Stand Alone To Stand Out

When a beautiful Mercedes car breaks into a run just for show, its show of speed leaves turbulence in its wake.

When it shows up among its fellows, they feel a compelling need to go for a break.

Never to be called average, it conjures a sphere of class around itself, then stands alone.

A car looking too good to be true, you need not bother for a clone.

Oh, how often many of us merge with the crowd, scared to stand alone.

Joining bandwagons at every bus-stops of life, feeling fly and 'forming' woke.

Future feels disappointed; many are comfortable in shadows, too many sleeping on queues.

Another day is here. Future awaits the emergence of the real you.

Like a beautiful mercedes kicking back dust, leave turbulence of achievements in your wake as you go about paying your dues.
