The time abraded her soul layer by layer
Her chirpiness was also not spared from being pared
But her gaze was still sharp and intriguing
Torpedoing all barriers breaching every moat
She consumed wilderness
And that what she became

Today you may be a chapter lost in a sea of books,
Or a tune hummed once in some hidden brook.
Forgive them for they are naive,
Unaware of the treasure stored in your hive.
Soon the day will come,
When you will be their moon,
when they will be raring to bask in your sooth.
Remember the dark days have a purpose of its own.
For it needs you to bring the new shining dawn.

Your grit to succeed will take you places,
And that Midas Touch will glow any insipid soul,
Your purity of thoughts will amaze everyone,
For the universe will be in your control.
The stage is set,
The world is yours,
Go grab it.

Be in a place,
Where you can speak your mind.
Take part in a show,
Where you can portray your best.
Find a reason,
That wakes you every morning with vigor and zest.
And for such reasons,
Don’t hang your shoes yet,
never quit the show,
enjoy the journey and stay.
