A young mind…

One moment you’re waiting,
Under the sun for a bright start,
The next moment you’re soaking,
In the rain watching your life fall apart

Life’s a gamble, just hope it pays off,
It’s a monster; it makes you feel like a dwarf,
Destiny surely has its own way,
All you can do is be in the game and continue to play.

There’s an enormous surge,
The dreams are riding high,
Aspirations tower coupled with urge,
Broken lies the ceiling of the sky.

The world today is a different place,
Where hundreds eat out of a single pie,
Competition stares at you in the face,
Success becomes illusive, however hard you try

The young today are growing old,
Trying to win the rat race,
The line has grown increasingly bold,
Between eternal glory and absolute disgrace

Let me tread a novel path,
Keeping my conscience and faith intact,
Let me not bathe in this ugly bath,
Of treacherous deals and an unholy pact

I know my time will surely come,
Where my words shall mean & my deeds shall count,
Respect shall find its truthful place,
Honesty over deceit shall surely surmount.

Let me await the glorious day,
Keep the faith and truthfully pray,
My victory would be humble and the celebration mild,
Only when the God says, “Bless You My Child”…
