Inspiration is a lifestyle.

If they are scared, do not push them

For that will lead them away.

If they are arrogant, do not humble them

For they will wonder further astray.

If they are lost do not show them

For they will never learn the route.

If they are uncertain, do not teach them

For their dishonour will leave them mute.

For now, I stand before you

An item now complete.

Though hurdles stood before

They were just one of those I beat.

For when I was scared, I was not pushed

But nurtured to who I am.

For when I was arrogant, I was not humbled

But allowed to be my own man.

For when I was lost, I was not shown

And learned my own way back.

For when I was uncertain, I was not taught

And now I will never lack.

Through times of trouble and times of joy

I have learned through all the while.

So today I’ve made myself a man

To provide my own true lifestyle.
