Determination

Determination

A Poem by Farhan Shaikh

Pushing all the troubles aside
Doing the things I like. 
I am born to fly, in the dark, I'm bright
I'm not going home tonight. 

Mama knows how much I love her, 
But there are mountains to trek over. 
So, I'm not waking up at home next morning, 
I am sorry, I ignored your forewarning. 

I will keep going as far as I can, 
Heaven awaits me in this world. 
Even when I fall and get an injured knee, 
It will heal after I eat mama's recipe. 

Don't be stressed mama, I'll be back to you 
You'll be proud to see me anew. 
Untill then, let me imagine you saying, 
'My son, How was your life's  view?'

I love how you expressed it right here, it's like "leave your home and try to find your own self"

I love it.

You gotta get out from somewhere to be somewhere..thankyou
Mark Twain once quoted - "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime."

If you're going to grow within humanity, you must witness it in all it's entirely.

I enjoyed your poem. Thanks for sharing.

That's right btw thanks for your time
I like this piece...it expresses well how when we leave home we have to find ourselves and how we struggle with our moms a bit. As she let's go and we fly we want our moms to have faith we love them and that we are going to do our best to make them proud as we find our way!
Well done!
