Return To Yourself Poem by Nima Hope

Hey look at yourself
Are you the person you want to be?
Or the one that others want to?
The answer is very clear
You want to keep both sides happy
But boy, who can do that completely?
Don't bother yourself
Just return to yourself
You may wonder what I'm saying
I tell you just to fix yourself
Do not care about other people's foolishness
That's the way life wants it
My friend, you can't change people
All you can do is to worry about yourself
I'm not saying you ignore people
I'm just saying to improve yourself
What can you do to be a better person?
Do that to make peace in your heart
Stop hurting yourself and others
Humanity is the best religion itself
Wouldn't you be upset
By the time you are in your 70s
Looking in the mirror at yourself?
Regretting the days you've easily lost
Regretting the golden opportunities you've lost
Regretting ignoring your milestones
Regretting not to reach your goals
While you are reading this poem my friend,
I am giving an advice, specially to myself
To fight for life and never give up
World doesn't care if we are game-overed
So better fight to not regret it
When you feel your life is almost over.
