The Fire Within Poem by Mridusmita Das

When the risk is high but a desire to succeed,
You will take on the outcome on your stride.
No matter what they say, you know
You are here to stay and win.

The rough sea may wash you far away
Yes your clothes are now wet and you are cold!
But the tsunami within your soul drives you
The burning desire to see your loved ones motivates you.

Even if you land on a barren island
The passion to live will get you to the shore.
On a dark night one little starlet
Will give you a ray of hope.

My friend, when the sea is calm again
You see the horizon and the vastness.
You will hear the birds sing a happy song
You will know you have SURVIVED
