With A Faith Poem by Mahfooz Ali

When I close my eyes,
I see so many dreams,
Dreams I want to materialize,
Goals I want to achieve!
Aim is one to be successful,
Path is one, a rough one, I need to tread.
When I close my eyes, I can hear,
Hear those bitter tones and that sarcastic laugh..
I can see with my eyes closed,
gigantic figurines, and overpowering ego,
Which shatters my faith in myself.
They loom around as eager devils,
Ready to devour my presence,
Ready to wipe out my existence,
Ready to drain out my strengths,
They were always there around me!
But this time it's going to be tough,
This is a tough test for me..
All is dark around and I stand alone on this path,
I need to prove myself,
I need to show them all!
But there is only one way out,
to keep going along,
With a faith...
