Reach The Top Poem by Meena Iyer

There is darkness all around,
No one is to be found,
Undaunted i tread
Where others dread...

For i seek the truth
I know my hard work will bear fruit
Dangers I dare
In defeat I don't despair...

Many-a-times I will be disheartened
I may want to stop
Doggedly I would go on
Till I reach the top (stars)

There may b thorns here n there
And my feet maybe bare
What if blood does flow?
Steadfast I go but slow!

I may weep in pain
While others look with disdain
They may mock at my misery
So what? some day.. I will b care free!

I may have a fall
I may b abandoned by all
I will take my winning leap
Before i go to my final sleep
