Fly

Sitting on a snug chair, I was staring out a window 
How a little bird on the surface was trying to fly 
Little kid, was finding difficult to do a task 
Which others of the same age did with ease 
Tried his best, but was not achieving the result 
Not because he was idle but because of luckless 
Stepped back, ran forward with greater force 
Lasted above earth for a millisecond and again fell down 
Cried hard, saw his friend flew away doing the same 
He another time stepped away and repeated his actions 
But, for the same method, is always the same outcome 
Comparing little birds with small kids 
How fortunate are the ones who get success 
How dreadful is the situation for the one's who fail 
By doing the same as others, working hard all day 
But in the end, left all alone dejected 
He's considered indolent and loafing by the world 
But if anyone had seen the process, knows the depressed one 
He, might not achieve the height, his partner did 
But surely one day, this hapless bird will also FLY

I feel you ‘getting up again’ is a subject that everyone experiences in their life which makes it a most used topic but the way you have put it is outstanding and different. Understandable. good work man!
