What makes you and what does not
WHAT MAKES YOU AND WHAT DOES NOT
It's not your dreams that make you
But what you're ready to sacrifice in order to fulfill them is what makes you
It isn't about how much you pray
But it is about what you are praying for
It's not your body structure that makes you
But it's your human heart that makes you
It's not your victory that defines you
But your attitude towards your failures define you
It isn't about how much you have
But it's about how gracefully you've accepted what you have
It's not about how loud you can speak
But it is about what you speak
It isn't about how much you can read
But about how much you can understand
And lastly it's
not about how perfect you pretend to be
But it is your little imperfections that define you

I wrote this just a few years back and it was my first poem. I had no experience writing at that time I just wrote what came from my heart. And I hope what came from my heart touches your heart. Thank you
