Greetings to everyone here on this noble pltform, I am much delighted to share my poem entry for this weeks' contest.
OUTSIDE THE LIMITS
source
How did you face it?
When the challenges suddenly broke violently on your happy trial
How did you welcome it?
Did you stand on your feet to fight against it?
Or did you go down on your knees surrendering to its defeat?
There lies the blooming roses you wish to own for yourself
In the middle of wild thorns
You venture to pluck it, but it keeps poking you
What do you do then?
Do you give up on your quest or keep pursuing your dream?
How did you tackle your past failures?
The betrayals and unexpected disappointments?
Did you heal- or you’re still blaming yourself?
If the situation happens again, how will you approach them?
Why do you let the lies of your critics hold you back?
Why do you pave way for their feeble thoughts to settle in your mind and heart?
It’s better to try; Dare to do
For those who dare to do, do! Fall down, be defeated
Yet come up with a cheerful smile; you’re not a coward
Bravely you, when you’re beaten and tossed aside by life,
Don’t be ashamed!
Fall harder and bounce higher above the skies
In life, it’s not the hurt, the pains or the humiliations that count
But how you handle them and the lesson you learn
If you’re holding on till the end
Or get tormented by endless troubles, but refuse to give up
Or get beaten terribly to the ground, but refuse to lie flat
You’ve served your part in the world of men,
Be proud of your scars.
Special Appreciataions to;
