Don't let anyone tell you
In letting future be unsure.
That the desire to be perfect
Look at their unkempt gazes.
Without roses in your eyes.
They see your excellence.
They want you because of it
And because of it,you will be despised.
And watch all respect and regards flee.
And from that of their kin.
Let that be a test of their love
And know it was never about you,
Your worth in their eyes,
Is from where your perfection,
But they will tell you otherwise.
How else to convince a gullible one.
You are sweet and pure my child
Yet to learn of worldly wiles.
Your mother has seen it all
Listen to when she warns,
She may have her intuition
They tell you now, to be who
That is safety in their mind.
They will not let you see.
They will take you away so far.
They will make you forget and
there will be no one to remind.
The limping ones don't want you
So they keep you on the lowest rung
And call it staying aground
And they tell you the same
And happily watch you slide.
And they know, yours will be big
So they do not let you sleep.
So you fit into their scheme.
So you come to love all that clings.
But it's poisonous imprisonment.
When it is time for freedom
Don't fall in love with a cage.
Their words may tell a story,
But it is a different book
It cannot be the same page.
Baby we should do the dishes,
Also when it comes to money.
Specially when they want it done
Only by you and as per their wishes.
Ofcourse they plan everything
The day they put money where
And take charge of your charge,
Think of them as generous
And they see and know it well.
And found, how, yourself you
Progress they will confine.
Only the person you choose to please
Another object of your desire.
Do not give them your best.
Bring to me all the rest.
This pleasing will cost you dear.
Because their job is to give you wings.
And they do so with surety
Because they are your roots
Will let you go to the horizon.
Are the roots that you need.
Remember your cry with joy, at your wins.
And let your halo be yours.
To the pinnacle of your success.
Who will show you the summit again.
It is their greatest fear
Because they are base camp squatters,
So they can claim the glory
If you still need them by your side
For you are the one to decide,
Don't let a fool fool you
As a feather in their cap.
