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
