I do not want to live, just to exist,
I want to try and try and persist.
Persist on achieving my dreams,
Though I know how unrealistic it seems!
There seem to be a lot of the kind in town,
Who say “If I can’t reach you, I’ll pull you down!”
Look around you, very few you will find,
People, belonging, to the encouraging kind.
God, Fate, is the reason they give.
For the defeat, with which, they are forced to live.
I wonder has it ever occurred to them,
That it’s they, not anybody else, to be condemned?!
It’s our life, not anybody else’s
When will they all come to their senses?
It’s on me and my faith on my ability that I want to rely,
And it’s not mediocrity, with which, that am going to comply.
It’s my dreams that I want to realize,
For the joy and content it will bring to my life.
And one day,I would like to look back and say,
I had given my best to each and every day.
Keep your dreams alive, it is the hope of achieving those dreams which makes life worthwhile.
