It may be a tough world, but its a magical world; Where a mere sunset will make you smile.... Amidst all the hardships, When the life you want to live seems a strange place, Be the first to chart this new territory; And leave a clear path for others to follow, They will follow......... You do not have to fell the pressure to lead.... You merely followed the horizon where the sun set, which became a beautiful sunrise... Your Sunrise..... ↗
