Improvement is not born out of Envy <br />It's nurtured by the desire to be the best- <br />A striving for Perfection, be it slowly <br />Learning well from a challenge or a test. <br /> <br />Some people who vainly try to pretend <br />They are what they think is a 'poet', <br />Embarass themselves with the message that they send <br />Wrong sentences, predicates and subjects. <br /> <br />For the world is not made up of idiots <br />A majority of us can see the whole truth! <br />Evidence on the page which they can't refute <br />A tragic tale where Pride alone is their fruit. <br /> <br />Study and due practice is a matter of Choice <br />That is not worn like a cloak in an instant, <br />Excellence can come if one cares to heed its voice <br />Then the writing becomes a gem and the thought, not vacant. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />All Rights Reserved ~~~Cynthia Buhain-Baello~~~03.24.14<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/improvement-is-not-born-out-of-envy/
