Changing Priorities

There comes a time in life when the things that we do for fun,
Get replaced by things that are important in the life's run.
Entertainment becomes just a word on the page,
And career takes centre stage.
At this point only dedication and will matter,
A couple of mistakes and we could see our dreams shatter.
The time that was used to be spent in fun or sports,
Gets consumed in surrounded by books.
We can either take the change in our stride,
Or sit and complain with a bunch of excuses beside.
We need to learn to be flexible,
Changing priorities with time should never be impossible.
It's always better to focus on the task at hand,
Than to regret later when time slips through our fingers like sand.
And in this process people will always criticise you,
People who will appreciate it will only be a few.
We should be the one to decide our priority,
And just push the mute button for the majority.
