Be Nothing, But Yourself Poem by Abdul-Qadir Abdul-Mumin

Be nothing, but yourself

Yesterday you called today tomorrow
Your heart is full of sorrow
Like a lonely, homeless sparrow
Like you've been shot with a poisonous arrow
Be free! , like a free Crow
You can be who you want to be
See what you want to see
All you have to do is set yourself free
Never let your guard down
Don't you ever frown!
In the ocean of happiness, just drown!
Keep smiling no matter the pain!
Cause after the pain, you would surely gain
You would achieve what you want again and again
Don't listen to peoples manipulations!
Don't fall for their fabrications!
To be a great person
You will have to face oppression
Pass through suppression
And fight aggression
But after all this what is next?
Next is, move from worse to best
Then work to rest
And then jump from last to first
See the best and not the worst in yourself!
And then be yourself!
