Latent, Innate Incentive

The poem asks readers to not to judge world through achievements rather to seek guidance even from those who lag in the race of success. But the sole inspiration lies within yourself as you are the one who can choose the track for yourself.

————

Thine avidity fosters thee a juxtaposing vision,

To foreshow ones forte from ones feat;

Chasing the mendacious myth of inspiration:

Thou keep amending thine revered elite.


One who straggled is more lucid,

In vividly manifesting her lacunae.

Than the one overw

helmed with pride,

And the tales of every triumphant day.


Glance within thyself for some moment,

Thou wouldst discover that innate incentive.

Thou canst hearken maestros’ enlightenment,

But never let them determine thine strive.

None but thou art thine own incitement,

It is thee who canst pervade optimistic vibe.
