I Shall Pave My Own Path Poem by Prafulla Kumar Panda

You may write down in history
and can ever show me low
with your fun and feign
at my suffering and woe

with your bitter, twisted lies
you can ever show me low
and can reign your empire
and the more popular you grow

you may tread in this
and can trample my fragile mind
but with your fun and feign
you can't ever hold my soul or bind

but still like the dust, I rise
a phoenix I'm, from ashes I'll grow
and pave my own path to walk
even at my suffering and woe.
