It came to a point in my life when I resolved to break out of my shell,
It was difficult, you know…
When you’ve been in a place of comfort for long,
But you need a better life,
And mediocrity must be erased,
And normalcy too,
Because you’re a standard,
And you must set one too.
It came to a stage in one’s life when you decide to face life and its complexities,
In order to live a fulfilled one,
Against all odds.
Life will be harsh,
It will be unfair,
But if you’re able to withstand the test,
It will make you happy,
That’s the algorithm.
There will be both internal and external pressures,
They will call you all sorts of names,
And say mean words to hurt you,
But you must stay focused to the game,
Or remain a mediocre all the days of your life.
