Only Goal Poem by Kranthi Pothineni

Only Goal

Rating: 5.0


Every night before sleep
I always think of my life
And somehow I feel
Something is missing
No clue, what it is?

But my life is fine
Blessed with good roots
Nice bro and cousins
Lovely friends with heart
Along with decent career

On a whole it’s good
But something is wrong
So I probed into it
Into its each layer
To find missing key

So I asked my heart
Why I feel like this?
And heart told to me
I want name in history
Not in the grave yard

So what to do now?
Do you think, I can?
I asked to my heart
Then heart said me
Trust me, you can do

And it showed me goal
Said, there lays the key
Now go hit the goal
With all your heart
If you want the key

Its words cleared air
Now I knew my goal
Also how to reach it
But I feel some fear
May be of initial days

Now I work very long
And I sleep very less
Now I have strange wish
To have eyes like fish
To reach my goal quick

And to see stadium roar
To see my flag high
Then I will sleep saying
Yes, I am living life
Even if I have failed

Finally I knew my goal.
