when everything is gone
Take away everything you have —
the fame,
the luxury,
the pretty face,
the glowing complexion.
Remove the shine
that the world admires.
Now look behind you.
See
who still chooses
to stand there.
If you find even one soul
still beside you,
then trust me, man —
you have already
won the world.
But if no one is there…
then you have met
the hardest truth
we spend our lives
trying to ignore.
People often love
the comfort you provide,
the resources you carry,
the shine that surrounds you —
not you.
They rarely wish
to know the person
hidden beneath it all.
So in the end
there is only one lesson:
love yourself,
respect yourself,
instead of begging
the world
to do it for you.
