Succeed
They were seven roses in all,
Seven beautiful Petals,
Friends and associates,
They wine and dine together,
They laugh and weep together,
But they are not the same.
You know…
They have different lifestyles and beliefs,
But they have a goal…
They all want to succeed.
Geneva was the first girl,
A carefree girl,
Who believes in working less but partying more,
She believes in no-stress syndrome,

Standing at the corner is Lydia,
Who complains a lot,
Blaming circumstance for being the cause of her failures,
She refused to take up responsibilities,
And each time she fails to meet a target,
She falls back and never want to try again.
Maya is the soft girl,
Addressed as the “Cool one” by her friends”.
Because she is cool with whatever life throws at her,
Twice she missed her exams because she is too cool to catch the morning bus,
She laughed and threw her hands hysterically into the air when her friends queried her about it,
She is too cool to worry about exams and so she refused to read,
While others worry about the next thing to do she remained indoor sleeping and watching movies.
