I wish someone had told me that:
An A in Math and Science was not the goal of life
English Art and Music too made futures bright
Failing in exams was as normal as passing
And failures too had inspired World making things right

I wish someone had told me that:
Characters of people matter not their color and caste
Honesty is lived by some but traded like a diamond by others
The closest and truest friends turn out to be mothers
Strangers today could become more than your own from the past

I wish someone had told me that:
Prostitution is not always by choice but also no choice
Trans genders are humans meant to live with rights and voice
Love marriage is not a crime and will not always go wrong
Life is a bittersweet cake that doesn’t last very long

I wish someone had told me:
The lessons I learnt on my own
By the time I was up grown.
I often see my cake in smiles and tears
My faith in the Creator enough to live through fears
