Upbeat Denial Poem by RAJESH DEY

I AM ON AN UPHILL RIDE
WHAT WITH THE PAST
MIRED IN MISERY
SQUALOR, TEARS AND TANTRUMS

BE NOT AFRAID OF
PORTENTOUS DARK DAYS TO ENGULF
LIKE A FEVERS RELAPSE AFTER A COURSE IN ANTIBIOTICS

DARE THEM WHO ARE WONT TO BELIEVE
SUCH OPTIMISM SPELLS DOOM
NAY I SHALL BE HONEST TRUE TO MYSELF

TO AWAKEN TO WIDENESS
IS A CHOICE NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU FELL
I SAY I AM THE MOST BLESSED MAN

IT IS ACONVICTION
A CERTITUDE BELIEVING SELF AND GOD
