Riggling The Routine

Every morning,

Same alarm, same bell,

Same rush and same hustle.

I wake up—

Brush, breakfast, bath, study,

Homework and sleep.

Does this show that I am punctual,

Or just sleepwalking through my days?

Routine brings habits,

Habits bring purpose.

But purpose can either drain our days

Or design our destiny.

The same 24 hours

Slip through some hands,

While others build empires with them.

So I took a pause

And asked myself—

Is my routine following me,

Or am I following my routine?

ROUTINE — a seven-letter word

That can change the entire world.

Now I wake up with intention,

Not just to finish tasks,

But to feel moments.

And last but not least,

The most important routine is to pause

And remember why we started.
