POEMS

Strength

I have come a long way
From years of suffering
And struggle
Just to get a recognition
In this harsh world
Where you strive and strive
Making people believe
That
Even you have your own identity,
Even you can do something.

The agonies
I suffered long back
Still remain with me,
Haunting me,
Torturing me, Bringing back the days,
I cried upon my failure,
Pondering
Over my future,
Losing all my perseverance,
And control of myself.

But I had to strengthen
Myself to be
Once again seen
By this world,
Face its wrath,
Show the people that
I can recover
From my failures and
Gather the courage
To fight back
And try to
Gain what
I aimed for, long back
Before my failures.

I could achieve
At least something if not everything
With my hard work
And dedication, my pertinacity
And the spirit to win
In any circumstance
In any dreadful situation
To fulfil
My dreams
And
Give colour to them
As my wishes do and,
No doubt, at last
I have attained
So much I wanted to
But hopes still remain
Aspiring high
As they are
One day to touch the skies.
