Tragedy
Dark clouds over the valley of my reality.
A mistake - irreversible.
You were the tragedy of my life.
A decision that seems so poor in retrospect.
The sorrow that fret away my courage.
Yes! You were the tragedy of my life.
You made me fall, you made me howl.
I became a lachrymose, mistake was mine.
I hate to say but I gave you that right.
A topper became a back bencher.
Popped up my shattered confidence.
What could be a dire consequence.
I tried so hard to get so far!
My mistakes still taught me the right!
My sedulous efforts helped me thrive!
I can’t be annoyed,
Even though you were the tragedy of my life,
Coz you helped me to become determined and wise!
