Never Give Up Poem by Eshna Dutta

Life is a struggle, we name it the rat race,
We criticize it often when we can't keep up and lose our pace.
At those moments, when the game is going out of hand,
When we sit back, recede a step, and not take a stand;
Why does it become so hard to try, but not to leave it to fate?
Why do we not remind us, of the simple fact, that it's never too late.
Never too late to start, never too late to jump into the fight,
Because it's only us, who can get ourselves out of this plight.
Just go in front of the mirror, face yourself, stand up to your call,
For once, look into your own eyes, and tell yourself that you know it all.
With each new day, with the glittering shine of the rising sun,
Brace up yourself, warm up, for another new run.
So, never stop, never give up, never fall back and wait for the soul to sublime,
Work, work, work, my friend, till you leave behind the permanent footprints in the sands of time.
