A man is made up of many things, None of which can be seen at a glance, We all have our weak little moments, When another’s opinion cuts deep, While judging a man first take in account, The conditions from which he’s prevailed, His ability to keep faith, Not just in victory but when he fails, You think you can define me, But let me tell you something, I’ve a universe inside, I hold an untamed ocean, Don’t tell me that you know me, I’m the universe in motion, I stand proudly in my place, Whether people like it or not, I may be different, But that doesn’t make me stop, So dare to do what no one has done, Get to know others before you judge them.
