Carpe Diem

A lust for difference
Like an itch you can't scratch
A desire to enthral
Arise in a pool of light
A drive, a passion
A yearn for an unyielding honour
A dare to execute something perilous
A thirst for the exceptional
Longing for something exotic
Longing for something more
My advice to you:
Make yourself be potent
Make yourself be heard
Be the luminary
Accomplish what you can —today
Sieze the moment
Because as of now
We are alive
