You have a long way to go

When there is so much to say

I practise restraint instead

Telling myself-- let the time lead

And pushing myself from within

Try to win over the world with your deed

At times, you may be ignored and left aside

But from them, derive only positives 

And take a long stride

You have really a long way to go

So a few belittlements in the way

Should not put you at low
