The torrent ahead doesn't scare me
I have seen worse and got past it
When you hold on to faith and hope
Everything diminishes bit by bit
The violent waves excite me
Reminds me of all my achievements
If everything comes easily to us
Will we have the same fulfillment?
The splashes of water on my face
Remind me of the tears and pain
The troubles that I have endured
Did not let me down or go in vain
To be the successful person I am today
I have tried and worked very hard
I have won some and lost a lot
I've healed as well as scarred
I still want to remain the humble being
I do not want success to envelope me
I know that one day it shall all go away
A blank page then it shall be
This place gives me everything
It shows me both faith and fear
But it is the silence in the roaring scream
That always brings me up here
I come here every alternate day
To remind myself that I'm a mere mortal
If the sea and wind could have they way
~ Soumya
I felt a chill run through my bones :O Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks love!
DeleteWow...I love how you can envelope all your thoughts like that. And yes, we should have both fear and faith because no matter how much success we get, at the end of the day we are just mere mortals :)
