You cannot

You cannot climb the ladder of success

With both hands in your pocket

You .cannot cross hurdles of life

Unless your muscles respond to kick

No one can scream Long and loud

Unless you have voice to pacify your pain

You cannot hope to fight for justice

Unless you have will to move ahead

You stand alone and watch the night to fall

Others look for stars in your sorrows

You can only suffocate and bear all loss

Unless you learn to fly and break the chains

No one can dream of a happy future

Unless you remove the grime from the present

No one can have a silent quiet death

Unless you turn wise and peaceful inside .

Demons overpower you gnawing your heart

Unless you rise above and be your own person

No one can tear your soul haunting with past regrets

Unless you wipe off the shadow of ignorance

You cannot enjoy the fresh fruits of happiness

Unless you desire to dry the stale tear drops

No one can hold you down with sting of insults

Unless you cleanse your soul and shed the old life.
