A Ray Of Hope... Poem by Srivishnu Rentala

An arrow of despair
is all that's required
to bring everything
that's not desired.
The world may seem crude,
but that's how it goes.
No fate decides your mood,
your ecstasies, your woes.

The burden of sorrow
or the wings of treason;
make it a point to follow,
whatever is the season.
But you mustn't let it
derail your numb soul.
Instead, ignite it with grit
and give it soothing cajoles.

Hope is the light
at the end of the tunnel.
It aids you to do right,
to be strong like a colonel.
When you fall down,
just get up and proceed.
In dejection, don't drown
'cause that's not what you need.

The world may sneer,
deliver gibes and taunts.
But you must ignore 'em
and not let it haunt.
People may underestimate
but be patient and wait.
Life gives us a chance
to show, 'we too are great'.

Be tolerant, be stable.
Have faith in yourself.
After all, you too are able.
everyone's got their own charm.
It's important to realize
self-degradation brings harm.
Remember this fact,
you are one in a million.
So unleash your power
and achieve your dream.
