IF I WON'T IMPROVE...

When I reach out
to walk with you
When I reach out
to be your friend
When I reach out
to be your lover
If I don't meet up
with your standard
If I don't represent
the best you deserve
Please, never hold my hand.

May be,
I would wake up
to brace up
and build up
to be someone
nobody can do without.

Perhaps I refused to work on my mind
to be a better person,
May be I failed to upgrade on every side
to be desirable,
Or it is certain I won't change for good
to always do what is right very right.
If I won't improve on myself
to be the very best I should be;
you are free and permitted
to walk away without looking back.

However, on the other hand
Before you close your heart
Or hastily take your leave
Ensure your inference is correct
not to make a wrong decision.

If I am judiciously striving
to be my very best
If I am always improving
to empower the rest
If I am fervently working
to attain perfection
Surely, there is hope for me
to be a sought after everywhere.
So, don't write me off yet;
I am still a work in progress.

Come tomorrow,
your soul won't depart from you
at a glimpse of my advancement
should our path meet again
or you read my exploits on the headlines
or hear of my excellence from a far country.

Nevertheless,
if the direction of my life
don't lead to (or won't get you to)
your own desired destination;
suffer not yourself to bounce with me
until I make a timely and necessary switch.


Food for Thought:

Never give up on whoever is yet to thrive but is earnestly striving to get there. Whoever refused to give up on himself/herself cannot be underestimated.

It is only someone who chose to remain the same on a spot and unwilling to improve on himself until death that lack glorious future.

No matter how much people love you and willing to be there for you, you render them incapacitated if you have chosen to be the same forever. You become pissful for as long you decide to remain a failure.

Be careful of those you let into your life. Whoever will consequently draw you back from making tremendous progress is not worthy to be in your life. It is very dangerous to take on someone who is not committed to leading a meaningful life. People that mess up their own lives rarely do contrarily to another person's life.

Whoever does not change his/her mind in good time cannot change his/her bad habit(s). It doesn't take eternity to correct oneself. You cannot afford to suspend your own life unnecessarily waiting for people to improve on themselves. Move on with your life if those in question have unbreakable resistance to positive changes. Only people that are committed to timely improvement are worth dealing with.
