Be Upbeat, Brush Off Defeat Poem by Ratri Mandal

Sitting by the window, there you are
Thinking what you will do tomorrow to make the ones after it better
Is the burden of failure too much to bear?
There is no use of crumbling under the pressure

You don't have to take so much weight on your shoulders
You know you can't, you're not Atlas
But it's so hard to see those dreams shatter
And there's no need of being an overachiever

Why feel that heat
And make everything so tangled
And all the desperation, that is making you feel lost
and trying to make you feel that you can never succeed

Put out all your grit
Your flair for everyone to see
And, why feel that heat?
Just be upbeat

Just have to prove your mettle
Show the world you are stronger than any indestructible metal
And even if your faith in yourself becomes brittle
Just remember that getting what you want is never impossible

If you feel that in your road to success, there are too many pebbles
The road is too rocky
And you cannot make your feet settle
Then fly a jet over and out of all those jitters

Why feel that heat
And feel sorry for all the sorrows
Regret making mistakes and find the faults in yourself
Freaking out yourself, because the time left is too less
Rather work up a way to proceed

Just be unique
Your original talent is for the world to perceive
Every goal can be scored, just kick out that heat!
And, be upbeat
