Childhood has been miserable,
Because you have to learn something basic,
When we grow up as a teen
I got pressured to top the boards
I got pressured to become a doctor
Will the world still accept if I am something else?
I feel like running away from home,
I think I am not safe in my home sweet home,
I want to speak to this world,
I have my aspirations,
To change the mindset of the people
Who judges me based on occupation,
Who are you to control me?
I am a phoenix who takes the rebirth from its ashes
Which is from its failures.
If you control me,
I will control you every time,
As you made my life miserable
I will make yours,
At the end of the story
I have my aspirations!
