I am the commander of my own soul
And I love my life, for I like who I am
Though I have been frustrated in my life
I look on the bright side of the things
Cause I know I can find the solutions
And believe fate will work out for the best
I like myself the way, I was and I am now
Though I have achieved less than I hoped
For out of my life. If I reflect on my past life
I might find I am basically very pleased
Cause my beliefs and values still guides me
And I am on the path of eternal gratification
My fate has played a stronger role in my life
Sometimes, I was the disconsolate looser
Without having the truthful reasons
But I grew up and learned that….
Circumstances are beyond our control
But everything happens for our own good
And sometimes the best win is to loose
People say that I am dreamless vagrant
For I never visualize my future goals
Yes, I don’t vision a single reverie
For I have some cherished memories,
Which are more glorious than my dreams
And forever I can live with those scenes
So I keep my feelings deep within myself
And accept my life as the gift of God
For I can sense my dreams coming true
Even if it is never revealed to my heart
I know I will still fail innumerable times
And stand forlorn in the walk of my life
But I just wont give up trying
For valor is the lust that is never quenched
And it grows stronger along with the age
I am getting mightier and mightier with
Each lapse of time, but it hurts, when
People tells me that I am in the verge of my life
