I messed up, yes I did. I know, I was stupid.

Let going off my hands, just like the slipping sands.

After all making mistakes is too common, didn’t people say ‘To err is human’?

Then why ‘people’ give me that glance, that I don’t deserve a second chance?

I came into this world like everyone else did;

Had nothing to worry then, but was whining like a kid.

Maybe I could see my future clear? I will be forced to be an ‘Engineer’?

But No! That’s just not my thing, maybe I was born to do something big?

To those who want an answer, I am fighter and not a quitter;

 To those who say I can’t fly, I say, ‘I quit only when I die’.

I wanna say those ‘people’ in advance, I do deserve a second chance.
