This is me!

THIS IS ME!
Life is in devastating shambles,
Because your expectations crumbled
And you began to grumble;
You looked around and no one seem humble.

Everyone just mind his business;
And couldn't show an atom of kindness;
And It seems you were alone in your sickness.
Not minding the darkness,

You stretched yourself, but there was no progress.
Why? You asked yourself in distress,
Like a rhetorical question it returned meaningless; 
Cus' no one is left to say even less.

Why me? You screemed!
But it seems your screem returned in an echoing stream.
You looked for a team
But everyone look grim.

Right in this devastating confusion,
You craved for help and a hand of redemption,
But were seen as a lousy distraction.
Who shall save me from this contention?

No one seem to care!
Even those you relied, not there!
And all you trusted, choose to stare.
Like a cripple you motionlessly stayed there

Life is a struggle
The earlier you understood the safer the trouble,
Cus' no one might be ready to join you in the stubble
And you are left in the lonely jungle.

You wonder in your deep ponder,
Why men swim in this selfish river
But you couldn't phantom the right answer
But continued in the matter

Then u asked yourself is this me?
Yes it is you for real
By now you should know what life mean
That you have to create your own team

It is time to know who you are
That you are a star
Not a raster
But can be an achiever

Decipher what you can do
To become the real dude
Try and refine the crude
Then you will find the real you

Your abilities and capabilities
Will become your anchor in profitable activities
And finally can become a celebrity

Then you will answer the question,
That needed no explanation
That the nation
Depends on that explosion
To derive a better satisfaction

It is then, only then you will say
This is me!
