... earn your bread
... eke out your living
... satisfy your needs
... take initiatives
... voice your views
... back your decisions
... script your success
... win your arguments
... fight your own battles
... bear your own burdens
... single handedly crush your enemy
... stand alone in the face a storm
... protect your ego
... never compromise on your dignity
... safe guard your interests
... sooth your destroyed soul
... balm your broken spirit
... suffer in silence

Rise to the occasion and see yourself through all times..... on your own.
