CLUTCHES OF FULFILMENT

Self-actualization isn’t pride,
Let the Ignorant be left to decide,
The road to success is all but a joyous ride,
Remember critics always hope for a tearful slide.

Criticism is a path to self-actualization,
Every negativity could always be converted to motivation,
The right translation could lead to bursts of inspiration,
Wrong conversion could lead straight to an advanced state of depression.

Publicity doesn’t fully entail success,
Popularity also come along with its own stress,
Similarities of both could make a whole lot of sense,
Differences could be so difficult and intense.

There are no two steps to being made,
There’s nothing illegal that would never fade,
Either you stay true to yourself on your own rightful course,
Or risk the wrath of nemesis’ unwanted curse.
