A chapter of my life



Don't let the shackles of slumber,
Clinch on to your future's fate
Everything in life so momentary,
For no one, this time will wait

Don't fall prey to the worldly desires,
The world will only leave you astray
Focus on what you want in life,
Kindle a ray of light, each day

Life is full of possibilities,
So learn to create your own way
And always remember the darkest nights,
Will lead you to the brightest day

Be the writer of your own destiny,
With chapters that no one can erase
Let no one hinder your path to the higher strides,
And everything will fall in place
