We slave away from nine to five, then crash without a spark,
Trading dreams for deadlines, lost in tasks that leave no mark.
We save and stash for someday grand, afraid to spend too free,
But life can change in just one breath—we're gone so suddenly.
What use is gold we never touch, or plans we never try?
The moments pass, the years slip by, no second chance to buy.
So chase the sunsets, book the flight, dance while you are near—
Because money can’t hold memories when you’re no longer here.

Like a candle,
She burns herself just to give light to others
Like a star,
Long dead, she brightens the dark sky
She cuts her wings,
to let others fly
She even takes a bullet,
to save someone's life
She is a keeper, selfless
She gives her hand to the unfortunate
without anything in exchange
She's willing to give her all
She gives her mind, heart and soul
But there is a part of her, she doesn't show
She is lost in her little universe
And every night she shivers
No one would know,
No one notices, the tears she holds
Yes, she is selfless
But no one dares, to look back at her
