Only If You Try

Others might have tried and failed

In the wrong path they all have trailed

A little indecision, a little hesitation

Is enough to see you languish in degeneration and depression.

The sadistic storm will wage its war

Presenting repelling challenges to the fore

It’s for you to stand firm on your creed

Till you overcome and possess what it is you really need.

Sometimes, you must strain your eyes

And persist only to see the stirring light

But then, your worries will be doubled twice

Forsake not attainable lofty height; do what is right.

Only the brave has the propensity to go all the way

Surmounting, effacing every hurdle no matter how small

Nothing it is you have to say,

Is the reason you can’t rise after every fall.

The road not yet taken

Inhabits records not yet broken

Why not challenge yourself

Discover hidden talents and be true to yourself?

Put yourself to a simple test

Define yourself and see if you have been living at your very best

Offer excuses neither a parlor nor a room;

Seek knowledge and never choose to always assume.

Only if you try,

Can you become better

You really don’t have to lie

In the pursuit of accomplishments left, right and center.

Only if you try

Would you know how far you can go

And with stanch confidence as that of the sun up in the sky

Would you realize the ‘you’ the world is yet to know.
