If you do not listen to the sounds of life,
If you do not appreciate yourself.
You start dying slowly ...............When you kill your self-esteem;
When you do not let others help you.
You start dying slowly..........If you become a slave of your habits,
Walking everyday on the same paths..........
If you do not change your routine,
If you do not wear different colours
Or you do not speak to those you don’t know.
You start dying slowly............
