BEYOND THEIR MEASURE

In the market of talent, they discovered you,

By their will or by your efforts too.

You are the foundation, the pillar strong,

Yet they dismiss your morals, treat you wrong.

Dragging you toward a fate uncertain,

Among countless souls, still self-burdened.

You may be unique, though they don't see—

For many stand in line, but you think free.

Reality hides, always far from view,

You fall in the well of fools, untrue.

You believe you're less, but that’s not so,

Your perfection shines, more than they know.

You are the pillar of knowledge bright,

Place it firm, and stand with might.

With patience, wisdom, break their rule—

Let them stumble, while you keep cool.

For one day soon, the world will see—

The man of worth you’re meant to be.

Stay steadfast, strong, and keep it true…

I promise—you will be important too.
