Be your own friend

a poem by Devi Nangrani

To please somebody,
Anybody can hurt everybody,
And when somebody is hurt
He tells everybody, that
This world belongs to nobody
And no one belongs to anybody.

Before it is too late,
And the shining sun of my life sets,
I must know myself,
And tell myself to do,
What pleases me the most?
To make myself a good human being,
So that I can belong to God,
If nobody accepts me,
As I am, for what I am,
I am pleased as I belong to God.
