POEM NO. 225 - UNFULFILLED DESIRES!!

Poem No. 225 – Unfulfilled desires!!

When I set out on this journey,

I believed I could sail through,

Victorious, triumphant I would end up, I thought,

But bitter disappointments are what I mostly got,

I believed my dreams would come true,

My desires will eventually be fulfilled,

However ambitious and big they may be,

Coz I always thought I had the potential in me,

I imagined a life full of joy and luxury,

If I get the things I badly wanted,

But I couldn’t make my dreams a reality,

And now I have realized; some things just aren’t meant to be,

I had hoped I would reach the skies,

Or maybe even higher I wanted to go,

But now as I look back, I ponder,

Am I good enough for my dreams, I wonder,

Why wasn’t I realistic at all, I am thinking,

Why did I dream big in the first place,

 I just couldn’t estimate where I stand,

And now my frustration, very few can understand,

I had high expectations from myself,

But missing was the smartness,

And also maybe the required intellect,

And so I failed; a fact which I now have to accept,

But I do have a good alternative with me,

This rejection is surely not the end,

Maybe life was meant to be this way,

And I can surely try again, another day,

I wonder why we often forget that,

There will always be unfulfilled desires,

In life; and many a lost conquest,

But that shouldn’t ever deter us from living life to the fullest………..
