A Defeated Soul Poem by ameya deshpande

A defeated soul is the most humble creation
As it knows the truth & it's own limitations

A defeated soul knows life's pitfalls
It knows what makes you stumble & what makes you fall

A defeated soul is always compassionate as it knows how it feels
it knows what hurts & what heals

A defeated soul knows that its going to be a success
But its wise enough not to trade its own happiness

A defeated soul has seen the rise & the fall
Hence its friendly & is as strong as a stone wall

A defeated soul knows that death cannot be avoided
It knows the foolishness of life where the fear is rewarded

A defeated soul is a hero who doesn't have a success story
But it knows that you must live for yourself & not for the glory

A defeated soul is sometimes as quiet as a stone
Because it knows that life is an ice-cream melting in its cone

A defeated soul can share its story without saying a word
It can tell you the truth that you haven't heard

A defeated soul hasn't lost its faith in goodness
It only knows better the dangers of life & is not careless

I think that a defeated soul is an echo of a sweet melody
It may have seen the dark side of life but it still is a thing of beauty
