A letter to a striving soul

Dear striving soul,
I know that it is never easy
to go through what you, your soul
and your body are going through.
I know that you've tried,
your bones had suffered
and your heart had so much cried..

With no doubt and not a bit
of hesitance on what you believe
the little will-spirit in you can do,
you bounced and solely embarked
on a journey that ticktoks no
time in the hands of clock
to seek for a fruit of triumphant
on a road full of thorns of
labours and hards
with no blink of light that leads
to a SUCCESS GUARANTEE.

I heard that..
You rolled,squirmed and tossed
in sweat-soaking nightmares of
RISE AND FALLS with a face dranged
with litres of sweat that speaks
about the series of your perpetual
trials in the rise and fall of sun.

And I heard
that you strived...
you tugged and pushed harder
through the path of the struggles with
a mind full of brighter expectations
singing songs of morales and chanting
words of praises to your heart
at the last peak of your strength
to ace for the success of your dream.
But....you fell in the trap of FAILURE and
dived in the sea of shattered HOPES.

Oh you striving soul..
Suck up your sweat and
take a bite of your
dream with courage.
Free your soul from those
FEARS of failure
playing you like a dull
in the hands of kids
and think smarter than your brain.
Everest wasn't climbed in a year
and Rome wasn't built overnight.

You are a clamberer,
a climber and a hiker
on the mountain of life.
Bearing a bag full of dreams,
wishes and the reasons to live.
Struggling and hustling to reach
the top in the whirls of wind...

So......
Take a breath of courage and
put your brain in your eyes.
It takes a mind full of skills
to ace a mountain's peak.
It takes sun and falls of rain for
the plants to sprout and
It takes dusk, night and dawn to see
the light on the face of the rising sun.
