The Resilient Heart
Being broken into pieces by repeated defeat,
I was knocked down; heart skipped its beat,
The last hope was vanished; no signs to succeed,
Failures had drained all my energy to proceed;
People, with their own delusional notions,
Concluded that I was left with two options;
One is to stay defeated; other is to give up,
No words of motivation to pump me up,
While brain was falling prey to naysayers,
My heart, still had its unhappened prayers,
While body was breathing the defeat song,
My heart, still wanted to prove them wrong,
Overcoming setbacks with infrangible heart,
I stood up; rushed for a positive journey restart,
Conquering hurdles, running an extra mile,
I proved them wrong; walked away with a smile....
