Live a Life Less Ordinary
We've our own idea of life. We've our own way of living. We've our own choices & priorities. To each his own. Here's mine:
They tell me to get my life together,
But I wanna have all the fun.
They tell me to make a name & fame,
I'd rather read & write in my cocoon.
ββ
I don't wanna fill my pockets,
Don't wanna live in a white mansion.
I am a free soul like a free bird,
Want to fly high across the continents?
ββ
I wanna paint my soul,
Wanna dance to my song?
I don't wanna run your mad race,
Just wanna go on & be carried along.
ββ
I got this one lifetime,
Wanna make the most of it.
I don't wanna run pillar to post,
Wanna stay back & sing at home.
ββ
I wanna gaze at the night sky,
Don't wanna shoot for the moon.
I'll feed my soul & follow my passion,
Live on the edge morning & afternoon.
ββ
I wanna go out for long walks,
Spend my evenings by myself.
I wanna play with my street friends,
Don't wanna wait for the weekend.
ββ
I wanna sleep soundly at night,
Welcome mornings looking bright.
I wanna take the day as it comes,
So be it to scale the heights.
ββ
Think I am carefree,
Think I am comfortable.
How does it matter, however,
As long as I am healthier & happier?
ββ
Neither am I ignorant
Nor am I delusional.
Just wanna see this world,
The way it stays rich & colorful.
ββ
Don't wanna move forward with haste,
Wanna carry on at my pace with grace.
I know that this swifty world won't wait
Until I take my last breath to go to waste.
ββ
I wanna stay true to myself,
Don't wanna live a life like theirs.
I wanna do my thing, wanna do my stuff,
As long as I live, As long as I am here.
