Success- Failure Poem by Varala Anand

It's difficult to sustain
When the edge of failure
Is visible within the sight

Eyes turn dizzy
Heart turns feeble
The breath
Misses its rhythm

Can't step back
Can't move aside
Can't stand within the place
Will have the heart in the mouth
We feel, as though,
The time is melting
The sky is falling
The darkness has spread across.
It's difficult to withstand.

This is where
Endurance is needed.
Close the eyes
Face the inner self
And remember,
The times of success
The milestones crossed
The buckled roads passed by

The down turns taken
The ups and downs climbed in life
Rewind the reel of thoughts
Remember,
The awesome journeys made
Passing numerous crossroads

The storms and the rainbows
The whole nature will be understood
Only then, triumphs and defeats
Can be concealed under smiles
Can stand tall and walk ahead
To defeat the failures
