Victory is certain

There is no more fear left in my heart

As I make strenuous efforts towards my future;

Our collective reality is hope-filled. 

Atleast I feel that way. Yet, we see

Slavery and disrespect perpetrated. 

I wish to become a voice for the future. 

Something in me nudges me. My time has come to claim my crown and sceptre;

Not one moment lost in paying gratitude;

Not a moment's ease as I forge ahead

Towards victory to claim my spot

On the victory stand. Hope, love and respect

Filling my nerves. Effort. Effort. Effort. 

Your criticism doesn't bother me anymore.

I'm here to be happy and contribute 

To society. Violence must cease. 

It's so close at home. Violence must

Cease. My vows: be grateful for everything 

And again, effort. A life filled with

Happiness and joy and love. 

I know that all my dreams will fructify

To reality. It's obvious. Just as the sun

Rises in the East each day. 

Bathed in hope I abandon all fear, 

All disharmony, creating a revolution

Of hope, smiles and love. With effort. 

Never ceasing effort and taking responsibilty

Even for a moment. You curse me, 

Vilify me and badmouth me. 

Narcissistic you. Always blowing

Your own trumpet. May be that 

Pleases you. But I'm grateful to you. 

It teaches me how to win

Without showbaazi. Silently, 

Quietly, with effort and gratitude. 

I've ceased to fear and I claim

Happiness. It's mine. Victory 

Is certain!
