starting is usually tough.
it's life's way, never a plot.
so even on handcuffs
move on and never miss your slot

getting along may be rough,
you still have to lay soft.
a friend could take the heat off,
but never show your weak spot.

pay no heed to any bluff,
their ways vary like a slut.
like horses suffer windpuff,
every ill act has it's own rot.

we ride but not on carts ,
or move but not in cars.
with the destination in our hearts,
and the urge to reach the stars.

Every step now counts.
go through all the rounds,
for only the brave surmounts
to take the price that abounds.

never take ur start for granted,
or your steps uncalculated,
cos every beginning has an end,
but the truth lies within that trend
