Story Of A Humble Boy Poem by Arun Maji

I lose again and again.
Achy in heart, I feel like crying
And giving up.

As tears roll down my cheek,
I slap myself hard
And command myself-
"You bloody boy, get up
And run again harder".

My heart aches, soul cries,
Mind despairs,
But I don't give up. I don't give up.
I stay loving and kind to cause
I cherish in my heart.

My heart breaks often
But it heals itself fast.
My soul cries often
But it wipes tears fast.

Of course, some are lucky.
They have palace and princess,
Praise and fragrance.

But I am luckier.
I am blessed with a loving heart
And a kind soul.
And I have indomitable courage
To go on and on.
