Step Backward Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

It was one step forward
And two steps backward
Nothing was proving decisive
As I had remained submissive

Mind was not stable
And not prepared to face struggle
It was most cowardice approach
Person can not remain in race as such

Even in day to life, you need to be clear
There has to be no indecision or fear
“If” and “but” has no role to play
They must be kept far and away

The result was not sure and certain
With shaky mind, the position can not be maintained
It is bound to receive mixed reaction
With no result and futile action

With firm decision, you may no about outcome
It is not necessary to have positive come out
Yet you may know that you tried your level best
This was your limit and you stood the real test

Never keep mind in double state
It may deliver nothing but create mess
The position may become vulnerable
And it will lend in more trouble
