Anisha Dutta Poet Sedoka

Pride

PRIDE

           You worked really hard
           Path of life was uneven.
          You have stumbled on each step.
           Truth was only guard.
         Long journey was not serene.
         You had not fled to escape.

          Deceit, betrayal 
           jealousy, failure, pain
          attacked, but you stood erect.
           Love came parallel
          Your effort was not in vain.
         Success proved you the perfect.

           Sure you are proud
           to win the troublesome game.
           Act as an Idol rather.
          Don’t be rude or loud
         as you have attained the fame.
          Pride has no right to hurt other.

Beautiful Scars January 18, 2016 at 10:43 AM Anisha, thank you very much for being a part of my contest. I loved it, but the syllable count you used in the first stanza was: 5-8-7-5-7-7. I hated to do that, it was a great poem. Thank you for being a part of my contest *smiles* -luloo Anisha Dutta January 18, 2016 at 11:05 AM I am rectifying. Thanks for consideration. Anisha D
