Path To Greatness Is Always Lonely Poem by Arun Maji

Path to greatness
is always lonely, painful.

If you walk path of billion people
how could you be great alone?


If you want to be great
you must walk lonely path alone.
Don't look at those
beautiful faces of friends
and grieve.
They wouldn't be there with you.
They would abandon you
shortly after you start your journey.

Yet you must walk.
You must walk with broken legs,
aching heart and crying soul.

Emptiness would agonise your heart
Sadness would sever your soul apart.
Yet you must walk. You must.
You must not give up
even though you would feel like giving up.

Divinity wants to meet you alone,
He wants to talk to you alone.
So that, you and divinity can speak
heart to heart.


O human
Why cry if you are alone
and abandoned in your journey?
Don't you know
path to greatness
is always lonely and painful?
