Walking Tall Poem by Lalip Nanda

When no ones’ with you,
And the cheer is gone.
When even the sky falls short,
To shade you from the sun.

When you are the last one,
To leave the room.
When you are left alone,
And none waits up for you.

When goodness leaves,
And despair prevails.
When you see from your face,
All smiles just snatched away.

When you curse god,
Show your anger.
When you live by a hope,
That things may get better..

When your very soul
Is getting crushed.
You call out for help,
But see, none rushed.

Then is the time you
Know yourself.
You see that you,
Are your best help.

These are the times,
You walk tall.
Either the times change your life,
Or you change them all…
