Don’t be a foolish one🙃.
Don’t spend your life wearing borrowed confidence😀,
standing on borrowed shoulders,
calling it strength💪.
Be a cool one😎.
Not the kind that performs —
the kind that doesn’t need to😄.
You don’t need a stool to look taller.
If you can’t stand in who you are,
no platform in this world🌎
will ever make you big🌠.
Because real height
is built inside the spine♨️.
And the cool ones know this🌀.
They don’t look for seats in powerful rooms🎊.
They become the presence
that rearranges the room✨.
They don’t ask for space
They create gravity🗯.
They fall🙃.
They break💔.
They rebuild in silence🤫.
And one day, the same ground
that watched them crawl
learns to carry their shadow🕴.
When you finally take your stand,
your heart stops shaking hands with fear😯.
It starts shaking hands with direction⬆️.
And that’s when things change.
Not because the world became softer💖 —
but because you became solid.
Dreams don’t bow to wishers🌠.
They open for those
who can stay standing
when it hurts💔.
So don’t be a fool
polishing masks🤖.
Be the cool one
who bleeds💞,
who breathes😇,
who stands.
And becomes🙂
what they once only dared
to imagine✨.
