Virtue Of Life

Virtue Of Life

A Poem by Shalini Dinesh


































What life am I leading?
Worst than the pain of bleeding!
The truth within me that I sustain
Ends in mere failure and just pain.

I work just hard and even harder,
Wish I could’ve stayed as a toddler,
The loneliness to which am being pushed,
Is not what I want and have always wished!

When every plan I initiate wholly fails,
Its like the paroxysm puts me on sharp nails,
I still try hard, not giving up my hope,
Still I find only fiasco and no better scope.

Is this the plan that god has for me?
Does my success have no better key?
God or me, whom shall I blame?
For things are always not the same.

When no one around fathom me better,
This thought just makes be feel bitter,
To myself I shall keep all my problems,
Feel like not trusting even my close chums.

Though I trust in god and myself,
I shall put all my problems in the shelf,
To make it an experience for my future,
Within me this power of withstanding I shall nurture.

This feeling of hurt and failure will make me strong,
Cultivate the experience and will never let me go wrong,
“The stone that bears most hits, becomes a beautiful statue”
This thought in my mind I shall maintain as my life’s virtue.

Will never let my failures impede my success,
Keeping this in mind, towards my goal I shall progress,
I trust in god and will never let my heart break,
For I know life is not a piece of creamy cup cake!

i like this you described how you never wanted to be around your problems and you talked about god if he was part of your problems. Giid thing you were able to put on the shelf instead of blaming anyone. Awesome job

Yes wisdom here. "Wish I could have stayed a toddler" What I wouldn't give to be a child just one more day.
