In Times of Failure....

The one time you start chasing your dream,
Self-respect which you consider supreme,
You realize it is hard to live the right way,
Fight for what is right and good, everyday,

Truth, what the ones above you, fails to see,
Struggle to keep calm to a tolerable degree,
But, being weak you really tend to burst out,
With practically very less knowledge about,

What is reality and what will keep you long,
It is not just a big poem, some inspiring song,
You’ve to swim your way through the gutter,
To earn for yourself, some bread and butter,

Is it so hard, my dear friend, to be honest,
This is just another painful, a stressful test,
But, you cannot live it, the way they want,
Even if fear surrounds, don’t let them haunt,

Tell yourself, all is well; all is just too well,
Keep your head above, in heaven or in hell,
Don’t let yourself down today, deep inside,
Even if you were disregarded or cast aside,

You are what you are, and you are that one,
Never ever give up, in your miles’ long run,
The only thing should you ever get to chase,
No one will help; you have to run your race,

This is not one relay race to pass the baton,
It is your HOPE you are holding, so hop on,
Grip that harder, every single step you take,
Don’t loosen it or let it go, even by mistake,

Do not change your own self, for anything,
Future, your opponent, in that wrestling ring,
Audience all around you, wooing and booing,
There is just one chance, there is no redoing,

Live your life right, this very moment today,
Because this is your very own game, go play,
When you have run all those miles, look back,
Everything that’s history, leaves a bad track,

Past is one vanishing step, you leave behind,
Choose every step ahead , that you can find,
Be the right one, you need not repent later,
Don’t sit and cry, for being your own traitor,

Everything I told you, is just for me my dear ?
Pass it on to everyone who are far and near,
Why am I saying this ? I know you’ve no clue,
I wish, I were smarter, between me and you,
