Mmeso Inspires: Only you, can

It came to a point in my life when I resolved to break out of my shell,
It was difficult, you know…
When you’ve been in a place of comfort for long,
But you need a better life,
And mediocrity must be erased,
And normalcy too,
Because you’re a standard,
And you must set one too.

It came to a stage in one’s life when you decide to face life and its complexities,
In order to live a fulfilled one,
Against all odds.
Life will be harsh,
It will be unfair,
But if you’re able to withstand the test,
It will make you happy,
That’s the algorithm.

There will be both internal and external pressures,
They will call you all sorts of names,
And say mean words to hurt you,
But you must stay focused to the game,
Or remain a mediocre all the days of your life.

When it is getting tough,
Remember the promise you made to yourself,
The life you’ve envisaged for yourself,
Must play before your eyes in reality,
You know, Ese…
This battle is not for the weak,
Fight like a wounded lion,
Fight your way to glory,
Only you,
Listen, Ese,
Only you, can.

The hardest battle is given to the strongest person,
You were assigned this mountain to show others that it can be moved,
Go ahead and make a legacy.
And she asked me “Why must it be me?
I answered, “If not you, who?
You’re the chosen.
You must be strong, because many are depending on you,
Both seen and unseen,
You must not flop or fumble.

At the end, Ese,
At the end,
The pain of yesteryears will be forgotten,
As you bask in the joy of today and forever,
But you must build now,
You must sacrifice to change the narrative,
Because,
Only you, can.
