UNHEARD AIMS

UNHEARD AIMS

There is a certain peace in being silent,

Oh! But the adrenaline rush for being violent;

Speak up, you need to question,

Answer, silence is the best notion;

Value yourself before you do it to someone,

Not everyone is there for everyone.

It’s always the rat race that is the view,

Not the talent with the faces new,

The world is a rusted iron, let it screw,

Be the free bird that just flew;

You are a lone achiever, don’t choose the crew.

Look back, people are behind,

Cause there is no right time to rewind,

Choose oneself and let you grind,

At the right time, you will shine.

Don’t give love and money your soul,

Health is wealth is the ultimate goal.

Not everyone thinks the way you think,

So, let the rotten ship sink.

Live your life with your aim,

Let your career and dreams align.
