CREATE A BETTER " YOU " FOR YOURSELF...!!!


All the passion and zeal that you can't feel

The sudden disappearing fun, are you being human ?

In a week of 7, spend 5 days of misery

48 hours in scorching sun

Yet some business still remains undone

A caged bird or a man with dead hope

Be like a soldier

Even brave with a blunt sword

A countable year of 365, you call it life ?

Don't count how good was it

But how many bad times did you fight

Believe in yourself not in the right time

Destiny not approaches a man waiting in line

You need to identify yourself even if they mock

Don't you forget Diamond is also a rock

Pretty, rich, good fucks are only high standards

You better shed it away like irksome dandruff

Don't climb the ladder of high hopes

Take the stairs of accepting the truth

Don't trick yourself by thinking of winter

In the hot days, don't play that smooth

Don't hurt yourself for others comfort

Being a candle and lighting a candle are different things

Do you like to suffer?

Don't feel wrong to do the things right

Even two wrongs doesn't make a thing right

Don't hide your pain in smile

Painkillers might be a temporary way

But this way ain't gonna prove worthwhile

Don't be a follower of paths

While you can be a follower of your heart

It's only through the mistakes that the learning starts...
