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.

The Cost of Waiting
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
