Do Not Tell

People:
Look, you've to forget your past and think about your future.
Me:
No, where can i extract the lessons and strength to help me build up well my future?

People:
Past is past, and nothing better is there, only it's for reminding you all you've lost, enemies, rivals and challenges you have faced.
Me:
It's okay, let me think of what I've lost, so I'll learn how to protect all i own by now.
My enemies are those who make me living carefully, and rivals too gives me confidence and hardworking spirit.
Challenges I've passed will teach me how to pass others in future.

People:
Work hard? Who are you doing it for? People won't appreciate your efforts until you're dead, no one is there to take care of what you're doing, and no matter how harder you're working, they can't be satisfied.
Me:
I'm not doing anything for anyone, I'm doing it all for myself, I'll take care of it by myself and appreciate my work with my own heart and soul.

People:
Why can't you hear me? Come on, stop dreaming.
Me:
Have you heard yourself first? how can i set goals without dreams? please don't tell.

Poet's note: This is not only a dialogue or any prose stuff, but it is also a way of conveying thoughts that everyone can learn from. Here are two characters; People and Me Both they're telling the truth, especially "Me" is truly saying the inspirational words from those of "People" that seems to be weakening in some ways. Some people out there are censors and opposers even for the great thoughts and plans, sometimes it's done by others or by ourselves. Stop feeling negatively for your best thoughts, do everything on your own benefits first, don't ever forget anything either good or bad, maybe you can learn from it, you never know.
