New Dawn

As I roll out of bed tomorrow I’m gonna say goodbye sorrow Fare thee well Mr. Cynicism See you later Mr. Pessimism Adios to Mr. Skepticism Exit negativity, enter positivity No procrastination and inactivity An idle mind is the devils workshop That’s why I’ll exert myself nonstop No more misery and depression As exuberance replaces dejection Success is around the corner It’s coming now and not later Victory is surely heading my way No matter what people may say I quit banking my future on luck Time has come to break the duck A new dawn has shown its face My home will be a better place I’m a potential winner, a true born victor Within me lies a superstar, a megastar No I’m not building castles in the air, I’m not dreaming, I’m not hallucinating I have to earn my place in history Put a good ending to my unfinished story My story is about confidence, not arrogance I advocate humility, not vanity Trials and tribulation come and go Sticky situations are not unique to you But we all know as well as you do You need hard work and determination For the youth, education is the only solution You’ve got to make the decision To extract yourself from destitution Leave nothing at all to chance For fortune favours the brave No sweet without sweat, no pain, no gain Each time you fall recollect and try again A dream doesn’t become reality through magic Lazy genius is not only sad but also tragic Stay focused, keep your eyes on the prize There is no substitute for hard work There are no secrets to success Only in the dictionary does success precede work We are all gifted, skilled and talented Unshackle that innate ability Let loose that latent capability I’m gonna prepare, plan and plot Execute and give it my best shot Until the day that I hit the jackpot
