Muddling and rugged path
untraveled and challenging road Destination is far away I feel thorns, pebbles, and harsh ways ‘Never give up.! Inspired, he.’ I fumbled, fell, and failed multiple times Yes, I was a failure! They questioned, complained, and quoted Number of titles spontaneously received I, Too many responsibilities Toiling day and night Aims were so high, tasks unsuccessful Destination is far away Yes, I was a failure! Failure! It inspired me, Rising my high spirits Thought-provoking words Motivational talks Encouraging folks Failed deeds that I did All enthralled me! I didn’t give up even a single time If I didn’t fail, I wouldn’t work hard I wouldn’t succeed, if I didn’t lose One day, I failed failure I became the winner Yes, had I not failed then, I wouldn’t have been victorious O dear, failure is temporary Triumph becomes a memory!
