Don't get disheartened

Don't get disheartened, my friend,

having a feeling of unfulfilled wants,

and a world that shines too bright,

pushing you slowly to the background. 

With every stumble, you continued,

even in the fall, you stood firm,

now is not the time to feel sad,

complain or regret the lost cause. 

Don't get disheartened, my friend,

by the achievements of close ones,

facing the hurdles of comparison,

to be seen less of a person. 

For, efforts were being rewarded, 

it's better to celebrate their success, 

to be part of the joyous occasions,

might give you some cues and lessons. 

Don't get disheartened, my friend,

for the delays that could happen,

not everyone get the ideal start,

it's the quality of journey, that brings fulfillment. 

Let there be hope in your thought,

let there be goodwill in your wishes,

don't feel guilty of having envy,

for their positions and accomplishments. 

So, don't get disheartened, 

keep head high, you are doing great, 

seek happiness in every interaction, 

nurture the virtue of perseverance.
