Believe in Yourself

It is your birthright and you should have it

All your life, you have believed others
That every word they’ve said was your destiny.

All your life, you have suffered
Cos you muted the rebellious voices in your head.

All your life, you tried proving to others
That you too had the right to live.

Just for once
Embrace the power of self-belief.

and you will see…

People will start believing
whatever you say.

Your sufferings will end
when you let the inner-voice rule.

You will stop proving anything to others
and create your own beautiful destiny.
