State of Mind

If you feel you'll lose, you've lost it already,

If you feel you'll break down, you certainly will,

Even a cinch would appear like a mountain to climb,

Anxiety will trap you from all corners, if not felt otherwise until,

You might be bruised and battered, thoroughly worn down,

Live for what's in front of you, not for the future, not for what's left behind,

Success shall follow you at your will,

As everything else is just the state of mind.

If you feel you'll drown, you're already engulfed,

If you feel you'll be alone, well that shall always be the truth,

Something's about you will never change but to survive you must rather face,

Cold eyes, black nights and wrath of the Ruthless Ruth,

Grapple your problems and slay them with sweetness,

Buckle up your strength, be fierce, be lofty, yet kind,

Think that you can and so you will,

As everything else is just the state of mind.

No matter how innocent you are, learn to trick the trickster,

No matter how noble you are, learn to humble the humbled,

Get accustomed to rise and grind, even when crushed against the stage,

With the words you never spoke, with the syllables you never mumbled,

Life is a long journey, it is a never ending quest,

And the world, it is your oyster, all vague and undefined,

So open your arms to change, take a deep breath and start believing in yourself,

As everything else is just the state of mind.
