and positive words. I agree with your logic. Waste of time to swim in loss. Need to be strong and find a sunny day and celebrate being alive. Thank you for the excellent poem.
