Better Me Poem by Fareez Phalez

I want to be a better man
One with a heart and the right mind
One who can differentiate good and evil
One whose heart is not stricken blind

One who can love and be loved
One who gives and receives warm hugs
One who stays positive and clean
No more self mutilations and drugs

One who is hardworking and honest
One who hustles for no dirty money
One who has a motivation to succeed
One who knows he has to stay hungry

One who spends more time with his family
One who can occasionally bring them out
One who can ease his father's burden
One who can make his mother proud

One who has a goal in life
One who doesn't live like a savage
One who can make good decisions
One who grows wiser with age

And I only write it how I live it
Trust and believe these words I'm saying
'Cause this is like a holy verse
I read this to God when I am praying
