Build Your Own Home

Stop looking at others’ walls,   

Their bricks are not your own.   

Each path is paved with different stones,   

And yours has yet to be fully shown.   

Why watch the windows of their house?   

Their lights are not your flame.   

Focus on your foundation first,   

Let go of every name.   

Your tools are in your hands alone,   

No one else can build your base.   

Stop comparing beams and floors—   

You're running your own race.   

With patience, carve your doorways wide,   

Settle into every room.   

In time, your home will stand so tall,   

And all your dreams will bloom.
