Called To Succeed But Afraid... Poem by Mahfooz Ali

Called To Succeed But Afraid...

Rating: 5.0


The bright lights of fame keep calling to me,
They want me to be the one they seek,
They tell me I am good but I do not believe,
They tell me I am strong but I know I am weak,
They flash just beyond the horizon over there,
And here I sit in the perpetual darkness,
In the anticipation of light.

yeah beautifully penned! ! ! ! ! ! dont think of the light its always around u God has given u so much fame what more do u seek? instead thank him everyday and night marvellous poem telling about your inner fears. Sometimes u know, these fears are all imaginery, our own mind tricks us into believing all that is not true. Whatever your this poem deserves an A++ anjali

This is so true for so many people who could really be something fantastic if only they could break their own mind-shackles. Well penned.
