“Get, Set, Go And Dream”

By Akansha Niranjan

Let's talk about dreams

and of course, not about those that

comes after you sleep

instead, those that brings

distinct emotions flowing into streams

You strive, you cry

and sometimes it feels more like You die just to keep them alive

converting them into reality for which

You always stand to give one last try

Oh! My dear, for which you have fear

fear of losing them, scared of losing something you love more than anything

You are terrified of your failures and lying into despair with tears

With an aching heart and confused mind

You see them burying under peer pressure

and doubting your own capabilities

Are you going to climb

those tough slopes leaving your worries behind?

But then there is a reminder

reminder of hope and perseverance

You get a loud wakeup call

to hold yourself again and reminds you that

You need to find your path finder

Gathering the courage to fight

and to see them once again with shining eyes

You stand against all odds

and you're ready to try one last time

with all your zeal and might

That's when you learn, you aren't miserable all your life

Instead, it makes you indestructible so that one day nobody else can stab you

with their imaginary knife.
