In the core of youth, a fervent flame,
Hunger, the force that shapes their aim.
Passion’s spark, fierce and aglow,
Fueling spirits, igniting the go.
Climbing ladders, dreams in view,
Craving success, resolve anew.
Unyielding thirst, a potent source,
Rejecting paths of passive course.
Comfort scorned, mediocrity disdained,
Stars chased, no binding chain.
A weave of dreams, a vibrant song,
In the quest for greatness, they belong.
“Average” rejected, a word erased,
Challenges sprinted, pace embraced.
In hunger’s hold, ambitions rise,
Youthful flames that never demise.
Let the hunger be the guiding light,
Dreams unfolding in daylight.
For in every youth’s beating heart,
Lies the hunger for truths that never part.
