Yours Alone

The world awaits you;
Don't let it down.
Don't say "I can do anything with my life, afterall, it's mine alone"
I dare to say, friend, it's not yours alone.
From the beginning, it was never yours
And till you die, it's never going to be.
Think about what life itself has given to make you stay alive all these years: the air for your breath, the soil for your food, the water for your thirst, and everything else for your wellbeing, and you dare to say that "it's my life."
You're wrong, friend, it's not yours alone
So before you die, give back to the very life that made you stay alive.
Give back to those who need your help willingly,
Don't keep it all to yourself; for it's not yours alone.
Above all, don't live for yourself alone; live for others too !and,
Always remember that your life is not yours alone.
