Why do you have to Change?
Why do you have to Adjust?
Why do you have to Modify?
Why do you have to Pretend?
How many Days you'll Cry
On your Own, without
Revealing your Pain
Concealing all times,
How long you'll Bear,
The Agony on your Own,
Never sharing with anyone
And smiling falsely,
How long you'll Hide,
You can't, it makes
You depressed and doomed,
You are completely lost,
How many days, you'll adjust
And change for others,
You're Banishing your Desires
Each day, Enough, all is Enough
Don't pretend, be the way you are
Don't Delete your Uniqueness,
Don't Hide your Talents,
Bring them Up, don't Shy,
Don't be Scared or Afraid,
Just take a Breath and live
The Life you have Dreamed,
The Life you longed for,
Be the Way you are,
Be the One you wish,
Be the One you Adore,
Be the One you Admire,
The World won’t let you,
Always Complaining and
Keep on Accusing you,
For even little things,
Your Parents will Obstruct
Your Good wishes, you
May be saddened, so don't
Give up your Wish
Prove them it is Worthy,
You can and You will,
You relinquish before
Proving them, do prove
Your friends may Criticise
The way you are, your
Fashion and Manners
Don't be Upset by it,
Don't change like them,
Don't Follow them or their ways,
If you do so, you'll forget
Who you are, you'll
Lose your own Identity,
You may think it's Better
Obviously No, you're Unique
Retain your style and fashion
Be the Way you are,
You are not created like them,
You are different from them,
So be it and don't Alter Your Nature,
Your Society may also
Taunt against you because’ of
Jealousy, it's hundred percent True
They can't bear, if you're Happy,
If you give ear to them,
Then you can’t survive
In this World; it’s better
To leave it behind,
Don’t worry, what others
Will say or think
You aren’t under their
Control or their Slave,
They didn't Sponsor you
Or responsible for you,
They don't even care about you,
All they want is you to be Sad,
You are an Independent,
Who deserves to live
The Life of your Own,
You don’t Owe anyone,
You have lost a lot
By Altering and modifying
Yourself for others,
You have lost everything,
The True sense of Rejoice,
The True sense of Fun,
The True sense of Love
And the True sense of Life,
You don't need to do it anymore,
That Time is gone now,
It's your Time to Shine
Like a Dazzling Star,
So, put away all of it,
Revive and fresh up
And live Your Life, like
You have Desired,
Just See the World
Each and everyday,
As expected, the Summer comes
With the Blazing Sun,
Almost drying up the land,
Making us Sweat a lot,
The whole atmosphere is Hot,
So hard to sustain the Summer,
Then, the Rain comes
With it's Thunder and Lightning
And bring it's Cirrus clouds
And pour out the Shower,
Making the World cool,
Nurturing the Greens,
Pouring Happiness and Delight,
With its amazing Raindrops,
Then, comes the Spring
Blooming lots of Flowers,
Spreading fragrance and
Sweet scent everywhere,
Then, comes the Autumn,
Giving the most delicious
Treats of the seasons
And brings up Senescence,
Then, at last comes the Winter
Freezing everything by its
Snow blanket and causing
Living ones To Hibernate.
In all these changes, you
May think the World is altering
But in fact, no; the World
Remains constant, it remains
As is it, it copes up with
The seasons, and not changed,
It remains as the Globe
And continues to rotate
Without any change,
In the same way, you may
Also face many scenarios
Cope with them but don't
Change yourself for them,
Be the one you are,
From the beginning to
The end, don't forget this,
Also, enjoy your Time,
Time is fast and furious,
You can't Hold it,
You have to strive along with it,
You have to use every
Millisecond like you Wish,
Microsecond like you Desired,
Nanosecond like you Planned,
Don’t waste even a second,
The World appears to be Huge
But it has less time for everyone,
No one knows when the End will come,
No one can Predict Death,
All the Astrological studies are Vain
They are Seductive and luring
But of no use, always
Keep in Mind; Fate and Death
Are unpredictable forever,
No one has the Ability to do it,
So be prepared for anything,
Whatever comes, face it
Bravely, don't run away
If you do so, fear will
Chase you, continuously,
Boldly face it and solve it,
Turn the situations in
Favourable for you and for
Your life, like you've Sketched,
Life is small and short,
You can't take anything
From the World with you,
Not even a Speck,
The one thing you can have is
Satisfaction, that you lived
The Way you are, with
Immense Happiness and Joy,
So, until the End,
Admire Yourself,
Adore Yourself,
Appreciate Yourself,
Until the End, love yourself,
Cherish yourself and
Be proud of Yourself
Cause’ you are Unique,
Enjoy your time wholly,
Welcome the Good and
Bid Goodbye to the Bad,
Celebrate your Entire life.
Don't Turn to Evil paths,
Remove all those in
The World of your Own,
Live with Enthusiasm,
Live with Determination,
Live with Hope and Faith,
Live with full of Energy,
Live with Pride and Honour,
Last but not Least,
Be the way you are,
Stop pretending and enjoy
The Life given to You!
