“Never linger, never dwindle,
Never let anyone with your confidence fiddle.
Never let others’ flamboyance sway you,
Be yourself amidst all hassles and never rue.
For you my friend, are God’s own gem,
Revel and shine bright that flame.”
-Stuti Bhamri

Inspiring others to do the same. (urbandictionary.com)
You were born to be you. Nobody does you better than you!
