I used to think that silver platters
Were worth a gold's reward
But with each fumbling master
Are noble humble hearts
These masters rule and scold
Govern and protect they must
But the real heroes of the day
Are left to rot in the dust
For every sword, a blacksmith
For every crown, a jeweler
Every artisan should have his throne
If these are the makings of a ruler
Superficial wealth and shallow status
Are this world's greatest lies
Yet most still fall short
And seek to claim this filthy prize
True worth is not external
It's what's within that makes us whole
To practice your own talents
Is the true commodity of your soul

Commentary
I want to preach self awareness. I believe that it is important to know yourself and discover your craft. As 
Often times, we are left in our minds thinking so lowly of ourselves because of the abundance of great artists in the world. We see them on billboards, on television and in the trending section and we begin to think, "How will I ever compete with them?". This is a normal human experience. I am quite sure that those who are now at the top of the wheel spent their time at the bottom as well, thinking the same as you are. We are always deemed to see be insecure at times.
However, this should not be tolerated. If we continue to see ourselves as mere shadows casted upon by others, we will always remain 8n the dark. We need to find outlets of our troubled thoughts and channel these into something productive. We fail to see that worth is not defined by others but solely on our own perception of ourselves.
Get to know yourself for you are your own art. You define your self, your define your worth
We can learn a thing from craftsmen, those who simply practice their arts. I believe it's vital to find worth within ourselves and not in any external rewards. It is when we practice what we love that really makes a difference in how we live. Through our art, we open ourselves to true joy and find peace within ourselves.

About Me
I aspire to preach on Self-Awareness and Mindfulness. I see the profit in capitalizing on your own talents, your assets, and what you have to give to others. The world is a dark and scary place and at the end of the day we can only depend on ourselves. I want to help people see their worth and to help them in the process.
