Life

Life is crazy
Life is mysterious
Life is beautiful
Life is confused
Life is full of fantasies
When I was 8 years
I remember I used to believe I am going to be a big boss
but now stuck here
I used to say I will be rich
but still I’m not
The only right thing I used to believe
is that I can be
whatever I need to be
because I am still a student
and my future is in my hands
and education
Life no balance
