It's Time....

I have to be free,
The apt moment to cut the chord,
To be today's Einstein,
I have to set a new record!

I have to fly miles and more,
And bid adieu to my nest,
I have to prove the world,
I'm one among the best.

The maze of life would offer me,
Numerous tricky dead ends,
Hardship and failure would be,
My new best friends!

In my life's hourglass,
There is not enough sand,
To realise my dreams,
I have to quit dream-land.

Putting the child in me to sleep,
I have to wake up,
To stand firmly in the real world,
It's time... TO GROW UP!
