You

If not you, then who?

Your only friend and enemy is you.

You love you.

You hate you.

If not you, then who?

…

Your only job is you.

Start the day.

Take care of your body.

And then your mind.

If not you, then who?

…

Save yourself from vultures.

People who let down you.

Who try to cut you,

shame you,

embarrass you.

Who try to make you feel, you are not you.

Save yourself from you.

If not you, then who?

…

Don’t be ashamed of laughing at your own jokes,

The clothes you wear,

The things you write,

The food you eat.

If not you, then who?

…

It’s you who will be with you,

Till your last breath.

Don’t die before you die.

Don’t die on you.

If not you, then who?

…

Your only problem is you.

Solve it. Solve it. And solve it.

And when solved,

Share the solution with others,

So they can solve theirs too.

If not you, then who?

…

Your greatest teacher is you.

Don’t look answers outside,

But dig inside you.

If not you, then who?

…

Guide yourself, show a path.

Seek what you want to seek.

What you seek is seeking you.

If not you, then who?

…

Gods are watching you.

They depend on you.

They are waiting for you to find you.

Find yourself in you.

If not you, then who?

…

Do what you want.

Do the truth.

Do you.

If not you, then who?

…

Focus on you.

Thank yourself before sleep.

Thank you.

If not you, then who?

…

Nobody will ever bother.

No one is coming to save you.

Nobody will love you,

Until you. Do it for you. Be you.

If not you, then who?
