A million ideas floated in my mind,
But to each of them as I spoke,
I said, one day, one step..
First came success.
Oh, I can put you up there,
Where you stand alone,
Looking at others, left far behind.
One day, one step, I said,
Am not ready to climb the lonely ladder yet..
Next came money.
Oh, I can make your vaults clink,
Till you hear no sound of emotion,
Spending mercilessly on you without any care.
One day, one step, I said,
Am not ready to indulge in more than my needs yet..
Then came fame.
Oh, I can make you a social star,
Till the likes, cloud reality,
Hovering over FB and Insta, while others are truly loved.
One day, one step, I said,
Am not ready to social bubble myself yet..
Last came happiness.
Oh, I can make you content
With as much success, money, fame and love you seek.
Taking with you, your loved ones along,
Today, this step, I said,
Yes, am truly ready for happiness, you bet!
