If you work hard for success they will say you are money-minded
If you work smart they dismiss it as attitude which keeps you blinded
They want you to hurry up if you indulge in a peaceful steady pace
If your pace is fast and furious they will ask you why the race
Love with all your heart and soul and your passion is labelled unwise
If you steel your heart to sentimentality there will be protest and cries
If you triumph on your own they will want to bring you down
If you fail and wish to try again they will call you a failure and frown
Some people have made it mission to follow and judge your actions
Other people rise above the din without worrying about reactions
Live your life with gaiety keep equilibrium add some poise and piety
You ascertain your deity. Why do you want a certificate from society?
Step away from toxicity step up your game and choose
Learn not just how to triumph but how to gracefully loose
The key to learning any success is to perform and not judge
The mantra to happiness is to let go of that ageless grudge
You are on your own. Your breath your actions your aspirations
You can either blame circumstances or become some body’s inspiration
Ideas roam idly until someone captures them in their imagination
The sun is giving away rays for free catch one and be part of creation
Oh so aptly said, Don’t judge people n let not people judge you.
So well n rightly penned !! Excellent Farida !
