You, I think about, every single day Not only does it make me happy It provides me hope Whenever I mope You are not simply an inspiration In me, do you ensure perspiration In order to reach my goals If I achieve success I will dedicate it to you, for your writing Because, you keep me believing Hence, never do I give up In fact, the only way for me is up Drives me, does your radical thought Which is straight from the heart About society, you give not a **** Something that manages to make me beam Even when I am drowning in a pool of insecurities You pull me, bit by bit Towards achieving inner peace One does not have to be perfect Thanks chiefly to you, did I realise that Your fiery passion helps me stay afloat Even when the ship of my mind is sinking Due to too much overthinking You enable me to get rid of the clutter Thus, does my focus keep getting better and better A true braveheart, you are In spite of being a mother Amongst the loudest, is your voice Against all sorts of injustice What better motivation, do I need? Thank you, Dear Comrade Jai Bhim! Vaazhga Periyar!!
