Survivor

Survivors

I was halfway 

towards the journey

to the top

where my destiny awaits

with the garland of victory

But the hurdles of devil

plotted evil schemes

to pull me down

and break my pride

with it's weapon called fear

I looked up 

where my dream lies

I looked down 

where my past cries 

I had climbed 

the unconquerable mountain.

However it's snow covered crown 

was only the challenge

There is a time

when burden of insecurity 

outweighs your ability,

weakening your focus

diluting your efforts 

making you fall

from feet so high

That time arrived

with the bang 

at the doorstep

of my journey,

dwindling everything 

I had in stake

My focus was at it's worse.

Alas! I made a mistake !

I put wrong foot

at the wrong place

And I fell from thousand feet

I lay on the ground 

where I had started

with zeal of bird

making it's first flight

My pride was broken

and my confidence wounded

My limbs were tired

while my strength left

me to my circumstances

The vultures of failures 

circled around me,

planning the death

of my identity

As I was about to give up,

a thought struck me,

Why not set to climb again?

My conscious mocked,

my opponents laughed 

but I didn't give up

and climbed 

treacherous journey 

to the top

My focus had doubled,

my efforts tripled

while I didn't give

way to my distractions

I never looked down

and climbed forward 

to glory at the top

At last I reached the top,

where my destiny waited

with garland of victory

I claimed the crown

as the survivor of my fall
