Days After-16 Poem by Smrui Ranjan Mohanty

And after

DAYS AFTER-16

There is light in darkness
You do not see it
Coz darkness has entered your mind
And completely blanketed it

A situation
You can make a heaven or hell out of it
It is up to you
How you see it and
What best can you make out of it?

You lay down your arms
Before the battle begins
You do not believe in yourself
That is the reason for which
You are repeatedly defeated

It is not age
But your attitude
That determines your outlook
Your attitude takes you miles away
From life and its beauty
And never allows you to live for yourself

Find the soldier in you
The killer instinct
That saw you through many a battle
Be the hero, you used to be
Problems will vanish or find their solutions
The difference between
Your today and yesterday
Is only in your mind
Nowhere else
