I Strive

Why shall I freeze my dreams? Why can’t I let them flow? While some maybe hopeless, But some may tend to grow. You find me as an ugly rock, Some think I am a worthy stone, But do you know who am I? Just jumbled flesh and bone. I have tasted many failures, Still I strive towards my goal, Tell me not success is sour, You cannot silence my soul. I shall keep my hope alive, Till the night is bright as day, The only time I shall give up, When death comes in my way. Some may tend to love me, And some may tend to hate, I keep dwelling in my dreams, I am the master of my fate. Inspired by the line- I am the master of my fate - by William Ernest Henley Feb 06, 2020. Contest Sponsor: Silent One Famous poetic lines 2 Poetry Contest
