BECAUSE YOU ARE YOU

Because you are you

You let go for peace to reign

You swallow the pain for all to gain

You support the course not minding who gets the crown

Because you are you

They often think you are weak

They will always take advantage of you

They win arguments with loud voice not facts

Because you are you

Your lips prays for them to succeed

You silently hope the stop picking on you

Your magnanimous heart wishes them no harm

Because you are you

They think you are a coward

The will assume you are a nonentity

They will imagine you cannot not fight back

Because you are you

You will not let them weigh you down

You will not compromise on your standards

You know the He in you is greater than them all

THAT MANGO FRUIT

On top of the tree

Attractive to the eye

Desirable to the mouth

Required by the stomach

As I await your ripeness

Courageous men are eating it with salt

With our gaze fixed and hands outstretched towards the matured ones

We are outrun by the birds that pierce the mango flesh with their beak

As it hung on the tree

To posses it is my ultimate goal

To feel the touch of its tender flesh my utmost desire

A lot of people want this too; I must outmatch them to reach my goal

If I use a stone, I could damage the mango

If I use a stick, it may fall and get bad

If I rely on the guy on the tree, he may not give me what I desire

If I buy on the road, it may not be fresh

I have to climb the tree

Possibility of falling is the risk I must take

Staining my cloths is a price am willing to pay

I will get more options while on the tree
