Courage Poem by Amar Agarwala

It takes a lot of courage
To be who you really are,
It takes a lot of braving
To be like a shining star;

It takes all the might & brawn
To listen to your heart's voice,
To gauge the urging's within
And make it your living choice;

At times fate tests your patience
To follow your life-long dreams,
Coloured with those mystic thoughts
That babbles within in streams;

We hear the voices around
We listen to worldly din,
We ignore our soul's whispers
And that is our biggest sin;

The right of choice is ours
And that is our biggest pride,
It's heaven's greatest blessing
That'll ever be by our side;

Let's forget not this promise
And pray that our faith remains,
When everything deserts us
We stoically bear our pains;

The path to success is long
And strewn with troubles and strife,
We need cross many hurdles
When we journey through our life;

We all win and lose in turns
Such happens to everyone,
This world ‘s about survivors
The one who survives has won;

The brave hearts will lord this world
Their spirits shall rule this earth,
Cowards will languish in hell
For that is all they are worth.
