I Didn’t Care

I never thought about tomorrow,

Lived each day without a plan.

Didn’t chase the things I wanted,

Didn’t try, said, “I don’t care.”

I watched the world move fast around me,

People growing, reaching high.

Still, I stayed right where I started,

Never questioned, never tried.

But then one day, it hit me hard—

Was I just meant to stay the same?

Would I look back years from now,

Filled with nothing but regret and shame?

So I stood up, faced the mirror,

Saw the person I could be.

If I wanted something better,

That change had to start with me.

Step by step, I found my purpose,

Slowly left my past behind.

Hard work built the path before me,

Dreams no longer stayed confined.

Now I know what truly matters,

Now I fight for what I need.

I almost lost myself to nothing,

But I rose— and I will lead.
