Taste of success

In the game of life

Day to day we see too many strife

Its like walking bare foot on a sharp knife

And yet, We always have to thrive!

Why is it that we need to compete

No, there ain’t a way for us to cheat!

How is it that we still beat the heat

And work so hard, that we don’t end up on the street..

My life had been clean

It was all rosy and all so green

I tried to be never mean

To face all challenges, I had always been keen.

Lending a helping hand whenever I could

You all know me, I had always been good!

Life yet burned me like I was some wood 

Like burning charcoal I stood...

Race and more race

Sometimes I hid my face

Ashamed of my first defeat that I had seen

The territory that I had never been!

I try and try, 

somewhere the confidence going dry

In dark moments I do cry

I look up to the sky and ask why?

There had been people who still did believe

Who pulled me out and made me roll up my sleeve

The dreams that I weave

They showed me that I could achieve!

And then things turn

The passion in me burn

Yet again, I yearn

And my lost position, I did earn..

Finally, I did rise again

This time, my face towards the rain

I didn’t let their believes go in vain

And the little taste of success that I finally attain!!
