Carve Yourself, There Is No One To Carve You

Carve yourself, there is no one to carve you ,

Other than you, who knows you

Only you know what is needed and what to remove,

Others don’t know the details, they can’t improve.

You have the right to keep things as they are,

You have the right to delete, to create,

Then you will be a perfect man, whole and true,

You are the right shilpi, to carve yourself

Initially, you were purely raw and unshaped,

But as you chisel yourself,

a beautiful sculpture is created.

Just remove the unwanted things,

Then see a perfect image

Ignore all the pain,

Surely it will hurt,

but the product will be fine and perfect

Don’t fear the pain, be brave and bold,

Carve yourself unique, no one can carve you like you

You’re the master sculptor, of your own design,

Carve yourself, and make your life truly superb
