It’s okay if today you fail while trying,
It’s okay if your world seems dark,
While others shine.
It’s okay if you are not the best one in the room;
It’s okay if your well-thought plan turns out to be doomed.

It’s okay if you have no one to call your ride or die;
It’s okay to lose some deeply loved but unbearable ties,
It’s okay to weep in a corner all night all alone;
It’s okay if solitude is the only delightful feeling that you’ve ever known!

But it’s not okay,
If you stop after you fail while trying,
It’s not okay if another’s shine makes you blind.
It’s not okay to accept that you are not the best one in the room;
It’s not okay to settle at your lows, not let life bloom.

Embrace this beautiful life every morning after that gloomy night;
Gather all your courage and fight the fight.
And when once again you come home undone,
You sit and weep alone until comes the Sun.

And maybe one day in your solitude, you’ll realize,
The purpose is not to get it all everytime.
Like a tree leaves, we all have our spring and our fall,
And,
If you look closer our journeys aren’t different from each other, Not At All!
