Pause while the music plays
Don't wait till the last note drifts into air, To sway your soul, to show you care. The spotlight isn’t meant to burn— It's there to teach you when to turn. The stage is yours while life still sings, Not after silence spreads its wings. Don't dance for ghosts who've walked away, But for the joy that fills today. You wear the weight of every slip, Scolding your soul with iron grip. But stars don’t shine without the dark, And even scars can leave a spark. Be gentle now—your heart still tries, Beneath the clouds, the sun still lies. So pause, breathe in, just feel this space, Not every moment is a race. Sip your joy, don’t chase the wine, Not all clocks count to prove you’re fine. You’re more than what the world demands— Be still. Be soft. With open hands
