Apprehensions are allowed pessimism is not
Life is not as stress-free and simple as you sought
Yet every breath you take is irreplaceable
Thank your stars and your God that you are able
Ambition is allowed greediness is not
Stockpiling is not about how much you have bought
If emotions are gathering dust in the corner of the heart
You need to revisit your ambitions and chart a new start
Aches and pains are allowed wallowing in it is not
Every situation in life has a shelf life distributed in lot
So take your moods in your stride and renew the beam
Ups and downs enrich the road they make a good team
Affection is allowed affectation is not
So many myriad sentiments in which the heart is caught
Lower your expectations slow the pace and let others in
The greatest passions are those that outlive the din
Attitude is allowed arrogance is not
Swallow false pride imbibe the lessons life has taught
Carve your character with honest intentions and integrity
Success entails guts and temerity handling it needs maturity
