Poem by Faiz Syed


The road to success is not straight

There is always a curve on the way

A loop of confusion

With bumps of distraction

People's perturbation

With the red light called enemies

And that caution light called the family


I'm struggling

Waking up each day

For that daylight game

So worried not to lose my grip

Because I have a goal

Determined not to miss the goal

Aiming to get the goal

A goal I will never let go


So many have given in

So they end up stumbling on themselves

And although life is hard and ain’t easy 

But I possess so much pride


People may fail many times

But they become failures

Only when they begin to blame someone else

The quantity of our success

Is determined by the quantity of our determination
