I had a goal in sight
What did I do?
Worked towards it all day and night
Crossed the limits and way past the height
Someone has to say-

Failures coming by one by one
It left me questioning myself
Wondering if I was better than none
It made me want to run.
But I was not a coward-

Understanding my capabilities
Overcoming my mistakes
Taking care of my disabilities
Assuming the possibilities
That's how I spent my time-

Returning back to the battlefield
Testing my opponents again
Seeing what I had to yield
Slowly, the difficult layers I peeled.
Success; then hence kissed my feet-
