Aspirations Come True

The day was cloudy and so was her mind

She thought how could she live so, her life was a grind.

Waking up early and reporting to the office,

Was according to people, very much suffice

But she was a different person, made of another mould

One of the very few, mankind's platinum, mankind's gold

Not made for presentations or hunching in a cubicle,

Not made for the luxury, was happy with very little.

All this routine work gave her a tumour!

Amidst all the seriousness, hid her humour.

What she truly was only knew her heart

Only if her parents agreed, she'd had had a good start.

Plucked up her courage and went on to ask

It wasn't that easy, was an onerous task.

Not only the parents,but herself she questioned,

"This does look suited, but was I for this destined?"

Left her routine and went out on the streets

Everyday she performed but was asked to retreat.

But mankind's gold swore never to give up

Soon she started gaining money in her cup.

Today she stands on a stage very high,

Wondering about how the time flew by.

Had she not realised her true potential,

She would still be struggling around, with her credentials.

Many jokes of hers receive not only applause,

But she was said to be everyone's happiness' cause.

Hard times had disappeared soon, said she as she inspired

Millions to live their dreams to which they aspired.

"When life gives you lemons", she comically said,

"Get a squeezer and have a tasty lemonade!"
