You can't give what you don't have
You can't teach what you don't know
This is a world that you can't save
And you can't change, if you don't grow

To have means is your first task
Otherwise you'd have no goals
They'd be dreams if you take no risk
To collect and light the coals

You'd be lost in the dark
You'd be doomed and unseen
Like a wasted little spark
appeared and faded in one scene

If you want to leave your trace
Try not to fit in the clime
Make your own and claim your space
Grow with goals, don't waste your time

It's not attention you should seek
it's just a fake sign of existence
Don't seek credit when you speak
What you should seek is influence

I especially enjoyed your fire metaphor here, Hazem:

You'd be lost in the dark
You'd be doomed and unseen
Like a wasted little spark
appeared and faded in one scene

You can really write. I love your post @hazem91 ✯◡✯

^_^ thank you

a constructive motivational poem, I feel there is a strong point to myself in this poem, in the first verses

"You can not give what you do not have
You can not teach what you do not know "

You can't teach what you don't know, but sometimes you are not aware of knowing something, and other people tell you that you're so good at something that you didn't even know was your thing )
Poetry is surely your thing, Hazem!

Awww
And so are you fellow poet ;)
And your so good at motivating and suplorting your friends

I'm just telling the truth! And when the words come from someone's heart, they have this power )
