All this for what?

GPCHANDRADITYA 2006 (Vizag)

During the summer's heat
Walking the town on feet
To study I must
And I know it's not for just

In the wake of dawn
I work till the day's gone
In the night's heavenly gaze
I wonder my life, will it be a star or a maze?

When I know the truth
Is what I learnt from youth
All the ups and downs
What I want I renounce

The Wise I've grown,
The More I shone
Like the star I desired
With the name and fame it hired

Herewith Memories in the end
I Assure myself as I descend
To remember my unsettled thought
All this for what?
