I've got a busy world that surrounds me
I've got no time for a cup of tea
Tired in the morning I wake up
Hurriedly my coffee I sip up
At the fastest ever possible pace
I rush to my work place
Being greeted by sarcasm of my boss grumpy
Getting accustomed to this, I become wimpy
Doing monotonous work of reviewing files over files
When did I decimate my dreams of flying miles over miles?!??
Then lazily driving back home I see an empty dream of visiting Rome
Eating dinner with a frowning face Thinking: "Why am I running in this corporate race?"
I tuck myself into bed with optimistic eyes
But in the morning, I convince myself that going with the flow is wise
Out of the blue, all this stopped
My tiresome job, I had dropped
Fresh in the morning, I wake up
In an Armani suit, I dress up
Walking down the porch of my mansion
Looking at my Bugatti with satisfaction
I enter my office everyday with a new task
The authority I have is real, all this isn't a mask
Planning and strategizing every minute of the day
I enjoy it all, there is no gainsay
The arcane adrenaline rush I feel
After every single deal I seal
I have time for family and friends
Yes, I'll make mistakes but there'll be room for amends
"Tring-Tring... Tring-Tring..." goes my alarm
I realised I was sleeping on my right forearm
To my dismay, the dream had broken
Alas! It wasn't reality, I felt heart-broken
That was the life I cherished
I have a long way to go, my life isn't finished
Better late than never is what I told myself
I've got new agendas on my shelf
First of which is to resign from my job
I'll no longer be a thingamabob
I'll be persistent and not fickle-minded
I'll turn that dream into reality, I've decided
I know it won't be a piece of cake
But with my determination, a beautiful reality I'll bake!
